Content creator and philanthropist Mitchell Mukoro, widely known as King Mitchy, has publicly apologised following backlash over her recent conduct online, including a moment where she consumed a substance during a live video. In a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, the influencer offered apologies to several individuals, including Seyi Tinubu, activist VeryDarkMan, the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and Nigerians at large. “Good morning Nigerians. I’m ready to be held accountable for my actions. For some days I’ve thought about my behaviour and I know that I was wrong and I want to be held accountable. “For the substance I took on live video, that was very wrong of me because there are young girls that are looking up to be me one day and I know I disappointed a lot of people. That was wrong of me, I was wrong.” She also extended a direct apology to Seyi Tinubu, acknowledging that her earlier actions were disrespectful. “And my boss ST (Seyi Tinubu), I’m so sorry. I know I apologised privately but I did not disrespect you privately, I disrespected you publicly so I want to apologise publicly. I’m so sorry sir. “I want you to know that I will never take your support for granted.” While addressing the traditional ruler, she expressed regret for mentioning him during the controversy. “I’m so sorry, sir. I’m so sorry for bringing your name into this, I’m so sorry daddy.” King Mitchy also spoke about her disagreement with VeryDarkMan, describing him as a brother and admitting she had come to better understand his advocacy. “You’re fighting for Nigerians and we can make Nigeria a better place and I’m sorry for coming at you like that. “Maybe now I understand you better because I had to step back and understand the kind of person that you are and I see that you’re fighting for a good cause for Nigeria to be better. “And you need more supporters, not people to fight you. I’m sorry my brother. Thank you, Nigerians.” The apology comes weeks after online debates erupted in late February 2026 when King Mitchy claimed she had renovated a dilapidated school within six days, arguing that rapid development is possible when there is genuine commitment to change.

He said he is careful to ensure that his actions on set never lead to issues in the personal lives of fellow actors. He also addressed speculation that emerged after the movie was released, noting that some viewers began spreading claims that he and BamBam were romantically involved. The actor dismissed the rumours, maintaining that their interaction never went beyond their professional roles in the film. “before i touched her, i asked her if there was any way i could touch her that her husband wouldn’t like or that might cause problems at home. that movie was the first time i had ever met her. but people started saying we slept together and were dating, which was completely false.”
Broda Shaggi Hospitalised After Alleged Shooting During Skit Recording In Sango-Ota
Popular Nigerian skit maker and comedian Broda Shaggi has reportedly been admitted to hospital after he allegedly suffered a gunshot injury while filming a comedy skit in Sango-Ota, Ogun State. The entertainer, whose real name is Samuel Perry, was said to be creating content with his production team beneath the Sango-Ota bridge on Sunday afternoon when the incident occurred, according to a report by The Punch. Sources familiar with the situation revealed that the comedian was hit by a bullet during the shoot. Members of his crew reportedly rushed him from the scene to Blooming Care Hospital in the Alakuko area of Lagos for immediate treatment. A police source who spoke anonymously because he was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly explained how the situation unfolded. “He was shooting a skit under the Sango-Ota bridge when he sustained a gunshot injury. We don’t have details on how it happened yet, but his crew members who were present quickly rushed him to the hospital.” Medical workers at the hospital were said to have quickly stabilised him and administered first aid before he was later transferred to Duchess Hospital located in the Government Residential Area of Ikeja for further medical care, where he is now recovering. The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed that the police were alerted after the injured entertainer was brought to the hospital. “The hospital contacted the police to report that a gunshot victim had been brought to their facility. Detectives and a patrol team were immediately mobilised to the hospital, where they discovered that the victim was a skit maker and social media influencer popularly known as Broda Shaggy. “He was seen on a stretcher with an injury to his thigh.

Lawyer Sues Tonto Dikeh Over Viral Deliverance Video Involving Schoolgirl, Seeks ₦200m Damages
Human rights lawyer Ikechukwu Obasi has filed a suit against Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh over a viral video showing her performing a deliverance ritual on a schoolgirl in Abuja. The case was filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009. Obasi is seeking a court declaration that the actress’s actions violated the rights of the child involved. The suit was filed on behalf of the minor, a Junior Secondary School One student at JSS Durumi II in Abuja, who is originally from Rivers State. In an affidavit attached to the filing, the lawyer said he came across the video and photos on Tonto Dikeh’s official Facebook page on March 6, 2026. The footage reportedly showed the actress conducting what he described as a forceful religious deliverance on the student during a school visit. According to the affidavit, the child was placed on bare ground and held against a rough surface while the ritual took place. Obasi argued that the incident amounted to harassment and exposed the girl to public embarrassment. He told the court that the actions not only undermined the student’s dignity but could also cause emotional stress and shame, particularly after the video circulated widely on social media. The lawyer also expressed concern about the public sharing of images and videos of the child, stating that it violated her right to privacy under the Nigerian Constitution and the Child Rights Act. Obasi further argued that portraying the schoolgirl as possessed by evil spirits and attempting to cast out those spirits could subject her to ridicule and discrimination, especially in communities with strong beliefs in witchcraft and spiritual attacks. He emphasized that the conduct went beyond normal religious practice and risked exposing minors to public stigma. Through the suit, the lawyer is seeking a declaration that the alleged deliverance ritual violated the child’s right to dignity under Section 34 of the 1999 Constitution, as well as provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the Child Rights Act. The court is also being asked to rule that performing religious rituals on children in this manner infringes on their fundamental rights. Additionally, Obasi is requesting orders requiring the actress to remove all related videos and photos from her social media accounts and to issue a public apology to the child and Nigerian children in three national newspapers. The suit also seeks to prohibit Tonto Dikeh from conducting similar deliverance rituals on minors in Nigeria in the future. Finally, the lawyer is demanding N200 million in damages for the alleged violations of the child’s rights to dignity and privacy.
