Despite the rumored rescue of some of her coworkers, Walter Emeribe, the husband of Mrs. Chinwe of the Federal Ministry of Defence, claims he has not heard from her.
Emeribe claimed in an interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday that he took her to a park in Festac, Lagos, and stayed there until the bus left for Abuja on November 9, 2025.

He claimed he had not spoken to his wife in about two months and that he had last spoken to her when the 14-seater bus traveled to Akure, Ondo State.
“I called again around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. She emitted no information to me. It would ring each time I called, but there was no response. I continued until midnight, then. I called every second until midnight, but I didn’t go to sleep.
I called, “So it’s getting to 6 a. m. on Monday,” I said. I became somewhat afraid because I didn’t hear anything. “Emeribe stated, “I became jittery.
He added that after being unable to reach her for several hours, he became agitated, and that the bus company informed him that she and other bus passengers had been abducted in Kabba.
According to what we heard in the news, they were abducted when they arrived in Kabba on the Lokoja Highway. And my wife hasn’t gotten a word from us since then. She is speaking nowhere near me. No one called me, and I have not seen her.
Emeribe said when questioned about the release of some of the victims, “I heard it on the news that two television stations mentioned that they had been released,” and that the six Ministry of Defence directors who were en route to Abuja for a promotion exam had been abducted and had now reunited with their families.
“I was not happy when I had this,” I thought. I had a bad feeling. Why did the association of senior civil servants of the Ministry of Defense release this information, I asked.
“And their president, Mr. Mohammed Shehu, by name, made this statement. So that was not what I wanted. Where is my wife and Mrs. Juliana Onwuzurike’s other woman, if they have released them?
“Six of the people I knew were already released, and that’s when I started to inquire about their release, and where are my wife and the other family as well?”
“So we are told at the end that four people were released, and these four people are nowhere to be seen … and why our wives were not included in those who were released,” we are told.
Government Appeal
Emeribe then requested that the ministry inform him of where his wife was hiding.
Because my wife was assigned to an official assignment, the Ministry of Defense has not yet released these four men, and they have all been released, I am actually asking them to tell me where she is.
So I want them to inform me of my wife’s location. They should tell me whether she is alive or dead. Otherwise, he said, “I don’t know what to do.”
So they should search for my wife whether she is alive or dead, as I said. They haven’t taken any proactive steps in the past.
“So all I want from them is for them to come out and find a way to see my wife wherever she is, along with Mrs. Juliana Onwuzurike, the two of them who are nowhere to be seen. They ought to reach out to the transportation company that transported these women to Abuja, he continued.
On their way to Abuja for a promotional exam to the directorate cadre, Mrs. Chinwe and five other Federal Ministry of Defense staff members were abducted in Kabba, Kogi State.

Kate responded to Jamie’s question, “No, of course not,” when she asked the Celebrity Traitors star if she’d ever used a dating app. Because everyone keeps asking me about dating, I don’t believe I’ve ever dated in the same way that you guys do.
“I don’t like it when you go to meet someone you’ve never met,” I think. I just end up doing an interview with them while struggling to find a word in their introductory sentences.
She said, “I’m of the old school where you lived your life, did things you loved, and then met people along the way.” But perhaps that won’t continue to happen.
In October, OK! reported that some of Kate’s friends were actively encouraging her to at least explore the possibility of dating someone new.

Imran Khan, 73, was detained by his family for almost a month, according to his 73-year-old former prime minister, Imran Khan, who has been in jail. This has sparked protests and concerns about his health.
However, after his sister, Uzma Khanum, finally came to visit him on Tuesday this week at Adiala jail, the central jail in Rawalpindi, close to Islamabad, she claimed Khan’s health appeared to be good.
She continued, noting that his conditions are poor and that his imprisonment has been characterized as “mental torture.”
Khan has been found guilty of corruption charges and is currently serving protracted prison terms.
Bushra Bibi, Khan’s wife, is also serving a seven-year term in prison for accepting land bribes in the al-Qadir Trust case. All of the allegations made against them have been refuted by Khan and Bibi.
What we know about the reasons behind blocked visits to Khan are as follows.
Khan is in jail, why?
Khan, who was Pakistan’s prime minister from 2018 to 2022, has been incarcerated since being arrested in August of this year on corruption charges. Following a number of legal cases, including:
A trust called al-Qadir, which was established in 2018, was accused of paying a real estate developer a bribe of 7 billion rupees ($25.12 million) as a bribe in exchange for illegal favors. After being found guilty, Khan received a 14-year prison sentence from the Islamabad accountability court, and Bibi received a seven-year prison sentence.
Toshakhana case: In August 2023, Khan was detained and later found guilty of selling state gifts valued at more than 140 million Pakistani rupees ($497, 000) that he allegedly received while serving as prime minister. He received a 14-year prison sentence.
Anti-terror charges: Following Khan’s arrest in May 2023, his supporters erupted frequently violent demonstrations all over Pakistan. In addition to the protests, Khan is currently facing anti-terrorism charges. In a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court in December 2024, he entered a not-guilty plea. He has not yet been put on trial.
Cypher case: Khan was accused of disclosing a classified cable that Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington had sent to Islamabad in 2022. In October 2023, he and senior PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi were charged. A special court, which was established under the Official Secrets Act, found Khan and Qureshi guilty, and were found guilty in January 2024. Qureshi and Khan each received a 10-year prison sentence.
Iddat case: After her divorce from her previous husband, Khan and his wife were accused of getting married before his wife was required to wait. In July, they were found not guilty.
Khan contends that all of the allegations against him are politically motivated.
What was Uzma Khanum’s opinion of her visit to Khan?
Khanum, a doctor, informed reporters in Rawalpindi that her brother is restricted to his cell for the majority of the day and is only permitted to go outside for a brief period of time following her visit on Tuesday.
He is well-weight physically. However, he is constantly confined inside and only leaves for short periods. No one is in contact with them. He claimed that they were treating him with mental torture and was very angry.
She continued, noting that no mobile devices were permitted during the 30-minute meeting with Khan.
She later told the media that when she met him, he was very disturbed and enraged, along with her sister Aleema Khanum and the party’s leaders in Pakistan. He claimed that they are putting him and Bushra Bibi through mental torture in a small room and that they are preventing them from meeting for four weeks. He claimed that this mental torture was even worse than physical torture.
Has Khan’s use of a formal blockade been authorized?
The authorities in Pakistan have not established whether or not there is a legal ban on visits to Khan or what might cause it.
Following allegations that Khan’s family and PTI leaders had been prevented from seeing him despite court orders, his sister and his sister were scheduled for a Tuesday meeting.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a directive to the Adiala jail superintendent in late October of this year to implement a directive from the court that allowed Khan to meet with designated visitors on Tuesday and Thursday of every week.
However, family members claim that these visits were never permitted. In response, Khan’s supporters began to spread rumors that he was either being treated for cancer or being transferred to another jail. Khan’s death was the subject of some speculation.
What steps have his supporters and family taken?
Khan’s imprisonment has drawn the opposition of his sisters and supporters for a long time. On November 18, they physically protested the restricted access outside the Adiala jail.
They added that their demonstration was in solidarity with the families of PTI members killed in earlier popular demonstrations calling for Khan’s release from prison on May 9, 2023, October 4, 2024, and November 26, 2024.
The sisters of Khan claimed on November 18 that they had been “violently detained” and “manhandled” while camping outside the Adiala jail.
Aleema said, “Who knows, maybe Imran has been shifted. ” In a second protest outside the jail on November 25, which was livestreamed on the PTI YouTube channel. Why won’t they let us meet him?
Then, on November 28, PTI member and chief minister of Pakistan’s northwestern province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, staged a live-streamed sit-in outside the Adiala jail, alleging eight times he had been denied access to Khan.
Peshawar, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that has been a PTI stronghold since 2013 when the party first established a provincial government there, also saw protests calling for Khan’s release.
As protests continued outside the Adiala jail on Tuesday, Khan and his sister finally met.
Then, on Tuesday, local authorities passed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which forbids district governments from assembling four or more people in public spaces for a limited time until Wednesday this week in Rawalpindi. This includes the two-month period in Islamabad, which runs until Wednesday.
What has the government stated?
The government hasn’t explicitly stated why access to Khan has been impeded or provided any justification for this.
On November 28, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, a politician from Shehbaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N), told the National Assembly that the rumor about Khan’s health had been spread by the Indian and Afghan media.
According to Chaudhry, “His health is in good hands and there is no danger to his life.”
Imran Khan, the former Pakistani prime minister and leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, is gathered near Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, on December 2, 2025.
Why has Pakistan’s political climate been sparked by Khan’s jail visits?
According to some experts, the government of Pakistan’s PML-N may use a political strategy to prevent visits to Khan in jail.
Political analyst Imtiaz Gul, executive director of the Islamabad-based think tank Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), claimed that “the primary objective of blocking access and keeping Khan in solitary confinement is apparently meant to break him into] agreeing to] a compromise and neutralize the groundswell of antigovernment sentiment.
Politicians are either in the government or in jail, according to Usama Khilji, a Pakistani columnist and director of Bolo Bhi, a digital rights advocacy organization. Imran Khan is currently a victim of politically motivated cases where the judiciary’s increasingly controlled approach undermines due process.
Numerous party leaders have been detained, and Khan’s PTI has been denied the right to participate in the 2024 national elections. More seats were won by party members than any other candidate during the election campaign.
However, the PTI claimed that the election was rigged by the military and the government to prevent them from getting any more seats, and independent observers also cited a number of vote-counting irregularities. The accusations of election manipulation have been consistently refuted by the military and the government.
His political party’s protests have been met with violent counterreaction and the virulent outlaw of any kind of demonstrations, according to Khilji, who is the most well-known politician in Pakistan right now.
As they dispatched civilian envoys to a body that monitors their rocky 2024 truce, Israel and Lebanon will have their first direct diplomatic discussions in a decade.
Lebanon, which does not recognize Israel, made the announcement on Wednesday that a civilian would lead the delegation there for the first time. Additionally, Israel stated that it is assembling a delegation and sending a diplomat.

A military committee that oversees the 2024 truce between the nations will meet there, but no further details have been provided as to the time and location of the meeting. However, it is anticipated that the move will prompt further expansion of the talks between the long-standing adversaries.
President Joseph Aoun’s office stated in a statement that the Lebanese decision was a response to a long-standing request from the United States and that it was made after Lebanon was “informed that Israel agreed to include a non-military member in its delegation.”
Lebanon will send former US ambassador Simon Karam to the discussions.
Israel’s acting acting director of the National Security Council, Gil Reich, has for its part appointed a representative for the meeting, which is located close to the United Nations-delineated Blue Line, which marks the two countries’ unofficial border.
Uri Resnick of the National Security Council was chosen by Israel’s Arutz Sheva media.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “This is an initial attempt to lay the groundwork for a relationship and economic cooperation between Israel and Lebanon.”
Very divisive
According to Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr from Beirut, the meeting is a “significant” step for Lebanon, which has been pressed by the US to “engage in direct talks with Israel.”
She said, “This is a very contentious and sensitive issue in Lebanon, where many people view Israel as the enemy.” The Lebanese government views sending a civilian to the meeting as a concession.
Aoun has stated in recent months that he is willing to engage in negotiations to reach a more effective truce than the one reached in November 2024.
Despite the truce, Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon, killing more than 300 people, including at least 127 civilians, in accordance with the UN.
Israel claims that in order to prevent Hezbollah from regaining its military might, it is pursuing Hezbollah members and infrastructure.
Israel’s strikes come as Washington presses Lebanon’s government to fulfill its year-end commitment to disarm Hezbollah .
As part of Netflix’s new docuseries, two jurors from the highly public Diddy trial have described their time-consuming search through weeks of graphic testimonies.

The high profile case of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had people all over the world hooked – and now the jurors from the courthouse have spoken out.
Combs was found guilty of two transportation-related prostitution counts involving his ex-girlfriends in the complex trial. However, he was freed from the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, which resulted in a split verdict for the 56-year-old.
Speaking in the new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning released December 2, two of the jurors who helped reach the verdict have shared their thoughts.

My words were exactly “Oh s—” when we were in the deliberation room and we’ve come to an agreement and we’re only saying that he’s guilty for these two counts, according to Juror 160 in the documentary.
When asked if they thought justice had been served, another another juror, who was identified only as Juror 75, said he “100 percent” thought so. “We saw both sides of it and we came with our conclusions,” as reported by Complex.
The jury members are also interrogated about Diddy and Cassie’s relationship in the documentary because Cassie testified against the rapper at the trial. It was described as a “very, very interesting relationship,” according to Jupiter 75.
“It’s two people falling in love,” the statement read. They are, in some ways, overly loved. You are unable to explain. She desired to spend time with him. He assumed no responsibility for her. He never anticipated that she would depart. It’s like having both hands clap together, then. You can’t use just one hand to clap. When you use both hands in this manner, you create noise, they said.
Juror 75 referred to the CCTV hotel footage of Cassie being assaulted as “unforgivable” and said he “can’t beat that small girl like that, the way he did.”
However, continued to say that domestic violence had not been officially investigated and that it wasn’t a crime, adding that “you can say he was a terrible person, but domestic violence wasn’t one of the charges.”
According to The Mirror US, jury selection was particularly difficult, since everyone asked was at least a bit familiar with the Diddy case, considering it’s been dominating pop culture headlines. As a result, they looked for other indications that the individuals could be impartial.
Prior to the procedure, respondents were asked to provide demographic information and fill out a questionnaire. Additionally, they were interrogated about more personal details, such as sexual assault.
As part of the trial process, the selected jurors had to sift through seven weeks of sometimes graphic and emotional testimony about the musician. As the deliberations were underway, things took an unexpected turn when two notes were handed over to the presiding judge from the jury.
A juror’s initial inquiry into the judge’s lengthy 61-page instructions was revealed in the first note just before the hearing began. The instructions’ section on drug distribution, which is a crucial component of Combs’ racketeering conspiracy charge, were later sought further explanation in the second note.

One particular juror (Juror No. 10) also raised some questions to the jurors. The jury was instructed to continue deliberating on the deadlocked racketeering charge by the judge, reminding them not to give up their sincere opinions in order to settle the case unanimously.
