Olasco Films Labels Wale Akorede And Austin Emmanuel Ingrates, Denies Allegations
Veteran Nollywood movie marketer Akeem Olatunji Balogun, popularly known as Olasco Films, has hit back at actors Wale Akorede and Austin Emmanuel, labeling them ingrates over recent allegations against him. Olasco made the comments while responding to claims from the actors in separate interviews. Wale Akorede had earlier accused Olasco of allegedly keeping all the proceeds from a movie produced for him about 16 years ago, saying he has not forgiven the filmmaker for the incident. Similarly, Austin Emmanuel claimed that Olasco Films and its affiliate, Toymax Films, had blacklisted him in the industry. Emmanuel, who has been absent from the screen for years, also alleged that Toymax had a personal dispute involving his girlfriend. Speaking in an interview with actor Tunde Ola-Yusuf, Olasco dismissed the allegations, insisting he had supported both actors at different points in their careers. He revealed that he had paid Akorede ₦2 million for the movie, at a time when production costs typically ranged between ₦700,000 and ₦1 million. Describing his relationship with Akorede as akin to helping someone only to be forgotten, Olasco insisted the claims of unpaid work were false. He also suggested that Austin Emmanuel’s accusations were an attempt to gain attention, noting that he had promoted the film that first brought Emmanuel into the spotlight.

Neo Akpofure Gives 48-Hour Ultimatum Over Rape Allegation, Threatens Defamation Suit
Big Brother Naija star Neo Akpofure has moved to take legal action against a woman who accused him of rape on X, demanding an immediate retraction and public apology. The allegation was made in a post dated February 17, 2026, by a user identified as “the violently wicked (@notralia),” who claimed that Neo raped her while they were students at the University of Calabar (UNICAL). In the post, she stated that they had been “casual sex buddies” with an understanding that he was not in a relationship, but alleged that he raped her after she confronted him about discovering otherwise. In response, Neo’s lawyers issued a strongly worded letter titled “Demand for Retraction and Public Apology for the Defamatory Publication Against Our Client, Mr. Neo Akpofure.” The legal team described the accusation as false, malicious, and defamatory, arguing that the claim has severely damaged Neo’s reputation and portrayed him as a criminal. They noted that the accuser acknowledged a consensual relationship in her own statement, insisting that the rape allegation is entirely untrue. According to the letter, the publication constitutes actionable libel under Nigerian law and exposes the accuser to civil liability and potential criminal consequences. Neo’s lawyers gave the woman 48 hours to delete the post and any related content, issue a clear public retraction stating that the allegation was false, publish a public apology on her X profile, and provide a written undertaking not to make further defamatory statements about him. They warned that failure to comply within the stipulated time would lead to the commencement of legal proceedings, including a civil defamation suit and other remedies available under Nigerian law. The development has since triggered widespread reactions online, with many debating the allegation and Neo’s decision to pursue legal redress.

“We Never Heard Any Shout” – Mirabel’s Neighbor Disputes TikToker’s Rape Claims, Highlights Inconsistencies
A neighbour of TikToker Mirabel, whose viral video alleging she was raped sparked widespread attention, has come forward disputing her account. The man, who lives next door to Mirabel, said he heard no shouting or signs of distress at the time she claims the attack occurred. He also questioned her story about her mother’s recent death, pointing out inconsistencies with her social media posts. “The r@pe did not happen. I did not hear any shouting when the alleged incident occurred,” the neighbour said. “She said her mum passed away a few days ago, and the whole compound contributed money for her. Probably, she lied. I checked her page and saw that she posted about her mum’s passing last December.” He added that Mirabel has been seen with a man who frequently visits her home, saying, “I’ve seen her with a man before. He comes around often, and they take some things. I don’t believe her story.” The neighbour also claimed that on the morning of the alleged incident, he saw Mirabel leaving the compound, walking normally in baggy jeans, and being picked up by a man. Mirabel’s original video, which described a violent attack inside her home, had prompted authorities, including the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, to reach out to her and offer support while investigations continue. “Who untied her. None of us are aware of anything. I didn’t go to church, I’m a Muslim. 1 of us was washing clothes outside that morning.” – Neighbors of TikToker Mirabel denounce her grape allegations, accuse her of lying about timing of mother’s death before pic.twitter.com/7tWuQcUJtG — Dockaysworld.NG (@dockaysworld) February 18, 2026
