Taye Arimoro Sues Peggy Ovire Over Alleged Assault on Movie Set, Demands N100 Million

Wale busari02 mins

Actor Taye Arimoro has sued his colleague, Peggy Ovire, and her production company over an alleged assault during a movie shoot. Through his lawyers, Inibehe Effiong Chambers, Arimoro is demanding a public apology and N100 million in damages, citing a violation of his fundamental human rights. Arimoro alleged on his official Instagram page that the incident occurred after he tried to leave the set when his contracted working hours had ended. He claimed that Peggy and her team blocked his car, damaged its tyres, and physically assaulted him, injuring his gums and lips. “I said I wanted to go home, but they don’t want me to. They held me against my will, and that wasn’t cool. Why would you block me? I can’t go to my house again? Why? I’m not shooting two scenes. I told you, if it’s 12 p.m., I’m out,” he said during an Instagram livestream. Arimoro added, “I definitely need to see a dentist because my lower front tooth is damaged, and I’m also seeing a lawyer. I can’t drive my car because they deflated about three of my tyres. It’s really bad. I’ve never experienced anything like this because I don’t cause trouble, especially when it comes to work.” Peggy Ovire denied the allegations in an Instagram post, claiming that Arimoro was the aggressor during the confrontation.

Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trips to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, to attend the 20th G20 Summit and the 7th AU-EU Summit, citing growing security concerns across the country. The decision follows the kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State and Monday’s attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State. In a statement, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President will await further security briefings before traveling. In response to a request from the Governor of Kwara State, President Tinubu has ordered the deployment of additional military and police personnel to Eruku and the wider Ekiti Local Government Area. He has also directed security agencies to pursue the bandits responsible for the attack. “The President was scheduled to leave Abuja today for the summits, but disturbed by the recent security breaches, he has suspended his departure,” Onanuga said. The President is now awaiting reports from Vice President Kashim Shettima, who visited Kebbi on his behalf, as well as updates from the police and the Department of State Services regarding the attacks. President Tinubu reiterated his directive to security agencies to do everything possible to rescue the 24 abducted schoolgirls and ensure their safe return.

The Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Olawande Ayodele, announced the government’s backing while joining ongoing advocacy efforts for the bill. He affirmed his commitment to collaborate with campaigners, amplify the initiative, and ensure that young people’s voices are adequately represented in the nation’s constitution. The bill, sponsored by Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala, Chairman of the House Committee on Youth, passed its first reading in the National Assembly on November 12.

He commended the advocacy team led by Hon. Blessing Oyefeso, President of Nigeria Youths in Politics and Team Lead for the Youth Quota in Parliament Bill Advocacy, praising their dedication to advancing youth participation in governance.

Trump Hosts Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — 5 Key Takeaways From High-Profile White House Meeting

Kamal Yalwa05 mins

November 19, 2025 United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday hosted Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) at the White House, marking one of the most elaborate state welcomes of his administration and signalling a new phase in US–Saudi relations. MBS, who arrived through the South Portico, was received with marching bands, flag-bearing horsemen and a military flyover—an extravagant display underscoring Washington’s deepening ties with Riyadh. Both leaders later met journalists in the Oval Office, highlighting cooperation in security, investment, technology and Middle East diplomacy. Below are the key highlights from the meeting: 1. Progress on Possible Saudi–Israel Normalisation Trump and MBS confirmed they held “good talks” on Saudi Arabia potentially joining the Abraham Accords. While no timeline was given, the crown prince reiterated Riyadh’s long-standing position: any agreement must include a clear path to a Palestinian state. “We want to be sure we secure a clear path to a two-state solution,” MBS said. 2. US Grants Saudi Arabia ‘Major Non-NATO Ally’ Status At a black-tie dinner, Trump formally recognised Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally, joining 19 other nations with privileged access to US military equipment. Both countries also signed a new strategic defence agreement, with the White House stating it will strengthen deterrence in the Middle East and secure increased Saudi contributions to shared security costs. Trump further confirmed he will approve the sale of F-35 fighter jets to the kingdom. 3. Trump Says Iran Wants a Deal While boasting about US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities earlier in the year, Trump also adopted a softer tone, suggesting Tehran now seeks diplomacy. “I am totally open to it,” he said. MBS told reporters Saudi Arabia would support a US–Iran agreement “that satisfies the region and the world”. 4. Saudi Arabia Set to Invest Up to $1 Trillion in the US Trump thanked the crown prince for what he described as $600 billion to $1 trillion in new Saudi investments into the US economy, spanning technology, artificial intelligence, rare minerals and manufacturing. MBS echoed this, saying the kingdom wants to anchor its economic transformation around emerging American technologies. 5. Warmth, Praise and Political Messaging The meeting was marked by unusually warm exchanges. Trump described MBS as “fantastic” and “brilliant”, even grabbing his hand while mocking former President Joe Biden’s fist-bump meeting with the crown prince in 2021. The optics underscored the administration’s view of Saudi Arabia not only as a strategic partner but also as a central pillar of its Middle East policy. What It Means The high-profile meeting signals: – A revived push for Saudi–Israel normalisation – Deeper defence and security alignment – Massive economic ties and tech partnerships – Potential diplomatic openings with Iran With Trump and MBS projecting unity and ambition, Washington and Riyadh appear poised for one of the closest bilateral partnerships in decades.

Soldiers Injured As Terrorists Ambush Troops On Kebbi Schoolgirls Rescue Mission

Wale busari02 mins

Several Nigerian soldiers sustained injuries after terrorists ambushed troops on a mission to rescue schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi State. The attack occurred just a day after the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, ordered Operation Fasan Yamma troops to intensify efforts against the bandits responsible for abducting students from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga. “You must continue day and night fighting. We must find these children,” Shaibu instructed, stressing that commanders should act on intelligence for precise, professional operations. “Once you receive information on something like this, act professionally and decisively. This is not just about our image; it is about doing our job properly,” he added. The COAS directed troops to maintain 24-hour operations until all abducted students are safely rescued and reunited with their families. Following these orders, soldiers mobilized for the rescue mission but were ambushed by terrorists. Video footage obtained by DAILY POST shows several injured soldiers lying helplessly without immediate medical attention. One of the wounded soldiers, speaking in Hausa, said: “Musa has a bullet lodged in his leg. His condition is very bad.” The operational vehicle used during the mission was also riddled with bullet holes during the attack.

Vice President Kashim Shettima is scheduled to visit Kebbi State on Wednesday to console the state government and reassure parents and guardians of the recently abducted schoolgirls. The visit, directed by President Bola Tinubu, underscores the federal government’s commitment to ensuring the swift and safe return of the students.

President Tinubu, in a statement, expressed deep sorrow over the abduction and also extended condolences to the Nigerian military following the deaths of soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba, who were killed while combating insurgents in Borno State. Emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in tackling insecurity, Tinubu urged residents, particularly in high-risk areas, to provide information that can assist the military, police, and Department of State Services (DSS) in securing communities. “Our security forces cannot succeed in protecting us if the people don’t cooperate and share information that will help them keep our communities safe. I urge community leaders and compatriots across the country, especially those in the theatres of operations, to share useful information. Your cooperation is crucial in our fight against these security challenges,” the President said. Shettima’s visit aims to offer reassurance to families, strengthen coordination between federal and state authorities, and support ongoing efforts to rescue the abducted schoolgirls.
