Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has vowed to expose a colleague who allegedly fed false information to blogger Cutie Julls, following her recent legal victory over a defamatory story linking her to former senator Dino Melaye. Taking to social media to celebrate, Adunni Ade wrote, “I won my case – Adunni Ade vs. Polace Media Limited. A false story was published about me, but the truth stood tall. This judgment reaffirms that privacy matters – and so does integrity. Justice delayed isn’t justice denied.” The Lagos High Court ruled in her favor, awarding her ₦20 million in damages and ordering the removal of her name and image from the publication. She also expressed gratitude to her lawyer, Olumide Babalola, for his tireless efforts throughout the case. Adunni issued a stern warning to anyone avoiding legal proceedings: “You who are running up and down avoiding court papers, please stand still so you can be served.” She went further to call out the colleague she believes was behind the false story, accusing her of envy and malice. “Very soon the world will know the kind of snake you are. Envy and bitterness live and breathe in you. You are deadly! You must have forgotten what you showed me in my room?” The actress concluded by thanking the Nigerian judiciary for upholding her rights, emphasizing the importance of protecting privacy and integrity. The case has been widely regarded as a landmark ruling in Nigeria, highlighting the need to hold individuals accountable for spreading false information.

CAN Denies Christian Genocide Claims, Urges Nigerians To Address Insurgency Locally

CAN Denies Christian Genocide Claims, Urges Nigerians To Address Insurgency Locally

Wale busari03 mins

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has rejected claims of a “Christian genocide” in the country, calling such reports exaggerated and driven by foreign interests. The controversy emerged after US comedian Bill Maher alleged that Christians in Nigeria were being systematically killed, with Islamist groups reportedly burning churches and attempting to eliminate the Christian population. US Senator Ted Cruz also accused Nigerian authorities of “ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists,” claiming that Christians were being targeted under sharia and blasphemy laws. Cruz subsequently introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act in the US Senate to impose sanctions on officials deemed responsible. Congressman Riley Moore also urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and suspend arms sales until the government demonstrates protection for Christians. Speaking to Guardian Nigeria on Tuesday, CAN’s Director of National Issues and Social Welfare, Abimbola Ayuba, acknowledged the ongoing killings but rejected the idea that Christians are uniquely targeted. “Facts show that the killings do not follow any particular pattern,” Ayuba said. “In Christian-majority states like Benue, it may seem Christians are being targeted, but Muslims have also been attacked, including during early morning prayers in mosques. The violence involves kidnappings, attacks, and other atrocities that affect everyone.” Ayuba also criticized groups exploiting the situation for foreign attention. “Some actors use our challenges to serve their foreign interests. While outsiders have a right to inquire, we must present the facts accurately. The violence does not discriminate—it affects Christians, Muslims, and even children,” he said. He urged Nigerians to take collective action to address the insurgency locally rather than seeking sympathy abroad. “We need an all-of-society approach to end this insurgency. Why appeal to America when the Nigerian Senate provides avenues for petitions? Declaring Nigeria a country of particular concern will hurt all of us. Those seeking foreign sympathy know why they do it,” Ayuba concluded.

Tinubu Requests House Approval For $2.35 Billion External Loan And $500 Million Sukuk To Fund Budget, Infrastructure

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Tinubu has officially sought the House of Representatives’ approval to borrow $2.35 billion in external funds to partly finance the 2025 budget deficit and refinance Nigeria’s maturing Eurobonds. The request, contained in a letter to House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, was read on the floor of the House on Tuesday. Tinubu is also seeking clearance to issue a $500 million debut sovereign sukuk in the International Capital Market (ICM) to support infrastructure projects and broaden Nigeria’s financing options. The borrowing plan complies with Sections 21(1) and 27(1) of the Debt Management Office (Establishment) Act, 2003, which require legislative approval for new loans and refinancing arrangements. The $2.35 billion proposal consists of $1.23 billion (N1.84 trillion) earmarked in the 2025 Appropriation Act to help close the budget gap, and $1.12 billion to refinance a Eurobond maturing on November 21. “The Federal Government has recorded significant success issuing Sukuk in the domestic capital market to fund key infrastructure projects,” the letter stated. “From September 2017 to May 2025, the DMO raised N1.39 trillion through domestic Sukuk for road infrastructure projects. Nevertheless, it is crucial to access external funds to complement domestic resources, bridge infrastructure gaps, diversify the investor base, and deepen the government securities market.” Tinubu explained that the funds could be raised through one or a combination of instruments such as Eurobonds, loan syndications, or bridge financing facilities, depending on market conditions. He added that pricing for the new Eurobonds is expected to mirror current yields on Nigeria’s international bonds, ranging from 6.8 percent to 9.3 percent depending on maturity. On the $500 million sovereign sukuk, the President said it would diversify Nigeria’s investor base, deepen the government securities market, and finance critical infrastructure projects across the country.

The Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State has announced new regulations for commercial motorcycle (okada) and tricycle (keke) operators, including a ban on the use of face masks while on duty. In a statement signed by the council’s secretary, Hon. Raymond Overah, and released to journalists in Warri on Tuesday, October 2, the council said the new measures were designed to improve security, maintain order, and enhance transportation management across the area. According to the directive, which will take effect in 30 days, okada riders are now restricted to operating between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily and must wear reflective vests displaying a clearly written Area Code Number. “Any okada rider found wearing a face mask while on duty shall be arrested immediately,” the statement read. For tricycle operators, the new rules permit operations from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. All tricycles must display a visible and valid Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) Number, and no passenger is allowed to board one without it. The council also directed that keke covers must be properly tied, particularly during rainfall. Violators of these regulations, the statement warned, risk a seven-day detention. It also included a stern security caution, stating that anyone caught stealing within the ATP premises “shall be shot on sight.” The council urged all transport unions, riders, and residents to fully comply with the new measures to ensure the safety and orderliness of Sapele. Meanwhile, in a related development, the Delta State Police Command confirmed the arrest of four suspected armed robbers and drug peddlers in Asaba. Police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe said the arrests followed a robbery report on October 1, 2025. According to him, the DPO of B Division Asaba, CSP Edewor Akponegware, led a surveillance team to respond swiftly to a distress call from a female victim who was robbed at gunpoint by two men around the BONSAAC area.
