Police Start Probe Of Woman Offering Baby Action Bitters In Viral Video

July 8, 2025July 8, 2025 admin

The disturbing act of feeding a baby alcoholic drink by a woman as shown in a viral video has prompted the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to launched an investigation into the matter.

The footage, shared on X, formerly Twitter, by content creator Chuks Eric on Sunday, captures the unidentified woman holding a baby girl and pouring a sachet of Action Bitters, a popular alcoholic herbal drink, into the child’s mouth.

Reads a cutline overlaid on the video: “Every night just for her to sleep”, suggests that the woman regularly gives the baby alcohol to induce sleep.

However, it remains unclear whether the child is her biological daughter.

In a statement released on Monday via X, the NPF condemned the act as “distressing” and emphasised that exposing a child to alcohol was both “illegal and dangerous”.

The police also called on the public for assistance, urging Chuks Eric and anyone with useful information to come forward.

Said the Force in the statement: “We are aware of this distressing video and are investigating urgently. Exposing a child to alcohol is illegal and dangerous.

“We urge @ChuksEricE and any member of the public with valuable information that could lead to the swift apprehension of this “mother” to not hesitate to provide same.

“They can reach out to us on 09169967000. The child’s safety is our priority”.

My Senatorial Ticket Won’t Be Surrendered To Anyone – Uzodinma

Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State. Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, Sunday rejected suggestions that he could lose the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial ticket. He made this known after attending Mass at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, the Imo State capital. Said Uzodinma: “If they tell you that I will hold this ticket and somebody will collect it and give it to another, tell the person it is a lie”. The Governor also urged residents to campaign for the APC, declaring that his political camp would not support any other party in the forth-coming elections. Stated he: “Go and campaign for the party, our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). There is no other political party we are going with”. Uzodimma also identified the APC candidates he wants residents to support in the forthcoming legislative elections. Said he: “For House of Assembly, it is APC. For House of Representatives, it is APC”. He named Patrick Ndubueze as the party’s candidate for the Senate in Okigwe zone. Noted he: “For Senate, your Senator in Okigwe zone is Patrick Ndubueze, in Orlu zone it is my humble self (Hope Uzodimma), and in Owerri zone it is (Alex) Mbata”. The Governor’s remarks came days after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delist him as the APC candidate for Imo west senatorial district and replace same with Rochas Okorocha, ex-Governor of the State. Obiora Egwuatu, the presiding judge, held that Okorocha secured majority of votes in the APC primary conducted on May 18. The judge faulted INEC for accepting Uzodimma’s nomination despite what he described as “overwhelming documentary evidence that the Governor did not win the primary”. Okorocha, who governed Imo State from 2011 to 2019, had filed a suit in August challenging INEC’s recognition of Uzodimma as the APC candidate. Reacting to the judgment, Okorocha described the ruling as a victory for Imo west residents, thanking President Bola Tinubu, and claimed that the Presidency was no longer supportive of the situation in Imo State. He also commended the judiciary, saying the ruling showed that “justice is no longer for sale to the highest bidder”. ...

Tinubu’s Ibom Deep Sea Port Promise Deceitful Campaign…‘How Many Approvals?’ — NDC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) proposed deep seaport project in Akwa-Ibom State is nothing but a means to exploit political gain, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has claimed. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday, approved the seaport project after Umo Eno, the State governor, asked the Federal Government to deliver the facility. Tinubu announced the approval during the APC presidential rally at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, the State capital. In a statement issued on Sunday, Osa Director, NDC National Publicity Secretary, described Tinubu’s promise to deliver the project as another attempt to deceive voters. Director said the Federal Executive Council (FEC), under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, approved the first phase of the deep seaport project in December 2020. The NDC spokesperson said Tinubu also promised to deliver the project during the 2023 electioneering. Asked Director: “What a hocus-pocus, what hogwash, and what bare-faced lies and shenanigans of a rudderless party! How many times will the APC approve the Ibom Deep Sea Port? “Unfortunately, as is characteristic of the APC, they never fulfilled the promise. Over three years down the line, President Tinubu on Friday, 6 November 2026, had to promise again to construct the long-awaited Ibom Deep Sea Port project in Akwa-Ibom State. “Obviously, this is another round of cheap promises that will not be kept or honoured. Just as before, so it will be now — empty promises. All talk and no action. “As Nigerians are still waiting for the APC and President Tinubu to give us uninterrupted electricity supply, so Akwa-Ibomites are waiting endlessly for the promised deep sea port that has become a campaign tool of deceit”. Director asked Nigerians to “dump the APC into the abyss of socio-political irrelevance” in 2027.
