Malami Faces Fresh Investigation Over Arms Allegedly Found In Kebbi Residence

Wale busari04 mins

Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami (SAN), is facing a fresh investigation following the discovery of arms and ammunition allegedly found in his residence. According to a report by The Nation, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission uncovered the weapons during a search of Malami’s country home in Kebbi State. The EFCC was said to have handed over the arms to the Department of State Services, explaining that it lacks the constitutional mandate to investigate illegal possession of firearms. While the exact number of weapons could not be independently confirmed, sources disclosed that the quantity was substantial enough to trigger a full investigation by the DSS. This development comes amid Malami’s ongoing fraud trial. Last week, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Malami, his wife Asabe Bashir, and their son Abdulaziz Malami bail in the sum of N500 million each, with two sureties. Despite the ruling, Malami remains at the Kuje Correctional Centre after failing to meet the bail conditions. Sources suggested that Malami’s inability to perfect his bail may be linked to the DSS investigation into the weapons allegedly found in his Birnin Kebbi residence. “The former minister is being separately investigated for allegedly having arms in his house in Birnin Kebbi. The inventory of the find has been handed over to the DSS. It is now left to Malami to explain to the DSS how he came about the arms. That is why he is yet to perfect his bail conditions,” a source said. Another source added that DSS operatives are reportedly around the Kuje Correctional Centre to invite Malami for questioning, noting that he may be delaying his release to avoid immediate arrest. An EFCC source also dismissed claims circulating on social media that Malami had returned to Kebbi State, insisting that he remains in custody. “By our records, the former AGF is still in custody. We have seen several misleading clips online about his alleged arrival and reception in Kebbi State,” the source said. The source further revealed that investigations into Malami’s activities began as far back as 2019 and have continued across different leaderships at the EFCC. “There is nothing vindictive about this investigation. It started under former EFCC Acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu and continued through subsequent administrations to the current leadership. It is an inherited case, and Malami is fully aware of it.” Investigations into both the alleged arms discovery and the fraud charges against the former minister are ongoing.

Edo State Postpones School Resumption In Edo Central After Violent Protest Over Insecurity

Wale busari02 mins

The Edo State Government has postponed the resumption of all public and private schools in Edo Central Senatorial District indefinitely. In a statement on Monday, the Commissioner for Education, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, explained that the delay is to allow the state to address pressing issues and enhance the welfare of students. He said, “The new date of resumption will be duly communicated to the public in due course. Parents, guardians, and all education stakeholders within Edo Central Senatorial District are kindly requested to take note of this development and comply accordingly.” The announcement follows a violent turn during a peaceful protest over insecurity on Saturday in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area. Residents initially demonstrated against rising crime, including kidnappings and the killing of a youth on Friday night, blocking a major highway to voice their concerns. The protest was later hijacked by hoodlums, who attacked traders at the livestock market, slaughtered goats, beat cows, and caused panic, scenes widely circulated in viral videos. The rioters also vandalised the palace of the Onojie of Ekpoma, Zaiki Anthony Abumere II, drawing condemnation from Governor Okpebholo. The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikoedem, confirmed that one person was shot by a soldier during the unrest and that the matter has been referred to military authorities. The crisis has heightened concerns over security in the region, prompting the government to delay school activities until stability is restored.

Carter Efe’s Babymama Shares Videos, Alleges Abuse and Emotional Trauma

Wale busari03 mins

Carter Efe’s baby mama, Emmanuella, has shared new videos and photos online alleging abuse by the popular content creator, drawing widespread attention on social media. In her post, Emmanuella wrote: “This was the day I realized that I was just being used for ‘content’ while I was genuine. I felt so bad because everything I ever posted and did was from my heart. I mean, making couples content with your ‘man’ has never been a crime, but how this man treats me afterwards is ‘scary.’” She also revealed that another staff member noticed bruises on her body and asked her about them, though she initially pretended not to know what caused them. Reflecting on her pregnancy, she described it as “hell,” claiming, “Carter would hit me regardless of my condition, which made me a regular customer at Cedacare Hospital. Every staff there knew me to the point that immediately I step my foot in there, they already knew why I came. He would hit me, and when I run out of the house, he immediately calls his family to tell them.” Emmanuella’s posts suggest a pattern of physical and emotional abuse, with repeated episodes of intimidation and control throughout their relationship. The revelations follow Carter Efe’s public claim that they had been separated for over a year, prompting social media users to dig up old messages and videos that allegedly show instances of abuse. Carter Efe has not publicly responded to the latest allegations, while the discussion continues to trend across Instagram, X, and TikTok.

Fusengbuwa Ruling House Dismisses KWAM1’s Protest Over Awujale Selection As “Arrant Nonsense”

Wale busari03 mins

The Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ijebu land has dismissed claims by popular Fuji musician Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM1, that he is being unfairly excluded from the selection process for the next Awujale of Ijebu land. In a letter dated January 8, 2026, written by his lawyer Dr. Wahab Shittu (SAN), KWAM1 alleged that the ruling house, next in line to produce the new Awujale, issued directives that contradict the Chieftaincy Declaration and the Obas and Chiefs Law of Ogun State, claiming these measures were intended to prevent him from contesting for the throne. Reacting to the protest, the Vice Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Prof. Fassy Yusuf, described KWAM1’s claims as “arrant nonsense” and said they had no bearing on the selection process. Speaking on Sunday, Yusuf said: “It is a misguided letter. Either Wahab Shittu is being misled or Wasiu Ayinde is being misled. The issue raised about the screening is illogical. We have over 20,000 members in the ruling house. How does he expect us to manage the crowd? What is being talked about is illogical. The letter was directed to the government, so they will respond appropriately.” Yusuf confirmed that the family had scheduled Monday for the nomination meeting of aspirants for the vacant stool. The selection process for the new Awujale has attracted more than 60 aspirants, with KWAM1 publicly declaring his interest in the throne. The ruling house, however, maintains that the musician is not a member of their lineage and is therefore ineligible to participate. KWAM1 had earlier approached the Ogun State High Court in Ijebu-Ode seeking an interim injunction to halt the selection process, but the court dismissed the application for lack of merit. He later withdrew the suit through his lawyer, without giving a reason. Following intervention by the state government, the ruling house temporarily suspended the nomination process and has since restarted it to ensure proper procedure is followed.

Chimamanda Adichie, Husband Serve Legal Notice On Euracare Hospital Over Son’s Death

Wale busari02 mins

Chimamanda Adichie and her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, have taken legal action against Euracare Multi Specialist Hospital in Lagos following the death of their 21-month-old son, Nkanu Esege. The legal notice, dated January 10 and issued through lawyers led by Professor Kemi Pinheiro, accuses the hospital and its medical staff of negligence in the care provided to the child. The notice states that Nkanu was referred to Euracare from another medical facility for several diagnostic procedures, including a brain MRI, echocardiogram, lumbar puncture, and central line insertion, ahead of a planned medical evacuation to the United States. The family claims the child was sedated with propofol and suffered complications while being moved within the hospital. They allege that there was a lack of continuous monitoring, inadequate oxygen delivery, poor airway management, and insufficient medical supervision during the transfer between hospital areas. The notice demands that Euracare hand over all medical records related to Nkanu’s treatment within seven days. This includes consent forms, monitoring charts, procedural notes, ICU reports, and the identities of all medical personnel involved. The family also requested the preservation of all relevant evidence, including electronic records and CCTV footage, warning that non-compliance could lead to further legal and regulatory action. Euracare Hospital, while expressing sympathy for the family, denied any negligence. The hospital stated that Nkanu arrived in critical condition and that care was provided according to accepted medical standards. It also assured full cooperation with any investigation by regulatory authorities.

Emmanuella Breaks Silence, Denies Carter Efe’s Claims About Their Relationship

Wale busari02 mins

Emmanuella, mother of Carter Efe’s child, has spoken out after the streamer made several posts about her on social media. In a video statement, she refuted his claim that they had been single for over a year, revealing that they were intimate only three days before his post. She accused Carter Efe of trying to control her career, saying he discouraged her from working in a hospital, alleging she might use her job to pursue relationships with doctors despite her medical studies. Emmanuella also claimed he frequently boasted about giving her a platform, threatened to take it away, and warned he would post damaging content about her online. “He called me this morning and told me he gave me a platform and made people like me. He said he’s still going to take that platform away from me and that he’s about to post something,” she stated. Describing herself as emotionally drained and confused, Emmanuella said she understands why he might claim they are no longer together but stressed it is unfair to attack her publicly. “I’m happy you’re the one coming out to say all this about me because this is actually the right time. This is all I needed to come out and say my truth,” she added. My side of the story. pic.twitter.com/jLwUsx52k1 — Elma 🇳🇬 (@reignss_) January 11, 2026

Wike Says Only Tinubu Can Sack Him, Dismisses Calls For Removal As FCT Minister

Wale busari04 mins

Wike has responded to critics, saying only President Bola Tinubu has the authority to remove him as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), dismissing calls for his sack. The minister’s remarks come amid increasing pressure from political figures, especially within the All Progressives Congress (APC), who have linked their calls for his removal to tensions with his successor as Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. Groups such as the APC Leaders Forum (ALF) and the Tinubu/Shettima Solidarity Movement (TSSM) had issued an open letter urging Tinubu to dismiss Wike, citing alleged insubordination, anti-party activities, and threats to national unity. During a “thank you” visit to Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, Wike insisted that only the president can decide his fate. “If my appointor believes that I cannot offer anything again, he has the right. It’s not that you should tell him,” he said. Wike defended his performance in office, noting that the attention he receives is due to the results of his work in the FCT. “I am proud, and Rivers people are proud, and we can tell Nigerians that we have not disappointed them as far as FCT is concerned. If you are not doing well, nobody will talk about you. But because we are doing well, people must talk about us,” he added. He also criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his supporters who are positioning for the 2027 presidency, arguing that they lack the capacity to win based on past results. “Those who say they are coming from Atiku’s side—I don’t understand. People who couldn’t give Atiku Abubakar ten percent in 2023 are now claiming they can deliver the presidency. You want to deliver failure because he has never passed one day. “We are the ones who have been winning every election. Magnus can attest to that. How can somebody who failed come and lead their own campaign? What campaign will he lead? We have settled the issue of the presidency come 2027. The good thing is everybody is saying we support Tinubu. Let us wrestle this one here, and let’s see who will win.”
