Trump Announces U.S. Naval Armada Moving Toward Middle East Amid Deadly Iran Protests

President Donald Trump has once again threatened military action against Iran’s top leadership amid a brutal crackdown on nationwide protests. On Thursday, he revealed that a U.S. naval flotilla is being deployed to the Middle East. “We have a big flotilla going in that direction and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while returning from Davos, Switzerland. “I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely.” The warning follows a previous incident in which Trump had stepped back from plans to strike Iran, citing assurances that the country would not proceed with planned executions of hundreds of protesters. Tehran has warned the U.S. and Israel—whose forces carried out attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities last year—against any interference in the unrest. Contrary to earlier claims that executions had been halted, human-rights organizations report a rising death toll. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activist News Agency has confirmed 5,002 deaths since the protests began in late December, with nearly 10,000 more cases under review and over 26,000 arrests recorded. Mai Sato, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, said the civilian death toll could reach 20,000, according to reports from doctors in the country, though the number has not been officially verified by the UN. The protests, the largest challenge to Iran’s ruling regime in decades, began in Tehran after a currency collapse and quickly spread nationwide, with demonstrators calling for an end to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s leadership. The situation continues to draw global attention as governments and rights groups monitor the escalating violence.

A fresh controversy has erupted online following a viral video that shows police officers and security personnel storming Iyanaladuke, a food business linked to Femi Adebayo’s wife, and ordering workers and customers to vacate the premises. The clip, shared by the popular social media page Yeye Kudi Courtroom, captured armed officers surrounding the restaurant as activities were abruptly halted.

The business space was also described as being sealed off “like a crime scene,” sparking outrage and speculation online. In the strongly worded caption, Femi Adebayo was accused of orchestrating the shutdown, with allegations that he humiliated his wife, stripped her of her livelihood, and left her without a place to call home. The post also called on Oga Adebayo Salami to urgently investigate the matter. Since the video surfaced, reactions have been intense, with social media users demanding answers and clarity over who authorized the action and why armed officers were involved. As of now, neither Femi Adebayo nor official authorities have publicly responded to the allegations or explained the circumstances surrounding the incident.   View this post on Instagram

OGB Recent Breaks Silence On Why iShowSpeed Snubbed Peller During Nigeria Visit

OGB Recent has shed light on the reason American streamer iShowSpeed reportedly declined to interact with Nigerian content creator Peller during his recent visit to Nigeria. According to OGB, the situation was influenced by Peller’s past comments and conduct. He revealed that Peller had earlier made a video declaring that he would ignore iShowSpeed if the streamer ever visited Nigeria. OGB explained that when he first arrived at the hotel where iShowSpeed was staying, he approached the bouncers politely and requested a photo opportunity for his “younger brother.” The request was initially accepted, but he was told iShowSpeed was not around at the time. He said that when iShowSpeed eventually arrived, he personally pleaded with him, explaining that his younger brother wanted to take a picture. However, things changed when Peller appeared, posing as that younger brother. “There was a time Peller made a video saying that he will ignore IShowSpeed if he comes to Nigeria. Apart from that, immediately I got to the hotel where IShowSpeed was, I approached the bouncer and told him please my younger brother wants to a picture with IShowSpeed, they agreed but told me he wasn’t in. When IShowSpeed came I begged him that my younger brother wants to take a picture with him. Immediately Peller, who was posing as my younger brother, came in, Baba no gree again,” OGB said. He added that the bouncers later commended his respectful manner, noting that someone else had approached them in a boastful and entitled way. “Now who’s to be blamed for this. Is it IShowSpeed or Peller. Me I will blame Peller because immediately I met those bouncers, they told me that can I see how respectfully I was talking to them. That there was a guy saying that he is this, he is that. As they said Peller I say Jesus. That was before they bounce Peller the second time,” he added. OGB’s account has further fueled online discussions over the incident and the factors that led to iShowSpeed refusing to engage with Peller. OGB Cvltist just revealed why Peller was unable to meet ishowSpeed. He said Peller deserves b£ating, he mentioned they complained about his manner of approach and it was because of that video he made that he won't see IshowSpeed when he coes to Nigeria 🚶 pic.twitter.com/RSdjKrYKQq — TENIOLA (@Teeniiola) January 23, 2026

On Friday, youths gathered at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat to demand the removal of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of showing disrespect to party leaders. The protesters carried placards with slogans such as “President Tinubu, sack Wike now,” “Stop disrespecting APC members,” “No minister is above APC,” “APC no be Wike property,” “APC must restore order,” “Wike, APC leadership is not your mate,” and “Wike, no more political threats.” The demonstration followed a public clash between Wike and APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru over political issues in Rivers State.

A video from the funeral of Nigerian singer Azeez Adeshina, famously known as Destiny Boy, has surfaced online, drawing heartfelt reactions from fans and social media users. The footage shows the late singer’s body being brought to his family home in Ogun State to begin funeral rites.

Arsenal’s Nwaneri Heads to Marseille

Arsenal have confirmed the exit of Ethan Nwaneri on loan to Marseille, in a move that will see the 18-year-old join forces with the twin brother of a current teammate. Nwaneri became the Premier League’s youngest-ever player in 2022 and continued his upward trajectory in 2024-25, scoring nine goals in all competitions as he burst onto the first-team scene. However, added competition for places has bumped Nwaneri down the pecking order this season, and he failed to make the matchday squad for any of Arsenal’s last four Premier League games. ​ ​Seeking guaranteed minutes for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Nwaneri and Mikel Arteta quickly gave the green light to a loan move to Marseille, and the Gunners have now confirmed his switch. “Ethan Nwaneri has joined Olympique Marseille on loan until the end of the season,” a statement read. “Our hugely talented 18-year-old has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season and will now get more valuable game time with the Ligue 1 side. “We wish Ethan all the best for his time with Marseille and look forward to seeing him develop his talent in one of the best leagues in Europe.”   Nwaneri’s switch to the Orange Velodrome comes just a few hours after Les Olympiens announced the signing of Dutch midfielder Quinten Timber, the twin brother of Arsenal right-back Jurrien Timber.   The 2007-born Englishman will also join forces with ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in Marseille, who have also employed Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba over the past few years. Arsenal will hope that Nwaneri can follow in Saliba’s footsteps in particular, as the defender excelled at Marseille on loan in 2021-22 and has now blossomed into one of Europe’s most menacing defenders. Nwaneri temporarily leaves Arsenal having made just 12 appearances in all tournaments this season, scoring one goal against Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round of the EFL Cup. Marseille do not have an option or obligation to sign Nwaneri on a permanent deal, though, as the teenager only extended his Arsenal contract until 2030 last summer. Arsenal will bank a small amount for Nwaneri’s loan move to Marseille, who will reportedly pay the Gunners an initial €1.5m (£1.3m), according to football.london. Arsenal could supposedly end up banking as much as €4m (£3.5m) through the attacker’s temporary exit, but the final fee will be dependent on how much Nwaneri plays in France. Marseille will supposedly have to pay less money the more minutes Nwaneri plays, giving Roberto De Zerbi another incentive to hand the Arsenal loanee as many minutes as possible. Nwaneri could make his debut for Marseille against Ligue 1 leaders Lens on Saturday evening; De Zerbi’s men sit third in the table, eight points off the top and seven adrift of Paris Saint-Germain.
