Wale busari02 mins

VeryDarkMan has finally spoken out about the dramatic stunt involving King Mitchy, putting an end to days of speculation and online frenzy. The incident, which involved dangerous behavior and sparked rumors of death, quickly became one of the most talked-about controversies on Nigerian social media. He said, “This whole thing that happened between me and King Mitchy was supposed to send me to prison; it was supposed to cancel me for good, and they used the right person for the job, Mitchy. This was a deliberate and well-planned attack to send me to prison, but as their plan failed, they turned it all into a joke.” On his own response during the stunt, VeryDarkMan added, “The move of also drinking Hypo after she drank hers was the perfect response.” While the stunt caused panic online, authorities have confirmed that no one was seriously injured. The episode has reignited conversations about the risks of extreme social media content and the responsibility influencers bear when creating viral moments.

Okpebholo Joins Benin Protesters Against BEDC Over Power Outages And Billing Issues

Wale busari04 mins

Governor Monday Okpebholo joined protesters in Benin, Edo State, on Monday as residents demonstrated against frequent power outages and the billing practices of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC). The protest started at Ring Road in the city center, with demonstrators carrying banners reading, “We say no to BEDC oppression,” “No light, no bill,” and “Edo people say no to bulk billing.” Residents voiced frustration over constant blackouts, estimated bills, and the high cost of prepaid meters. Speaking for the group, Ogbidi Emmanuel described the protest as a response to what he called “oppressive practices” by BEDC. “We pay for light, and they give us darkness,” he said, questioning the transparency of the company’s free meter distribution scheme and calling for a public list of beneficiaries. He added that meters reportedly cost between N150,000 and N400,000. Okpebholo addressed the crowd, urging calm while promising swift engagement with relevant stakeholders. “We need to engage them to see how we can bring in more investors into the business of electricity distribution. Once that is done, we will all be more assured of stable power. Let us remain calm and allow the engagement to take place,” he said. The governor noted that BEDC is privately owned and not directly controlled by the state government, but assured residents that steps would be taken to address their concerns. He announced a stakeholders’ meeting for Tuesday and invited protesters to nominate five representatives to take part. “I was just passing by and saw people gathered here at Ring Road. I stopped to find out what the issue was, and they said you were protesting. I said, yes, we are all youths, and I have come to join you. The only way we can fight this is to bring new investors into the business of distribution. We will break the monopoly. We want to operate like the telecom sector, where you have alternatives. Bringing in more investors will give our people options,” Okpebholo added. The demonstration remained peaceful, with security personnel ensuring order as protesters dispersed after the governor’s address. BEDC has yet to issue an official response to the complaints.

Iran Launches Drone Attack On US Embassy In Saudi Arabia Amid Gulf Tensions

Wale busari02 mins

Iran carried out a drone attack on the United States embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, early Tuesday, causing a fire and minor damage. According to the Saudi Ministry of Defence, two drones hit the embassy located in the capital’s diplomatic district, producing plumes of black smoke and a loud blast. The fire, however, was limited in scale. The building was empty at the time, and no injuries were reported. Saudi air defence forces intercepted four additional drones targeting the diplomatic area during the attack. Following the strike, the US embassy advised American citizens to avoid the vicinity. The attack comes amid escalating tensions in the Gulf region, as Iran has launched drone and missile strikes in response to recent joint US-Israeli attacks on Iranian territory. On Monday, debris from an Iranian drone forced Saudi Aramco to shut down its Ras Tanura oil refinery after it sparked a fire. In light of the increasing threat, the US State Department ordered the evacuation of non-essential personnel and families from Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, and Jordan. President Donald Trump said the US response to the attacks would be announced soon.

Wale busari02 mins

The Jigawa Judicial Service Commission has ordered the compulsory retirement of Shari’a Court judge Sadisu Muhammad-Haruna following findings of corruption and misconduct. The announcement was made on Tuesday in Dutse by the commission’s Director of Protocol and Publicity, Abba Wangara. The decision came after an investigation into a petition filed by Abdullahi Hamza, which revealed that Muhammad-Haruna had collected unauthorized fees from the petitioner in violation of the Jigawa Shari’a Court Civil Procedure Rules (2012). He was also accused of illegally detaining the petitioner, an action deemed a serious breach of judicial ethics. “The compulsory retirement of Muhammad-Haruna sends a strong message that corruption and abuse of power by judicial officers will not be tolerated,” Wangara said. At the same meeting, the commission promoted over 80 staff members to reward outstanding performance and enhance morale. Several senior appointments were also made within the state Shari’a Court of Appeal. Key appointments include Aliyu Muhammad as Deputy Chief Registrar I (Administration), Abdulrashid Alhassan as Deputy Chief Registrar II (Litigation), Isma’il Sani as Chief Inspector of Shari’a Courts, Umar Malam as Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Muhammad Lawan as Director of Personnel Management, and Kabiru Isyaku as Deputy Chief Inspector.

Carter Efe Says He Quit Church Over Malicious Advice From Fellow Worshippers

Wale busari02 mins

Carter Efe has explained why he stopped attending church, citing experiences that left him questioning the intentions of some fellow worshippers. The skit maker told The Honest Bunch that he was once a regular churchgoer but became disillusioned after receiving advice he considered harmful from someone he describes as a committed Christian. “I used to go to church but I stopped because I noticed that a lot of churchgoers are very malicious. For example, Sidney Talker goes to church consistently yet he advised me to quit streaming. I see that as malicious advice. He has even advised me before to discharge Kolu with 1 million naira but I refused. That was when I decided to make Kolu my best friend. He said that I should discharge Kolu because his former boss Portable has juju and could attack me. I wonder why Sidney Talker is afraid of juju despite his consistency in church. I was surprised by his advice because I was beginning to gain traction and then suddenly he advised me to stop. What reason would you have to tell me to calm down? It seemed malicious to me,” Carter Efe shared. He added that the experience made him rethink his approach to church, especially when guidance from fellow believers conflicted with his personal goals and creative ambitions. “ I use to go to church well before but I stopped because Sydney that goes to church all the time told me to stop streaming and also told me to give Kolu 1 million Naira and let him leave my side permanently” – Carter Efe 🙆🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/tBWOZFKYXX — Oyindamola🙄 (@dammiedammie35) March 2, 2026

Wale busari01 mins

Annie Macaulay has addressed misconceptions about her personal life, choosing to clarify how she sees herself after her separation. The Nollywood actress shared a message on Instagram correcting the way many people have described her since parting ways with her former husband. According to her, being called a “single mom” does not accurately reflect her reality. Setting the record straight, the mother of two wrote: “I’m not a single Mom. I’m a single woman raising two kids”. With that brief but pointed statement, Annie emphasized the difference between being unmarried and the broader assumptions often tied to single motherhood. She made it clear that while she is currently single, she prefers to define her situation on her own terms. For Annie, the wording matters. She remains focused on raising her children while shaping her own narrative without labels she feels do not represent her journey.

DSS Arrests Suspect Over Alleged Assassination Attempt On Peter Obi In Benin

Wale busari04 mins

The Department of State Services (DSS) has taken into custody a man accused of orchestrating the recent attack on Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, in Benin, Edo State. The incident occurred while Obi was attending a political meeting in Benin alongside former Edo State Governor John Oyegun and other figures within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Armed men reportedly stormed the gathering and fired gunshots, causing chaos before fleeing the scene. Soon after the attack, a social media user identified as Udeme Monday Stephen, operating the X handle @stevetom788, publicly claimed responsibility. In his posts, he not only boasted about the Benin incident but also threatened further action against Obi. “We warned Obi against his entrance into Edo State, but he mistook our resolve for his Obidiots online noise. Thank his stars he (Obi) survived this one… “I learnt he’s going to my Rivers State… Na my men go handle that one and dem no dey miss target… Speak no peace to a bastard and wish him no long life, for he’s destined to die.” Security sources revealed that immediately after the threats surfaced online, DSS operatives initiated a covert probe, using forensic technology to trace the suspect. The investigation reportedly led to the arrest of the 26-year-old Udeme Monday Stephen. According to insiders, Stephen is a teacher at Jessica High School in Eliozu, Rivers State, situated within the Umuehere Community in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area. A security source maintained that forensic findings strongly linked him to the threats and alleged plot. In a related development, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has instructed public officials under his administration who intend to contest the 2027 general elections to resign their appointments. The directive, contained in a February 28, 2026 statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ikhilor, set March 1, 2025 as the deadline for compliance. The government explained that the move is designed to ensure transparency, fairness and institutional neutrality ahead of the electoral season. “Public office holders are reminded that the responsibilities of governance must not be compromised by partisan political engagements. “All affected officers are therefore advised to take immediate and necessary steps to comply with this directive within the stipulated timeline.” Following the order, two officials — Deputy Chief of Staff Pius Alile and Edo State Audit Service member Terry Igiebor — have reportedly stepped down to pursue their political ambitions for 2027.
