Oloyede, formerly known as the Apetu of Ipetumodu in Osun State, Nigeria, pleaded guilty on April 24 to 13 counts of fraud.

The altercation, which reportedly began over a phone screen obstructing the view of the  escalated into a physical confrontation According to the young woman, she was quietly watching a video on her phone when the older woman asked her to lower it. Despite complying, the situation took another turn when the young woman began filming to document the event. At this point, the older woman allegedly assaulted her, tried to seize her phone, and even resorted to calling her an idiot.

  In a deeply shocking revelation, the manager of Century Home Hotel in Owhelogbo, Delta State, has confessed to the gruesome murder of 22-year-old Point-of-Sale (POS) operator, Onoriode Bethel. Her disappearance in December 2024 had left her family and the local community in anguish for months—until a breakthrough came in March 2025. According to Delta State Police spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, the suspect, identified as Iboirode, lured Bethel to the hotel under the guise of settling a financial dispute. Bethel had earlier accused Iboirode of stealing N10,000 from her through a fake bank alert. Although she managed to recover the money, the confrontation reportedly bruised Iboirode’s ego and he sought revenge in the most horrific way. Once inside the hotel, Bethel was murdered in cold blood. Iboirode then buried her body within the hotel premises in an attempt to cover up the crime. In a chilling turn of events, he used her phone to contact her father, demanding a ransom. He also...

In a heartfelt message shared on her official platforms, the award-winning actress and filmmaker revealed that she had every intention of attending the prestigious event but had to make a difficult decision due to a deeply personal family matter. “I know many people were expecting to see me at the AMVCA this year.

In a deeply emotional revelation, Lagos politician and Nollywood veteran Desmond Elliot has opened up about a harrowing moment during the 2020 EndSARS protest that nearly cost him his life. Speaking publicly about the traumatic experience, Elliot, 51, recalled how his office became the target of a violent attack as tensions in Lagos escalated during the historic youth-led demonstrations against police brutality. “I was almost burnt alive during the EndSARS protest,” he said. “A bottle of fuel with fire was thrown into my office with the intent to burn me alive.” Caught in what he described as the most terrifying moment of his life, Elliot quickly reached out to the Chief of Staff for urgent help. “I have never been so scared in my life. It was horrible,” he added, visibly shaken by the memory. The EndSARS movement, which began as a call to end police violence and impunity, swept through Nigeria and gained global attention.

In a world where success stories often begin with privilege, Gbemisola Taiwo’s journey is a refreshing and deeply inspiring reminder that grit, resilience, and faith can carry you through life’s most crushing disappointments. During her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year in Nigeria, Taiwo made a life-changing decision: she would save every single naira of her monthly allowance to pursue her dream of studying for a master’s degree in the United States. With laser focus, she went beyond just saving her allowance. She also set aside ₦200 monthly from her meager salary to ensure she reached her goal. By the end of the service year, she had saved ₦20,000 — a modest sum to some, but a massive accomplishment for her at the time. That money was carefully used to pay for graduate school application fees, transcripts, and other necessary documents. She poured her heart into the process, certain that her discipline and sacrifice would be rewarded. But when the time came to attend her visa i...

  Shock and outrage have gripped the community of Limbe following the brutal m*rder of Bali-born businessman, Ndingha Protus , whose life was tragically cut short by someone he trusted—his own quarry supervisor. On May 7, 2025, Protus, a well-known figure in the construction and real estate sectors, was lured to his death under the guise of a business opportunity. According to reports, his quarry supervisor, Abel , deceived him into believing that potential buyers were interested in one of his properties. Trusting his employee, Protus left home and accompanied Abel to the supposed site of the meeting. What awaited him, however, was not a business deal—but betrayal. Abel had hired four young men to ambush Protus, slit his throat , and bury his body deep in the bush . After hours of silence, Protus’ wife raised the alarm and reported him missing. Investigations quickly pointed to Abel, who was caught attempting to flee to Douala in Protus’ vehicle. Under interrogation, Abel conf...

  In a tale that sounds like a scene from a Nollywood drama, a Nigerian man has been left emotionally shattered and millions of naira poorer after a shocking betrayal by a woman he met on Facebook. According to a viral post shared by @SirDavidBent on X (formerly Twitter), the man had recently started dating the woman online and, eager to impress her, went above and beyond to show his commitment. As a grand gesture, he secured a luxury apartment for her in Ikoyi—one of Lagos’s most expensive neighborhoods. Not only did he pay two years' rent in advance, but he also fully furnished the apartment to suit her taste, sparing no expense in making it comfortable and stylish. But his romantic gesture took a cruel turn. Shortly after the woman moved into the apartment, the man discovered that her so-called “brother,” whom she had introduced casually, was in fact her real boyfriend—and the two were now living together in the home he paid for. To make matters worse, the woman reportedly conti...

 Thirteen years ago, I set out with a simple yet powerful dream—to build a world-class platform that would elevate African talent and give our artists a stage to shine globally. That dream was called Mavin. What started as a vision has grown into something truly special. Today, Mavin is more than just a record label—it’s a family, a movement, and a beacon of what’s possible when talent meets opportunity. This journey wouldn’t be possible without the incredible team that works tirelessly behind the scenes, the phenomenal artists who trust us with their gifts, our die-hard fans who’ve stood by us every step of the way, and our industry partners who’ve believed in the dream just as much as we have. As we celebrate 13 years of passion, growth, and unforgettable music, I’m reminded that the dream is still alive—and it’s only just beginning to evolve. Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to more milestones, more music, and more magic.

 

 In a heartwarming and emotional turn of events, a young boy who was kidnapped in Port Harcourt back in 2017 has finally reunited with his family—seven years later. The boy, now a teenager, was discovered in Ondo State after he courageously reported his abductor to the police. His brave decision led to his freedom and a long-awaited return to his real home. According to reports, the boy had been living with his abductor for years, completely unaware of his true identity and origin. Over time, he adapted to his new environment, even learning and speaking Yoruba fluently—so fluently, in fact, that he has forgotten his native language. His family, who had long given up hope of ever seeing him again, were filled with overwhelming joy and tears as they embraced their lost son. The reunion was a powerful moment that reminded many of the enduring strength of family bonds and the resilience of the human spirit. Though he now speaks a different language and has spent crucial formative years...

 In a shocking and troubling incident in Anambra State, an 18-year-old boy has reportedly impregnated at least ten girls, including his boss’s daughter and a salesgirl, just months after being sent to learn a trade. The story, which has stirred intense reactions online, was made public by the Anambra State Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare, Hon. Ify Obinabo. In a Facebook livestream, Obinabo expressed her deep concern and called on the public for guidance, admitting the situation was “beyond her capacity.” According to the commissioner, the young man was sent by his family to serve as an apprentice under a businessman. However, within three months of his arrival, he had already impregnated his boss's daughter as well as the shop’s salesgirl. This led to him being sent back to his village. But the situation only worsened. Within two months of returning to his hometown, the boy went on to impregnate eight more girls in the community, bringing the total to ten. Durin...

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has expressed deep concern over the rising number of deaths caused by hospitals refusing to treat gunshot victims who do not present a police report. This is a direct violation of the Gunshot Act 2017, which clearly mandates that all medical facilities in Nigeria—public or private—must provide immediate and adequate treatment to gunshot victims, with or without police clearance. The Act states: 1. Every hospital must accept and treat gunshot victims promptly, regardless of police involvement. 2. All individuals, including security agents, must assist victims in getting to the nearest hospital for emergency care. The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, is calling on all healthcare professionals to adhere strictly to this law. Immediate care can mean the difference between life and death, and refusal to treat is not only unethical but illegal. To support compliance, the Ministry is putting meas...

In a recent tweet, the EFCC labeled the circulating claims as false, clarifying that no formal charges have been filed against VDM at this time. This clarification comes amid growing speculation and misinformation online regarding VDM’s legal situation. As it stands, the EFCC has not issued any official statement confirming an indictment or scheduled court appearance.

Officers from the Houston Police Department discovered Elizabeth’s body on April 26 during a welfare check at her apartment. She was found in the kitchen with multiple stab wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. A man was also found in a bedroom with at least one stab wound and was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

 The family of  Tamilore Odunsi, a 23-year-old British student nurse from London, has raised over £40,000 to bring her home and give her the “peaceful and dignified farewell she deserves.” Known affectionately as Tami, Elizabeth was tragically stabbed to death in her Houston residence just days before her scheduled graduation. She had documented her journey as a student nurse on TikTok, where she shared insights into her studies and aspirations. Her sister, Georgina, described the loss as a “brutal murder” in a heartfelt tribute on a GoFundMe page, which was launched to raise funds for repatriation, funeral, and burial expenses. The Houston Police Department confirmed that Tami’s body was discovered on April 26, and homicide detectives have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

 The Catholic Diocese of Enugu is in deep mourning following a tragic auto accident that claimed the lives of four seminarians and left nine others critically injured, according to reports from ABN TV. The accident occurred near the Obudu Ranch Resort in Cross River State, involving a bus carrying members of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. The vehicle was reportedly marked with the inscription: “Catholic Diocese of Enugu – Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.” The seminarians were on a spiritual retreat when the crash occurred, turning what was meant to be a time of reflection and renewal into a devastating tragedy. As the Catholic community and the nation at large mourn this heartbreaking loss, prayers are being offered for the repose of the souls of the departed and for the swift recovery of the injured.

 Kenya’s President William Ruto was struck by a thrown shoe during a rally in Migori County on Sunday, May 4th, while addressing the nation’s growing concerns over the rising cost of living. The protest, captured in viral videos circulating online, showed Ruto deflecting the shoe with his arm and continuing his speech unshaken. The incident occurred as Ruto spoke about efforts to reduce fertilizer prices, asking the crowd, “We have said we are reducing the price of fertiliser, true or false?” just as the shoe bounced off him, kicking up a small cloud of dust. Public frustration has intensified in recent months over rising taxes and economic hardship. While Ruto has rolled back some proposed tax measures and even included opposition figures in his cabinet as a gesture of unity, these moves have done little to quell public anger. In response to the disruption, Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen confirmed that three individuals had been arrested, according to reports from The Star n...

 A warrant for VDM’s arrest was issued by the court on the morning of Wednesday, April 30th. It’s important to clarify that Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) had no involvement in this matter. Authorities were initially prepared to arrest him on Thursday, but their plans were delayed due to the public holiday. By Friday, law enforcement was still strategizing his apprehension, unsure of his location. Interestingly, VDM himself publicly announced his intention to visit a GTB branch on Thursday. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) then deployed teams to three major GTB branches, anticipating that he would choose a high-traffic location to create social media content. Their strategy proved successful when he appeared at one of the branches under surveillance. The key takeaway is this: GTB played no role in VDM’s arrest. If anyone is considering closing their GTB accounts, they should do so for personal reasons, not because of misinformation linking the bank to this incident. W...

 Abuja, Nigeria – May 4, 2025 — In a momentous turn in Nigeria’s Christian landscape, Bishop David Abioye, former Vice President of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), officially launched his new ministry, the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, on Sunday, May 4.

 Tech giant Meta Platforms Inc. has issued a warning that it may shut access to Facebook and Instagram in Nigeria, citing over $290 million in fines and what it describes as "unrealistic" regulatory demands from Nigerian authorities. The warning comes after the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission accused Meta and WhatsApp of multiple violations, including unauthorized data sharing, abuse of market dominance, and failure to respect consumer data rights. Meta claims that the mounting fines and enforcement actions are creating an environment that is "unsustainable" for its operations in the country. However, critics argue that Meta’s threat to exit Nigeria mirrors a strategic move to pressure regulators into backing down—especially as the company has complied with similar rulings in Europe, the U.S., South Korea, and India without resorting to exit threats. The FCCPC has responded firmly, stating tha...

 In response to Meta’s recent suggestion that it may exit Nigeria over regulatory actions, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has made it clear: leaving the country will not absolve the tech giant of its legal obligations. Meta Platforms Inc., along with its subsidiary WhatsApp (collectively referred to as "Meta Parties"), is currently under scrutiny for alleged violations of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). According to the FCCPC, an extensive investigation revealed that Meta had committed multiple and repeated infringements, including: Denying Nigerians control over their personal data Unauthorized transfer and sharing of user data Discriminatory practices against Nigerian users Abusing market dominance by enforcing unfair privacy policies The Commission noted that Meta has faced similar regulatory actions worldwide, including a $1.5 billion fine in Texas and a $1.3...

 A man who was arrested alongside Nigerian influencer VeryDarkMan has come forward with shocking details, claiming that they were picked up by men dressed in black who identified themselves as DSS (Department of State Services) operatives. According to him, the arrest occurred right outside the premises of GTBank, where VeryDarkMan had gone to address ongoing issues of unauthorized deductions from his mother’s account. > “We had just stepped out of GTBank when some men in black approached us. They said they were DSS officers but showed no IDs. Before we knew it, we were bundled into a vehicle and taken away.” He noted that the men did not present an arrest warrant and that the operation felt more like an abduction than a lawful arrest. The incident has raised serious questions about the involvement of GTBank, the use of security agencies, and the targeting of social critics.

 The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has reported a troubling spike in cholera cases, with 1,307 suspected infections and 34 deaths recorded across 16 weeks in 2025.

The agency has urged the public to prioritize hygiene, drink only safe water, and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting occur. Cholera, an acute diarrheal illness caused by ingesting contaminated food or water, remains a major public health concern in Nigeria, especially during the rainy s eason.

 A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to warn others about the risks of oral rental agreements, after receiving a quit notice just two months after spending ₦4 million to renovate a severely damaged apartment. In her emotional post, she wrote: > "I’m sharing my story to warn others about the dangers of oral agreements. I don’t even know where to start..." She explained that the apartment was in poor condition, and based on a verbal agreement with the landlord, she invested heavily in repairs—covering costs for plumbing, electricals, flooring, and painting. Despite her efforts and expenses, the landlord served her a quit notice without any compensation or formal explanation, highlighting the vulnerability tenants face when there’s no written contract. The story has sparked widespread reactions online, with many urging tenants to always insist on legally binding agreements to protect their rights.

 The Lagos High Court has sentenced Andrew Ominikoron, a former Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, to death by hanging for the rape and murder of 22-year-old fashion designer Bamise Ayanwola. Delivering the judgment on May 2, Justice Serifat Sonaike declared that the prosecution, led by the Lagos State Government, had proven the case beyond reasonable doubt. The incident occurred on February 26, 2022, along the Lekki-Ajah Conservation Expressway, where Bamise was last seen alive after boarding a BRT bus driven by the convict. He was charged with rape, conspiracy, and murder. In her ruling, the judge stated: > “For the death of Oluwabamise Ayanwola, you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy upon you.” The case had sparked national outrage and calls for better safety measures for commuters, especially women, in public transport systems.

 Popular Nigerian influencer VeryDarkMan has been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja after raising concerns about unauthorized deductions from his mother’s GTBank account. According to his lawyer, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, the arrest occurred at Area 3, Abuja, and was allegedly triggered by his public criticism of GTBank for repeated loan repayment deductions his mother never authorized. Before the arrest, VeryDarkMan had posted evidence on social media showing suspicious withdrawals and demanded transparency from the bank. He and his mother visited a GTBank branch to request a detailed account statement. He stated that over seven deductions had occurred in 2025 alone. Adeyanju criticized the arrest, stating it was simply for "speaking out" about the issue, raising concerns about freedom of expression and abuse of power.

 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made a significant breakthrough in the ongoing investigation of CBEX, the cryptocurrency platform accused of defrauding over 600,000 Nigerians of ₦1.2 trillion. According to EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, funds from the scam have been traced to at least four foreign countries, casting doubt on the possibility of full restitution for victims. Olukoyede revealed the update during an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television program. He confirmed that several accounts linked to the fraud have been frozen, and assets seized, but withheld the exact figures, citing operational confidentiality. > “We’ve been able to block and freeze a number of accounts containing reasonable sums.
