2Baba And His Wife Clash in Fresh Video Before Separate Police Incident

A fresh wave of drama has trailed 2Baba and his wife Natasha Osawaru after a tense exchange between them surfaced online. The footage, taken inside a shop at a London airport on October 2, 2025, captures Natasha confronting him with the line: “Na everyday you go dey shout for me?” Another clip soon followed, this time showing police officers leading 2Baba away in handcuffs, which fueled even more speculation about what happened between the couple. Sources around the pair say the argument began when Natasha became uneasy over the attention a promoter was giving 2Baba. The situation reportedly escalated quickly, drawing public attention and prompting airport staff to intervene. Just days earlier, 2Baba had pushed back against claims that he’d been arrested at all, insisting he only missed his UK performance due to a medical emergency. Their marriage, sealed in July 2025, has been under steady public scrutiny, especially after reports emerged that they recently welcomed their first child. “You know I’m pregnant for you” – Nee Idibia heard screaming in the car in London after reported breaking bottle to cause injuries on Legend 2Baba in London before the arrival of police pic.twitter.com/ddovs58DXH — Metro Naija (@metronaija) December 1, 2025

Traditional Ruler, Ojibara of Bayagan, Six Others Escape From Bandits In Kwara State

The Ojibara of Bayagan in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Alhaji Kamilu Salami, and six other abductees have escaped from their captors, Vanguard reports. Sources from the community said the escape followed a daring attack by vigilantes who stormed the forest where the bandits were holding the victims. “The vigilante team confronted the bandits in a fierce battle around the Eku Idaji area, near Igbaja. While the monarch and the six others have not yet returned to Bayagan, they have contacted members of the community to confirm their escape,” a source said. The bandits had earlier demanded a ransom of N150 million for the monarch’s release. Vanguard had learned on Sunday morning that they contacted the community in the early hours to insist on the payment, requiring Oba Ojibara to prove he was in their custody. The monarch reportedly urged his community to negotiate for his release, explaining that he was transported on a motorcycle through dense forests for more than five hours before arriving at the bandits’ hideout. He also revealed that other people had been abducted from a nearby community during the attack. Bayagan is one of the largest communities in Ifelodun LGA. Oba Ojibara was kidnapped around 9:30 am on Saturday when armed bandits, reportedly carrying AK-47 rifles, stormed his farm.

Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas Holds First Meeting With President Tinubu Since Joining APC

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas is holding a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Kefas arrived at the State House around 2 pm on Monday, accompanied by APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and entered into a closed-door session with the President, a correspondent reported. This is Kefas’ first visit to the Presidency since he switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He had initially planned an APC welcome on November 19 but postponed it, describing the event as “insensitive” following the abduction of schoolgirls in Maga, Kebbi State. The governor’s defection comes amid broader political shifts in Taraba, with the state House Speaker and 15 lawmakers leaving the PDP for the APC, citing the need to “align with the centre” and dissatisfaction with the opposition party’s internal crises. Nationally, the APC has been reaching out to opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections, with officials suggesting more high-profile defections from PDP strongholds in the North and Middle Belt. Kefas, a retired Nigerian Army lieutenant colonel and former chairman of the board of NIMASA, won the March 2023 governorship election on the PDP platform. He hails from Wukari and previously served as Taraba PDP chairman before becoming the party’s governorship candidate.

Nigerian Embassy Grants Asylum To Guinea-Bissau Opposition Candidate After Military Coup

The Nigerian embassy in Guinea-Bissau has provided asylum to opposition presidential candidate Fernando Dias da Costa after threats were made against his life. This follows a military coup in the Portuguese-speaking West African nation last Wednesday, just days after the presidential elections. Both President Umaro Embaló and da Costa had declared victory ahead of the official results. Nigeria expressed serious concern over the coup and called for an immediate restoration of constitutional order. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it would work with partners to ensure a “swift return” to normalcy. In a letter dated November 30 to ECOWAS Commission President Omar Touray, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar confirmed that President Bola Tinubu had approved protection for da Costa at the Nigerian embassy. The letter also requested that the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ESSMGB) provide security for him while on embassy premises. Alkasim Abdulkadir, Tuggar’s special assistant on media and communications, verified the letter and said Nigeria’s decision reflects its sovereign duty and commitment to regional peace, stability, and democratic governance. “Acting to reduce tensions, Nigeria used its lawful discretion to prevent further unrest and promote social cohesion in Guinea-Bissau and across West Africa,” Abdulkadir said, emphasizing that the intervention aligns with ECOWAS principles and Nigeria’s role as a regional stabilizer. Following the coup, ECOWAS convened an emergency virtual summit of heads of state, suspending Guinea-Bissau from the bloc until constitutional order is fully restored.

Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has had his Facebook and Instagram accounts suspended by Meta, days after releasing a new politically charged single. The song, titled ‘Open Letter to Donald Trump’, was released on TikTok on November 29, 2025, through his label Lakreem Entertainment. While addressed to the former US president, the track mainly targets Nigeria’s political elite, criticizing leaders for enriching themselves while citizens face kidnappings, killings, and widespread insecurity. Abdulkareem also raps “dem dey fear Donald Trump,” using the song to draw global attention to Nigeria’s crises.

In April, he released ‘Tell Your Papa’, calling on Seyi Tinubu to raise awareness of Nigerians’ suffering with his father, a track that was later banned by the National Broadcasting Commission for allegedly violating broadcasting regulations. Abdulkareem has a history of controversial music. His 2004 hit ‘Jaga Jaga’ was banned by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo but became an underground anthem, cementing his reputation as a fearless voice against corruption and social injustice.

Cameroonian Opposition Leader Anicet Ekane Dies In Custody In Yaounde

Cameroonian opposition leader Anicet Ekane has died in detention in Yaounde, his party’s vice president confirmed on Monday. “Anicet Ekane passed away this morning in Yaounde, where he had been transferred after his arrest in Douala at the end of October,” Valentin Dongmo of the African Movement for the New Independence of Cameroon (Manidem) said. The cause of the 74-year-old’s death has not been confirmed. Ekane, a veteran left-wing nationalist, was arrested in Douala on October 24, just before the announcement of presidential election results that secured 92-year-old Paul Biya an eighth term. He was a close ally of opposition figure Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who had challenged Biya’s decades-long rule. Dongmo said Ekane’s health worsened while in custody at the State Defence Secretariat (SED) in Yaounde. “We repeatedly requested that he be transferred to a hospital with adequate medical care, but our appeals were ignored. Just yesterday, his supporters again called for a medical evacuation,” he added. Ekane and other opposition figures had been detained after publicly supporting Bakary’s claim of victory ahead of the official results. Manidem described the arrests as “arbitrary” and intended to intimidate citizens. Born in Douala in 1951, Ekane joined the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC) in 1973 before founding Manidem in 1995. He was previously arrested in 1990 as part of the Yondo Black group, tried by a military court, and later pardoned. Ekane led Manidem for several years and ran for president in 2004 and 2011. News of his death has sparked widespread reactions on social media.

Presidency Urges Nigerians to Report VIPs Flouting Tinubu’s Police Escort Withdrawal Order

The Presidency has called on Nigerians to help ensure compliance with President Bola Tinubu’s order withdrawing police escorts from certain VIPs. Daniel Bwala, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, made the appeal during a TVC interview on Sunday, urging citizens to document any violations of the directive. “If you come across a celebrity, business figure, or any private individual using police protection contrary to the President’s instruction, please record what you can, photo or video,” Bwala said. He explained that the policy does not remove security escorts from all government officials, emphasizing that some key public officers would still receive authorised protection. Bwala added that alternative security agencies, such as the State Security Service (SSS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), could be assigned where necessary. “In such cases, it might be the SSS or Civil Defence providing security support, but not the police. Police officers should not be attached to individuals who fall outside the President’s exemption list,” he stated.
