Wale busari02 mins

A disturbing claim has surfaced online involving Nigerian billionaire and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, after a young man accused him of attempting to orchestrate an attack on his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels. In a video that has since gone viral, the man alleged that he and others were promised N5 million to carry out the act. He further claimed that they were given details about Regina Daniels’ movements and whereabouts, but declined to follow through. “Ned Nwoko told us to go and kill Regina Daniels, gave us her location and the time she was going to move, but we refused to do it, because… I cannot do it.” The video has triggered massive reactions across social media, with users expressing shock, disbelief, and concern over the gravity of the accusation. Nwoko and Daniels have recently made headlines over reports of marital troubles, with ongoing rumors of separation and possible reconciliation fueling public attention around their relationship. As of now, Senator Ned Nwoko has not issued any public statement addressing the allegation, and there is no independent confirmation verifying the authenticity of the claims.

Leeds Beat Chelsea 3-1 To Climb Out Of Relegation Zone

Wale busari03 mins

Leeds delivered a crucial and emotionally charged victory at Elland Road, defeating Chelsea to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone at a time when it mattered most. With reports swirling this week that Daniel Farke’s job was under threat, the German manager watched his side respond in style with a fearless and disciplined performance that overwhelmed a heavily rotated Chelsea team, who slipped to fifth on the table as a result. Leeds set the tone early when defender Jaka Bijol rose highest from a corner to power home a superb header and give the hosts a dream start. The pressure continued, and Ao Tanaka doubled the lead with a stunning strike from the edge of the box, rifling the ball into the net for his first Premier League goal. The effort also made history as the first goal scored by an Asian player for Leeds in the competition. Chelsea attempted a response after the break, with Enzo Maresca making a double substitution at half-time. One of those changes paid off when Pedro Neto pulled a goal back, finishing at the far post after a dangerous delivery from Jamie Gittens. Cole Palmer returned to action for the first time since September and nearly drew Chelsea level, but after a powerful run down the left by Alejandro Garnacho, he pulled his shot wide of the target. Leeds made Chelsea pay for that missed opportunity late on. Sloppy defending from Tosin inside the box allowed Noah Okafor to steal possession in the six-yard area, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin was left with a simple tap-in to seal a famous 3–1 victory. The result lifts Leeds out of the relegation zone and eases the immediate pressure on Farke, while Chelsea are left to reflect on a damaging defeat.

Arsenal Tighten Grip On Premier League Summit With Comfortable 2-0 Brentford Win

Wale busari03 mins

Arsenal continued their steady march at the top of the Premier League with a calm 2–0 win over Brentford on Wednesday night, as Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka delivered the decisive goals. Mikel Arteta rang the changes after the draw with Chelsea, bringing in Ben White, Noni Madueke and captain Martin Ødegaard. The reshuffle paid off almost immediately, with Arsenal settling into control from the opening minutes. The breakthrough arrived in the 11th minute when White surged forward on the right flank and whipped in a dangerous delivery. Merino met the cross with a firm header that left Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with no chance. Operating in an unfamiliar attacking role because of injuries to Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyökeres, Merino once again proved his value in front of goal. The strike took his tally to 13 goals in 2025, the best return among Arsenal players this year. Brentford’s best opportunity came from a set-piece, as Kevin Schade rose highest at a corner, only for David Raya to claw the header onto the crossbar. Beyond that moment, the visitors struggled to build any real momentum. Just before the interval, Arsenal struck again. Merino turned provider, threading a clever pass into Saka’s path, and the winger kept his composure to finish, even after Kelleher got a touch to the ball. Arsenal remained on top in the second half without needing to move through the gears, though Arteta was forced into two changes as Cristhian Mosquera and Declan Rice both picked up knocks. The victory stretches Arsenal’s unbeaten run across all competitions to 18 matches and makes it eight straight home wins, further strengthening their grip on the summit of the Premier League table.

Wale busari02 mins

The United States has announced visa restrictions targeting individuals involved in the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclosed the measures on X on Wednesday, saying they will apply to anyone who directs, authorizes, funds, or supports violations of religious freedom. “United States is taking decisive action in response to the atrocities and violence against Christians in Nigeria and around the world,” Rubio said. “The @StateDept will restrict U.S. visas for those who knowingly direct, authorize, fund, support, or carry out violations of religious freedom. This visa policy applies to Nigeria and other governments or individuals that persecute people for their religious beliefs.” The decision follows President Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, citing what he described as “genocide against Christians” in the country. Trump announced the designation on October 30 via Truth Social and later highlighted it during a national address.

Badaru Abubakar Denies Resignation Rumours Claiming He Opposed US And Tinubu’s Military Actions

Wale busari01 mins

Former Defence Minister Mohammed Badaru Abubakar has refuted online reports suggesting he resigned from office because he “could not stand and watch the US and Tinubu government bombing our brothers in the forest.” In a statement on Wednesday, Badaru described the publication as false, malicious, and misleading. He stressed that neither he nor any authorised representative made such remarks. “The report aims to damage my reputation, create friction between me and President Bola Tinubu, and generate unnecessary controversy,” he said. Badaru clarified that the reasons for his resignation were formally communicated to the President and had already been made public through official channels. He reaffirmed his commitment to Nigeria’s peace and stability and expressed continued support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. The former minister urged the public to disregard the viral claims, calling them the work of mischief makers.

Senate Passes Bill To Classify Kidnapping And Hostage-Taking As Terrorism With Death Penalty

Wale busari03 mins

A bill seeking to classify all kidnapping and hostage-taking offences as acts of terrorism has passed its second reading at the Senate, presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The proposed legislation prescribes the death penalty for all kidnapping-related crimes, with no option for fines or alternative sentences. Lawmakers said the bill is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s terrorism laws. Akpabio emphasized the urgency of the matter, noting that issues raised in plenary must first be discussed in public hearings before being formally prohibited to reflect current realities. “It’s something we fast-track to go for public hearing and thereafter concordance. Everything you are saying here, you must say at a public hearing and then prohibit it to suit today’s situation,” he said. The Senate President invited senators to voice their support, giving proponents and opponents an opportunity to respond. He instructed, “Those who support this bill say hi, and those against say nay the hi of it.” The bill aims to amend the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act to designate kidnapping and related offences as acts of terrorism and prescribe the death penalty. Akpabio read the bill’s main proposal and formal title to clarify its contents. After the second reading, the bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Judicial, Human Rights, and Legal Matters as the lead committee, with support from the Committees on National Security and Interior, and a two-week deadline to report back. The bill had its first reading on 27 November 2025, sponsored by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, and passed after a voice vote. Currently, Nigeria’s Anti-Terrorism Act applies the death penalty only when a kidnapping results in the victim’s death. Other kidnapping offences carry varying penalties, including life imprisonment, while ransom payments attract a minimum of 15 years. Recent cases highlighting the threat include the rescue of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State and 38 church worshippers in Kwara State, though no arrests have been reported in either incident.
