Akon Arrested In Georgia Over Suspended License

Wale busari02 mins

Akon was briefly jailed in Georgia after police arrested him on an outstanding warrant tied to a suspended driver’s license, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ. The situation began in September when the singer’s Tesla Cybertruck broke down in the middle of a Georgia roadway. Officers who arrived at the scene reported that Akon told them the vehicle’s battery had died. While waiting for a tow truck, one of the officers ran his details and discovered that his driver’s license had been suspended due to a failure to appear in court dating back to January 2023. Police cited Akon for driving with a suspended license and allowed him to leave the scene. The officer also noted finding an “illegal vape” in the vehicle’s center console, which was seized and destroyed. Last Thursday, Akon was arrested by the Chamblee Police Department on the warrant and booked into DeKalb County Jail. The “Locked Up” rapper was released about six hours later. Authorities have yet to confirm the exact nature of the warrant.

The Nigerian national team has resumed training, bringing an end to over 24 hours of uncertainty following a protest over unpaid allowances and bonuses. The standoff, which attracted international attention, prompted urgent intervention from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC). A meeting in Rabat between the players, NFF President Ibrahim Gusau, and NSC officials reportedly resolved the dispute. All 24 invited players—including Victor Osimhen, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, and captain William Troost-Ekong—are now back in camp and available for selection. The team’s focus has shifted to tactical preparations for Thursday’s semi-final against Gabon in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Africa Play-off Tournament, while Cameroon and DR Congo contest the other semi-final. The resolution comes as a major relief for head coach Eric Chelle, whose preparations had been interrupted by the standoff, allowing Nigeria to concentrate on its push to return to the World Cup after missing out in 2022.

The directive, effective Wednesday, November 12, 2025, was communicated through an internal memo signed by AGIS management and circulated to affected staff.

Senate Approves ₦1.15 Trillion Loan For President Tinubu To Cover 2025 Budget

Wale busari02 mins

The Nigerian Senate has approved President Bola Tinubu’s request to borrow ₦1.15 trillion from the domestic debt market to cover a shortfall in the 2025 budget. The approval came on Wednesday after lawmakers adopted the report of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debt during plenary. The committee noted that the 2025 Appropriation Act set total government spending at ₦59.99 trillion, exceeding the initial executive proposal of ₦54.74 trillion by ₦5.25 trillion. This created a budget deficit of ₦14.10 trillion. With ₦12.95 trillion already approved for borrowing, the new loan will fill the remaining ₦1.15 trillion gap. Senators also backed a motion by Senator Abdul Ningi, urging the Appropriations Committee to enhance oversight and ensure the borrowed funds are used solely for the projects and programmes outlined in the 2025 fiscal plan. President Tinubu had written to the National Assembly on November 4, explaining that the funds were needed to bridge the financing gap and support the execution of key government initiatives.

Wale busari03 mins

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arraigned 27-year-old Innocent Chukwuemeka Onukwume on a six-count charge for allegedly calling for a military coup in Nigeria. The charges, filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja under case number FHC/ABJ/CR/610/2025, allege that Onukwume, a resident of Umusayo Layout, Oyigbo LGA, Rivers State, committed the offences in October 2025. Filed on November 11 by DSS lawyer A. M. Danalami, the charge states that Onukwume’s actions contravened Sections 46 A(1) and 59(1) of the Criminal Code Act, as well as provisions of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2024 (as amended). He is expected to be formally arraigned before the end of the week. According to the DSS, some of the allegations include: Posting a message on his verified X account (@theagroman) calling for a coup, saying: “A coup in Nigeria is needed. Dispose of APC, suspend the Nigeria government and join the AES. That is all we need now,” an act alleged to have caused public fear and alarm, contrary to Section 59(1) of the Criminal Code Act. Publishing statements on social media claiming that only the military could “reset the country” and accusing the government of selling the nation to foreign powers, in violation of Section 24(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes Act. Posting derogatory messages targeting the President and the APC, including: “Tinubu has to go and APC has to die for Nigeria to have any semblance of normal life. And if you think your stupid votes can remove Tinubu, I’m here to tell you that you’re a fool,” also cited under Section 24(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes Act. The DSS alleges that all posts were made with the intent to cause annoyance, fear, obstruction, or needless anxiety against the Nigerian government. The case has drawn attention to issues of social media conduct, national security, and cybercrime legislation.
