Ola of Lagos Denies Owning Skywise Property Following Car Lot Demolition

Wale busari02 mins

Ola of Lagos has set the record straight on the recent demolition of his car lot, denying claims that he tried to claim ownership of the Skywise Group property. He explained that he only leased a section of the property for his business and that the Lagos State Government carried out the demolition due to safety violations, not as a personal attack. “I need to clear the confusion circulating on social media concerning the demolition of my car lot. I never claimed I was the owner of the Skywise Group property. I only leased a section for my business. The Lagos State Government demolished the building because some safety precautions were not taken, not that I was targeted,” Ola said. The clarification comes after criticism from individuals, including activist Deji Adeyanju, who accused him of trying to possess property that wasn’t his. Ola urged the public to confirm facts before sharing information, stressing that the demolition was strictly a regulatory action.

Wale busari02 mins

Actress Sarah Martins was detained by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) for conducting activities on public infrastructure without official approval, the Lagos State Government has stated. In a statement on Friday, Tokunbo Wahab, Commissioner for the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, said Martins’ charitable cooking on a road median violated the state’s environmental and sanitation regulations. “The incident took place in the Admiralty area of Lekki Phase 1, where an individual was apprehended for unauthorized use of public infrastructure,” the statement said. “While acts of charity are appreciated, they must comply with state laws to ensure public safety, protect the environment, and maintain order in the city.” The commissioner highlighted Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to keeping Lagos clean and sustainable, stressing that improper use of public spaces can disrupt traffic, create health risks, and damage infrastructure. “Actions such as the arrest and removal of equipment are part of the #KeepLagosClean and #ZeroToleranceLagos campaigns. Residents and organizations are urged to seek approval or use designated areas for charitable initiatives, ensuring their activities align with regulations,” the statement added.

Wike Mocks Peter Obi, Says He’ll Keep Contesting For President On Social Media

Wale busari04 mins

Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has mocked former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, saying he will remain a “social media presidential candidate” rather than one taken seriously in Nigeria. Wike made the remark on Thursday while commissioning newly constructed roads in the Mabushi District of Abuja, responding to Obi’s recent comments about the poor state of public schools in the FCT. Obi had visited LEA Primary School in Kapwa on Wednesday, where he described the condition of the school as a “national disgrace” and a reflection of the government’s neglect of education. He lamented the lack of chairs, toilets, and other basic facilities, blaming the situation on leadership failure. In a sharp response, Wike accused Obi of politicising the issue and using emotional gestures to gain sympathy on social media. He said his administration was already addressing infrastructure challenges in the FCT, insisting that Obi had no moral ground to criticise anyone’s performance. “I hear one of the social media presidential candidates went to a local school and claimed the government has abandoned public education. His name is Mr Peter Obi. It’s not everything you must play politics with,” Wike said. The minister also took aim at Obi’s record as governor of Anambra State, alleging that he ignored key infrastructure projects during his eight-year tenure. “Peter Obi, you were governor for eight years. If you had completed all the necessary work in Anambra, nobody would still be talking about development there today. And why did you fall out with your successor?” Wike questioned. He further compared Obi’s tenure to his own record in Abuja, saying: “We’ve only been in office for two years. You served eight years. Compare what we’ve done in two years in the FCT to what you did in Anambra in eight years. Can you really say you love this country or Ndi Anambra? Certainly not.” Wike concluded with a taunt: “You will continue to contest for President on social media, but never as President of Nigeria. You couldn’t manage your own party, yet you want to manage a country of over 200 million people. It’s not possible for people like you.”

My heart aches.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Chukwukere sarah ujunwa (@officialsarahmartins)

Saudi Arabia Cuts Nigeria’s Hajj Camp Slots For 2026 Over Unused Quota

Wale busari05 mins

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has revealed that Saudi Arabia has significantly reduced the number of camp slots available for Nigerian pilgrims for the 2026 Hajj, following the country’s underutilisation of its quota during the 2025 exercise. In a statement released on Thursday by the Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations, Fatima Usara, NAHCON said Nigeria, which was allocated 95,000 slots, now has only 66,910 approved spaces on Saudi Arabia’s NUSUK Masar portal for camp accommodation. According to the statement titled “NAHCON, States Discuss Hajj Costing and Other Critical Issues; Ministry Briefs NAHCON on Tour Operators,” the commission warned that the cut would have serious implications for states and licensed tour operators. “The Mashair space reserved for Nigeria’s pilgrims on the NUSUK Masar portal is actually 66,910 slots for the 2026 Hajj. This means that out of the 95,000 slots allocated, only 51,513 are available for state pilgrims and officials, while 15,397 will go to licensed tour operators,” the statement read. The commission explained that the reduction was imposed by Saudi authorities as a penalty after Nigeria failed to fill its full quota in 2025. Although NAHCON had secured 52,544 spaces for state pilgrims in 2025, only 41,218 pilgrims were airlifted under the government quota. An additional 18,000 travelled through private tour operators, leaving more than 35,000 unused slots. During a meeting with State Pilgrims Welfare Boards, NAHCON’s Commissioner of Operations, Prince Anofiu Elegushi, disclosed that future allocations would be based on each state’s utilisation during the last Hajj. “States that failed to use their full quota in 2025 will be most affected,” Elegushi warned. NAHCON added that it has held discussions with Saudi authorities, who instructed that each group of tour operators should be allocated a minimum of 2,000 slots and registered on the NUSUK platform. The NAHCON Chairman, Professor Abdullahi Usman, urged all stakeholders to work in unity to avoid disruptions, saying “unity in this assignment is key to the success of Hajj 2026.” He also stressed the importance of proper medical screening, given Saudi Arabia’s strict health regulations. To reduce the financial burden on intending pilgrims, the commission said negotiations were ongoing to cut some cost components such as cargo handling fees. However, it warned that service providers’ rates would not be arbitrarily reduced to avoid compromising service quality. A board member representing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Adetona Adedeji, promised to relay NAHCON’s appeal for a reduction in the 2% transaction fee charged on pilgrims’ payments. The commission also reminded states of the December 21 remittance deadline and urged them to set earlier internal cut-off dates to avoid delays. It added that a nationwide sensitisation campaign would soon begin to stress the urgency of meeting the deadline. NAHCON confirmed that the 2026 Hajj would adopt the international aviation luggage policy, which allows each pilgrim two 23kg checked-in bags and one backpack as hand luggage. It also reiterated Saudi Arabia’s health restrictions, warning that persons with organ failure, psychiatric disorders, active cancer, pregnancy, tuberculosis, or other communicable diseases will not be allowed entry into the Kingdom.

Nnamdi Kanu’s Wife Begs Court To Save Husband’s Life, Rejects DSS Medical Report

Wale busari03 mins

Favour Michael Kanu, wife of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed to Justice James Omotosho of the Abuja High Court not to let her husband die in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). In an open letter to the judge on Thursday, Mrs. Kanu expressed deep concern over what she described as the deteriorating health of her husband, faulting the medical report presented in court by a panel of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA). The NMA team had earlier informed the court that Kanu’s condition was not life-threatening and that he was fit to stand trial. However, Mrs. Kanu dismissed the report as misleading and unethical, insisting that her husband’s health was critical and required urgent medical care outside the DSS facility. She urged the court to order his transfer to another hospital within Abuja, warning that keeping him at the DSS clinic could worsen his condition. “When your Lordship took over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case in March 2025, I strongly believed justice was at hand, having read about your impeccable reputation. However, the recent developments in court make me wonder if those attributes were exaggerated,” the letter read in part. She accused the court of indecisiveness and delays, alleging that the proceedings were being deliberately prolonged to keep her husband in detention. Mrs. Kanu also questioned the authenticity of the NMA’s report, claiming that it was never properly conducted. According to her, the DSS produced a “disjointed and unethical” report instead. She blamed her husband’s poor health on the alleged torture he suffered after being “illegally brought back from Kenya,” adding that he has since been held in harsh conditions without adequate medical care. “Why will your Lordship deny Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the opportunity to be treated in a proper hospital in Abuja instead of subjecting him to a poorly equipped DSS clinic?” she asked. Mrs. Kanu appealed to Justice Omotosho to intervene swiftly, stressing that her husband’s life was at risk and that justice must not be sacrificed to bureaucracy.
