K1 Appeals To Ogun Governor Over Alleged Exclusion From Awujale Nomination Process

Wale busari04 mins

Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Adesanya, popularly known as K1, has formally petitioned Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, raising concerns over his exclusion from the process to select nominees for the vacant Awujale of Ijebuland stool. In the petition dated January 8, 2026, and submitted through his lawyer Wahab K. Shittu, SAN, K1 urged the governor to ensure that the nomination exercise adheres strictly to established laws and procedures. He called on the Ogun State Executive Council to intervene, describing attempts to sideline him and other eligible princes as deliberate and unlawful. K1 alleged that leaders of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House were introducing measures that could unfairly bar certain family members from participating in the selection. He argued that steps taken so far by the Ijebu-Ode Local Government and the ruling house violated due process and existing legal frameworks. The musician also challenged directives requiring aspirants to purchase nomination forms and undergo screening, stating that these demands are not provided for under the Chieftaincy Declaration or the Obas and Chiefs Laws of Ogun State. The petition noted that the Secretary of Ijebu-Ode Local Government had, in a letter dated January 6, 2026, instructed the Fusengbuwa Ruling House to convene a statutory family meeting within 14 days to nominate candidates. However, K1 claimed a subsequent notice, issued by Prince Adeleye Lateef Ademuyiwa, the family’s Public Relations Officer, introduced additional procedures including screening and delegate-based nominations. According to the notice, the nomination exercise is scheduled for January 12, 2026, at the Bisrod Event Centre, Ijebu-Ode, with a prior meeting to select delegates on January 10. K1’s lawyer described these developments as illegal, warning that they could disenfranchise legitimate members of the ruling house. The petition emphasized that every qualified member has the right to participate freely in the nomination process and that no faction should dominate it. The petition further stressed that imposing screening panels and delegate systems contradicts the Chieftaincy Declaration and the Obas and Chiefs Laws of Ogun State, 2021, and could lead to avoidable disputes. K1 urged Governor Abiodun to act swiftly to uphold fairness and transparency, adding that any attempt to unlawfully bar him from participating would be strongly contested. It is recalled that K1 had previously withdrawn a case at the Ogun State High Court in Ijebu-Ode, where he had challenged claims that he was not a recognized member of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House. The Fusengbuwa Ruling House is expected to hold the nomination exercise on Monday at the Bisrod Event Centre, Ijebu-Ode, unless there is a last-minute change.

Donald Trump Declares Himself Acting President of Venezuela After Maduro’s Capture

Wale busari04 mins

Donald Trump has declared himself “Acting President of Venezuela, Incumbent January 2026” in a social media post styled like an edited Wikipedia page. The post included his official portrait and listed him as both the 45th and 47th President of the United States, the statement was said. The claim is not reflected on Wikipedia and has not been recognized by any international organization, the report was said. The announcement followed a United States military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who were flown to New York to face federal drug trafficking and narcoterrorism charges. The operation came after months of US pressure, sanctions, and military activity targeting Venezuela, the report was said. Maduro has described his removal as a “kidnapping,” while countries including China, Russia, Colombia, and Spain condemned the action as a violation of international law, analysts said. Hours after Maduro’s ouster, Trump announced that the United States would temporarily govern Venezuela, citing security concerns and the need for a controlled transition, the statement was said. He added that the US would oversee Venezuelan oil production and sales to global markets during this period, the statement was said. Inside Venezuela, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim President by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice. Rodríguez rejected US authority, demanded Maduro’s release, and reaffirmed him as the nation’s rightful leader, the report was said. Trump warned that Rodríguez could “pay a very big price” if she did not cooperate, suggesting the consequences could be even more severe than those facing Maduro, who remains in US custody, the statement was said. Trump also took credit after Venezuelan authorities announced the release of political prisoners as a gesture toward peace. On Truth Social, he said the releases had occurred “in a big way” following US action and warned the freed prisoners to “never forget it,” the statement was said. The US President further called on major American oil companies to invest up to $100 billion in Venezuela to expand the country’s oil production. He said the US would determine which companies could operate in Venezuela and assist in rebuilding its oil sector, the statement was said. He also praised an agreement with Venezuela’s interim leadership to supply 50 million barrels of crude oil to the United States, adding that deliveries could continue indefinitely and help lower US energy prices, the statement was said.

Panic In Oyo Community As Suspected Bandits Drop Threatening Attack Notes In Ikoyi-Ile

Wale busari06 mins

Fear and uncertainty have taken hold in Ikoyi-Ile, a community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, after threatening messages believed to be from suspected bandits were discovered, prompting swift action from security agencies. The discovery sparked panic among residents after rumours spread that armed attackers were planning to strike the town. The Oyo State Police Command confirmed the incident on Saturday, noting that the messages had raised serious security concerns within the community. Ikoyi-Ile is located in the same local government area where five forest guards were recently killed near the Old Oyo National Park, a development that had already heightened anxiety among locals. Investigations showed that two separate notes were allegedly dropped at different sections of a building in the town, one at the front and another at the rear. Both messages reportedly warned of an attack planned for Tuesday, January 20, 2026. One of the notes, handwritten in Yoruba and unsigned, was reportedly titled “Lati Odo Bandit” and threatened that the town would be invaded on the stated date. The wording urged residents to prepare for the arrival of the attackers, using language described as hostile and intimidating. The second note, written in English, carried a similar warning. It claimed the writers had been “working” for three days and alleged they were sent by the government to Ikoyi-Ile, ending with a message telling residents to expect their arrival. Although the true origin of the notes and any confirmed link to bandit groups have not been established, their appearance has created widespread tension across the community. Reacting to the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that investigations had commenced and security measures had been intensified. He disclosed that the individual who reportedly found the notes is currently being questioned. “The person who allegedly discovered the notes is presently undergoing debriefing, and the Command has commenced a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the origin and intention behind the messages. “The Oyo State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that it has received credible information regarding a handwritten note, written in both Yoruba and English languages, allegedly dropped in front of a residential building in Ikoyi-Ile, Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State. The note is purported to have been authored by suspected bandits, threatening an attack on the Ikoyi-Ile community. “Upon receipt of this report, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Femi Haruna, PSC (+), immediately activated the Command’s intelligence, tactical, and operational response architecture. “The State Intelligence Department (SID), in close collaboration with tactical units, was directed to commence intensive debriefing of all persons connected with the discovery of the note, while operational assets were promptly deployed and repositioned within Ikoyi-Ile and its surrounding communities. “As part of deliberate and visible security actions, armed patrols, stop-and-search operations, intelligence surveillance, and strategic area domination have been significantly reinforced. “Police personnel are currently on 24-hour high alert, with sustained ground presence to deny criminal elements any opportunity to operate or exploit the situation. The Area Command has equally been directed to maintain constant supervision and continuous patrol coverage across the affected axis. “The Oyo State Police Command has launched a thorough and intelligence-driven investigation into the origin, authenticity, and intent of the said note. “The Command wishes to state unequivocally that every lead is being pursued, and no effort will be spared in uncovering the truth behind this threat and ensuring that any individuals or groups found responsible are decisively dealt with in accordance with the law.” The police assured residents that the situation is being treated with utmost seriousness and appealed for calm, stressing that security operatives remain fully deployed as investigations continue.

Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush were key as Egypt defeated defending champions Ivory Coast 3-2 to advance to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, setting up a blockbuster clash with Senegal. The Pharaohs struck early when Marmoush capitalised on a midfield error to fire Egypt ahead inside four minutes.

Egypt extended their lead on 32 minutes as Salah’s corner found Ramy Rabia, who rose highest to head home from close range. Seven minutes later, the Elephants pulled one back when Ahmed Abou El Fotouh inadvertently diverted Diomande’s delivery into his own net. After the break, Egypt regained a two-goal cushion when Rabia’s sweeping pass set up Emam Ashour, whose low cross was finished confidently by Salah. Ivory Coast responded again, with Guela Doue scoring from a scramble following a corner to make it 3-2. Despite late pressure from the holders, Egypt held on to secure their place in the semi-finals and move a step closer to claiming a record eighth AFCON title.
