A Nigerian youth social worker for Wood’s Homes in the area of Marda Loop-Bankview in Calgary-Alberta in Canada was killed early this morning Friday October 25th, 2019 while she was on the job caring for a man, police say,
Deborah Onwu, 47, of Calgary, was identified by police as the woman stabbed in the 1800 block of 27th Avenue S.W. around 2:45 a.m. Police say an 18-year-old at the assisted living facility is in custody and was arrested around 5 a.m. this morning.
Onwu was a youth social worker with Calgary’s Wood’s Homes, a children’s mental health centre that provides treatment to children, youth and families.
“Everyone at Wood’s Homes is deeply impacted by this recent tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all involved including the victim’s family and our many staff,” said Wood’s Homes spokesperson Sylvia MacIver.
“Debbie was a well-liked and well-respected colleague. She was hard working and devoted to a career of helping. There are no words to describe the sadness our work family is feeling today.”
When police arrived on scene, efforts were immediately provided to Onwu, but she later succumbed to her injuries. While an initial search of the residence didn’t turn up the suspect, one person was located and arrested downtown around 5 a.m.
Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta says the 18-year-old had been living at the facility for several weeks.
“She was providing assisted living care to the suspect,” Schiavetta said Friday afternoon. “This was her place of employment. The investigation is still ongoing. If appropriate, we will be in consultation with the Crown prosecutors office.”
Wood’s Homes say they’re working with the Calgary police and occupational health and safety during this investigation as well as providing counselling support for all those affected in their organization, MacIver said.
Because the death happened at a workplace, Alberta Occupational Health and Safety is also investigating.
The suspect remains in custody but cannot be named until formal charges are laid.
Information from neighbours initially suggested the home was associated with the Seven Steps recovery program, however, this is not believed to be the case.
If deemed a homicide, it would be Calgary’s 16th of 2019. Please reach out to her family members and friends.

Valentine Rachael Oparacha Slumped and Died, returns to life after hours of prayers and weeping by some Students of her school.
It would have been a black Sunday in Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), as a 200 Level Student of the institution identified as Valentine Rachael Oparacha from Department of Biochemistry slumped and passed out.
According to eyewitness ‘Chiamaka Obumma’, who is currently the institution’s Governor for hostel C, she wrote;
“God performed a miracle in FUTO on Sunday evening as a student slumped and was gasping for breath until she stopped breathing, and then came back to life.
Valentine Rachael Oparacha, a 200 level student in the Biochemistry Department, finished doing her laundry. All of a sudden, she slumped and began to lose her breath gradually until she stopped breathing. Girls in the hostel rushed out. There was so much pandemonium as Hostel C was overcrowded with girls. They tried carrying her but she was too big and heavy. They began looking for boys to come help in carrying her to FUTO Medicals. Finally, they got people who carried her to FUTO Medicals. Then, tragedy struck!
When they got to FUTO Medical Centre, the doctor and nurses were confused because already in coma and she wasn’t breathing. Her body was so cold to the point that they couldn’t find any vein to place her on drip. The doctor began to hit her left chest severally until her heart started beating again.
Three days before the unfortunate event, she had a revelation. She told her friend to pray against death not knowing it was meant for her. So on Sunday when she passed out, she said she found her soul in a dark place in the midst of dead people.
She was already in the underworld in Hades until someone said to her: “Go back!” Then she woke up from coma. This is a miracle. God sent her back to warn people about the Judgment Day.”
When the real history of the country is written the role of General Yakubu Gowon and the other Nigerian commanders during the civil war will be put in proper perspective. The slaughter of 3 million Biafran civilians in that war is the greatest act of black on black genocide in human history.
I cannot celebrate the birth of a man who presided over such carnage and neither can I describe him as a hero. Nigeria cannot make much progress or truly prosper until she apologises to the Igbo and Biafrans for the great evil that we visited upon them duing the civil war.
The waging of war is different to the mass murder of civilians. The former is lawful, the latter is not. War between two armies is legitimate but the targetting and slaughtering of innocent and defenceless men, women and children is a violation of international law and a crime against humanity.
Worse still such savagery and barbarity is simply unacceptable in a society or nation that lays claim to being rational, reasonable, decent, benign and civilised.
The truth is that those that were directly involved in the carnage have innocent blood on their hands and that blood cries to God in heaven for vengeance and justice.
We as a nation would do well to learn from others and muster the decency and courage to apologise and make reparations to the people of the South East for the abominable cruelty and wickedness that we visited on them in the name of the Nigerian civil war.

A man who is now in EFCC custody stupidly sued me. Immediately I got wind of his suit, I approached my friend to represent me in court.
While I was still talking with him, a billionaire associate of mine dropped me a WhatsApp message that he had engaged Mike Ozekhome to represent me.
As I was still on that call, one of Nigeria’s foremost men of God dropped me another WhatsApp message that he had engaged a top lawyer to defend me. At the end of the day, I didn’t need defending because I prayed and a week after I went on my knees to the Living God, the man who foolishly sued me was arrested by the EFCC and his case COLLAPSED.
What am I saying, if you fight for a just cause, you will not be abandoned when you are persecuted in court. If man does not come to your aid, God Himself will deliver you.
If you claim to be a leader and none of your people can put their money and name down for you, then you need to engage in some sober reflection!
Information reaching us that there was a fresh attack on Nigerians in South African. As of the time of filling this report, four Nigerians was attacked and badly injured.
We are appealing to all Nigerians in South African to please return home. Enough of killing by some fellow Africans who don’t have respect for life.
If the Federal, State and Local Government does not take the lead in compensating the survivors of the #OnitshaMarketFire, then I call on the church to take the lead. All of us, who call Christ our Lord, should do something, no matter how small, to show them the love of God.
#BBNaija people can’t have more love for each other than us. Read Scripture. When there was famine in Jerusalem, the church around the world contributed money to provide relief for them. That is the type of practical Christianity that pleases God our Father .
