Investigation by Diaspora Digital Media has revealed how two jealous drug addicts, raped and strangled Rivers State based lady to death.

The victim, known as Success Ugo Anosike, who is from Umuahia South in Abia State, was a dedicated member of Methodist Church of Nigeria in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State.

In the cause of this investigation, friends and family members, described Success Anosike as a calm and soft-spoken woman that stayed away from trouble.

How Trouble Started For Success Ugo Anosike.

A family source who spoke exclusively with Diaspora Digital Media, revealed that trouble started in March, 2025 after Success called to inform him that she was sexually harassed by a male neighbour.

The source said Success told him that while she was sleeping, the young man sneaked into her apartment, wake her up and started demanding for sex.

She confided to the family source that the sexual predator confessed being on hard drugs, which he said, stirred his sexual urge. But luckily for her that day, she started screaming for help, which prompted the sexual pervert to run away from her apartment.

Speaking to DDM, the source said: “Success called me in March of this year, telling me how a male neighbour sneaked into her apartment while she was sleeping and started demanding for sex. The suspect told Success that he took some hard drugs that triggered his sexual urge and he needed someone to quench it. It was at this point that she started screaming for help. Her shout for help, forced the sexual predator to flee from her apartment.

“After the suspect left her apartment, he later approached Success and started apologizing, begging her not to tell anyone what happened the night he sneaked into her apartment”.

Meanwhile, when Diaspora Digital Media asked the family source if the matter was ever reported to the police, he said: “After Success narrated what happened, I pleaded with her to allow me to confront the suspect or report the matter to the police, but she told me not to. I don’t know if she was afraid of her live. I also asked her if she reported the incident to her friends in her work place, she told me yes. I finally told her not to fail to reach out to me in case the harassment persist. Little did I know that the ugly incident continued and she kept it away from me until she was finally killed by the suspect”.

How Success was killed on the 4th of November.

Success Ugo Anosike, according to the family source, was killed on the 4th of November, 2025.

“Some friends I spoke with told me that Success had earlier informed them that she was having a prayer on Monday midnight with the family. I usually call her everyday after closing from work. But that Monday night, I saw her online, so I did not bother much to call her believing that she was ok.

“On Tuesday morning, when I was going to work, I crossed her shop and discovered that it was locked. I was kind of worried because it was quite unusual for her shop to be under lock and key by that time of the day.

“Though, I shrugged it off and continued with my journey. It was later in the evening when I came back from work, I was discussing with some friends in the neighborhood and they asked me if I have heard about the young woman that was raped and killed in her apartment.

“I asked them where, and they immediately pointed at the compound where late Success lives. To my surprise, her name was mentioned as the victim. It was when I became cold. The last time I spoke to her was on Sunday. The both of us went to church together”, the source added.

A male and female suspects masterminded the killing of Success.

Two suspects who masterminded the killing of Success Ugo Anosike, are currently in the police net. They are known drug addicts.

One male suspect (whose name this medium could not independently verify) and one Chioma Demeon, who happens to be the daughter of the man who owns the property where Success lives.

The duo according to the source, were heavily involved in hard drugs.

Success was killed out of jealousy.

The family source told Diaspora Digital Media that Success was killed by the two suspects out of jealousy.

“Yes, she was hated because of her religious belief and moral disposition. Success was a lady that lived a decent life.

“She was not involved in the live of extreme indulgence. Success never looked for trouble. So, these two suspects hated her for it and was looking for every slightest opportunity to attack her”, the source added.

How the two suspects were arrested by Oyigbo area command police.

The source also told this paper that when police from area command in Oyigbo Local Government area, came to evacuate the body of the victim, the male suspect immediately took to his heels, but Chioma Demeon was taken into custody as she could not give any satisfactory explanation about her whereabout when Success was sexually attacked and killed considering the fact that she is the next door neighbour to the victim.

“Chioma is the next door neighbour to the victim. She could not give satisfactory explanation about her whereabout the night the victim was killed.

“The mother of the male suspect was later arrested. Her arrest forced the suspect to surrender to the police.

“During interrogation, he confessed to the police that he killed the victim after she was raped.

“He said it was Chioma that encouraged him to kill the victim. The suspect told the police that after Success was sexually assaulted, they left but later came back to kill her fearing that she recognised them.

“When they were asked if the victim offended them in any way, they said no.”

(DDM) – The 72nd birthday celebration of His Grace, Most Rev. Valerian Maduka Okeke, Archbishop of Onitsha and Metropolitan, has turned into a moment of moral and political reflection in Anambra State, drawing praise, emotion, and renewed calls for values-based leadership.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the felicitation message from John Chuma Nwosu (JCN), the African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial candidate, has gone viral online after he described Archbishop Okeke as “a moral compass whose life defines true leadership rooted in faith, compassion, and integrity.”

In his statement, Nwosu said Archbishop Okeke’s unwavering devotion to God and humanity remains one of the greatest examples of service in Nigeria today.

He noted that the Archbishop’s humility, guidance, and wisdom have not only inspired the Catholic faithful but also provided direction for political and community leaders seeking to build a more just and progressive society.

According to Nwosu, Archbishop Okeke’s leadership symbolizes the kind of moral rebirth Anambra needs, a leadership anchored in compassion, faith, and integrity rather than greed and division.

“The life of His Grace continues to stand as a shining example of the kind of selfless leadership our people deserve,” Nwosu said.

“It is this same spirit of humility and faith that inspires my commitment to serve under the African Democratic Congress, to build a better future for our state.”

DDM reports that Archbishop Valerian Maduka Okeke, who became the Metropolitan Archbishop of Onitsha in 2003, has been widely celebrated across the Catholic community for his discipline, pastoral outreach, and human development initiatives.

His projects include the Onitsha Archdiocesan Hospital expansion, the evangelization and education programs that have produced some of Nigeria’s top young clergy, and his continuous advocacy for peace and moral renewal.

Observers note that Nwosu’s message goes beyond birthday greetings, it serves as a subtle political statement, blending spiritual reverence with a call for moral reform in Anambra’s leadership culture.

Political analysts say the ADC candidate’s tone reflects a growing trend among young Nigerian politicians who seek to align governance with ethics and spirituality, contrasting sharply with the corruption and impunity that have long plagued the political space.

Across Anambra, the Archbishop’s birthday has sparked conversations about leadership standards, with residents on social media commending both Okeke’s exemplary service and Nwosu’s message of respect and reform.

As birthday tributes continue to pour in, the event has become more than a clerical celebration, it has evolved into a symbolic call for moral rebirth, accountable leadership, and the rediscovery of values that unite faith and governance.

(DDM) – The Nigerian Senate officially resumed plenary on Tuesday after a 10-week recess, marking the beginning of a new legislative session at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the session was presided over by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, following the absence of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who was noticeably missing at the time the sitting commenced.

The absence of Akpabio, who has often been the focal point of both praise and criticism in the 10th Senate, sparked discussions among observers about internal political realignments within the upper chamber.

Some insiders suggested that the Senate President may have stayed away for official engagements, while others believe his absence was strategic, given recent political undercurrents between the executive and legislature.

A major highlight of Tuesday’s plenary was the return of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, who made a dramatic comeback to the Red Chamber six months after her suspension.

Her reappearance drew significant attention from colleagues, aides, and journalists in attendance. Many described her return as “symbolic” and “defiant,” especially given her reputation for confronting corruption and advocating for transparency in public projects.

Senator Natasha’s earlier suspension, which occurred in April 2025, followed a heated altercation during a plenary debate over alleged irregularities in federal constituency project allocations.

The Senate leadership had accused her of making “unsubstantiated remarks” against the Appropriation Committee, an allegation she consistently denied.

Her suspension triggered public outrage, with several civil society groups and women’s advocacy organizations calling for her immediate reinstatement, arguing that the action was politically motivated and a reflection of the systemic suppression of outspoken female lawmakers in Nigeria.

Her reinstatement, DDM learned, was facilitated after intense pressure from the public and several senior legislators who reportedly appealed to the leadership of the National Assembly to reconsider her case in the spirit of justice and inclusivity.

During her return to plenary, Natasha was seen exchanging pleasantries with fellow lawmakers, while her supporters in the public gallery applauded her re-entry into the chamber.

A legislative source told DDM that her comeback could reshape internal power dynamics in the Senate, particularly among reform-minded legislators pushing for greater oversight and independence from the executive arm of government.

The session, which marked the end of the lawmakers’ long recess, also saw the presentation of new motions and bills aimed at addressing key national challenges such as insecurity, rising inflation, power sector reforms, and the implementation of the 2025 budget.

Senators reportedly discussed the need for improved collaboration between the legislative and executive branches, with some emphasizing the importance of oversight to ensure accountability in public spending.

Observers noted that the atmosphere in the chamber was lively and marked by renewed enthusiasm, as senators settled down to resume full-scale legislative duties.

Political analysts told DDM that the 10th Senate faces a critical period as it navigates public dissatisfaction over economic hardship, allegations of corruption, and concerns about governance effectiveness.

For Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, her return represents both a personal triumph and a political statement, reaffirming her resilience and determination to serve her constituency despite institutional pushback.

As plenary activities resume, Nigerians are watching closely to see whether the Senate will live up to expectations by passing impactful laws, ensuring executive accountability, and addressing the growing economic and social challenges confronting the nation.

With Senate President Akpabio’s absence still unexplained and political undercurrents intensifying within the chamber, the days ahead may reveal deeper realignments in Nigeria’s upper legislative house as it enters another defining phase of its tenure.
