King Charles III Urges Law To Take Its Course Following Prince Andrew’s Arrest

Wale busari05 mins

Britain’s King Charles III has said that “the law must take its course” following the arrest of his brother, Prince Andrew, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. In a statement from Buckingham Palace, the monarch said, “What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.” He added, “As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.” Thames Valley Police confirmed Andrew’s arrest on Thursday, along with searches at two addresses linked to him in Berkshire and Norfolk. “We have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody at this time,” the police said, without naming the individual in line with U.K. guidance. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said, “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office. It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.” Norfolk Police confirmed it is assisting with the inquiry. The arrest followed reports of unmarked police cars and plain-clothed officers at Andrew’s Norfolk residence, Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, early Thursday—coinciding with his 66th birthday. The allegations being investigated reportedly relate to Andrew’s time as the U.K.’s trade envoy, with claims he shared confidential government reports with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These reports are said to have included details of trips to Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam in 2010 and 2011. The allegations trace back to documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in its final disclosure of Epstein-related files. One email, addressed to “The Duke” and forwarded to Epstein, included reports on Southeast Asian visits, while another outlined a potential investment opportunity in Afghanistan. The investigation also follows scrutiny of a photograph showing Andrew leaning over a woman, whose identity and context remain unclear, and claims that Epstein sent a woman to Andrew at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2010. Thames Valley Police said all information is being assessed according to established procedures. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The renewed investigation has reignited questions about his connection to Epstein, who was first convicted in 2008 on charges related to prostitution, including involving a minor, and died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Out Of Marseille Race As Habib Beye Is Appointed

Wale busari03 mins

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle will not be joining Olympique Marseille, as the French Ligue 1 club has confirmed Habib Beye as their new head coach. Since the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations concluded in January, Chelle’s future has been a topic of intense speculation. The Malian coach had been linked to several prominent positions, including national team jobs in Angola, Tunisia, and Algeria, with his most recent strong connection being Marseille following the sacking of Roberto De Zerbi two weeks ago. Rumours about Chelle’s potential move to France were fueled by his deep ties to French football. Interest spiked on February 19 when he joined a new football agency, a move often interpreted as a precursor to a career change. The uncertainty surrounding Chelle’s future has created pressure on the Super Eagles, particularly with an upcoming FIFA international window. Nigeria is also awaiting the results of a FIFA inquiry into the DR Congo case, which could secure the team a place in the World Cup playoffs. Marseille’s decision to hire Beye ends any chance of Chelle taking over at the Stade Vélodrome. However, other African nations continue to monitor him closely. With only a year remaining on his contract and no extension yet from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chelle’s departure from the national team remains a possibility. Some interested countries could also guarantee him a spot at this year’s World Cup—something Nigeria cannot presently assure. Although the NFF has expressed a desire to retain Chelle, formalising a contract extension will be essential to putting an end to speculation over his future.

Beautiful Nubia Accuses Yinka Ayefele And BBO Of Copying 1997 Melody

Wale busari02 mins

Nigerian folk singer Beautiful Nubia has accused gospel musicians Yinka Ayefele and fast-rising artist BBO of using the melody of his 1997 classic, Seven Lifes, without permission or credit. Sharing his concerns on Thursday via his X account, the singer, whose real name is Segun Akinlolu, expressed frustration over what he described as repeated copyright infringement by fellow Nigerian musicians. Beautiful Nubia cited Yinka Ayefele’s 2012 song My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti) and BBO’s 2026 track Amin as examples, claiming both drew heavily from the melody of Seven Lifes. “There was Yinka Ayefele with ‘My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)’ in 2012 and now someone called BBO with ‘Amin’ this year. Both stole their melodies from our original song ‘Seven Lifes,’” he wrote. He also criticized gospel musicians in particular for neglecting intellectual property rights, asking, “When will Nigerians (especially the so-called gospel musicians) learn to respect copyright?” Neither Yinka Ayefele nor BBO has responded publicly to the claims as of this report.

As head of the Senate Committee on Works, Mpigi supervised federal road and infrastructure projects across Nigeria. Colleagues remember him as a dedicated lawmaker committed to accountability and excellence in public service. Tributes continue to pour in from lawmakers and political leaders, praising his service to Rivers State and the nation. The Senate is expected to officially announce his passing and carry out formal proceedings in his honour.

Wale busari02 mins

Dele Momodu has reassured his niece, Sophia Momodu, that her custody battle with Davido will be resolved positively. In an Instagram post from Liberia, where he is currently visiting, Momodu revealed he has received messages from fans of both Sophia and Davido. He shared that one of Sophia’s supporters, a fashion designer, encouraged him to intervene and help settle the dispute. Momodu assured Sophia that he is working behind the scenes to ensure everything will be fine. He wrote: “Here in Liberia, @davido is treated as the god of music. I’ve been visiting here for over two decades, but this visit is different. I came to commiserate with my friend and Sister, former Vice President H.E. Dr Jewel Howard-Taylor, on the passing of her only child, Charles Philip Neilsen Taylor Jr. Since landing here, I have been inundated with messages from fans of David, and ladies who love @thesophiamomodu to bits… One of them is this ‘fashion designer’ @lorine.doe who said I should step in and settle the ‘quarrels.’ My dear Sister, thanks so much. Nothing to worry about. Everything is going to be alright. We are working behind the scenes. Please keep everyone in your prayers.” The development comes after reports that Davido lost his temper in court during cross-examination, prompting his lawyer to describe the scene as chaotic. Davido later announced he would drop the case in favor of joint custody, pledging to ensure his daughter knows he fought for her.

Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Requests $130,000 Monthly Contract With Full Staff and Benefits

Wale busari03 mins

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is reportedly pushing for a new contract that could see his monthly earnings rise to $130,000. Currently earning around $50,000 per month from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Malian tactician has recently changed agents and has been linked with a potential role at Marseille. Reports from Shina Oludare of FlashScore clarify that the $130,000 figure is intended to cover Chelle, his entire technical staff, and his personal assistant, not the previously cited $100,000. Among his other demands are a private SUV with a chauffeur and security, a residence in a secure location with 24-hour electricity, a fully furnished office with a projector for match analysis, internet access, and flight tickets for his wife and two children—business class for himself and his wife, economy for the children. He is also requesting GPS tracking and all necessary coaching equipment. Chelle is seeking full authority over international friendly matches, training camps, youth development programs, and the ability to travel abroad to monitor national team players. He also wants permission to attend domestic league matches to identify talents for the senior national team, U23, U20, and U17 squads. Additional conditions reportedly include no interference in player selection and call-ups, and contractual guarantees for his staff, including timely payment of salaries by the 30th of each month, bonuses and allowances according to NFF policy, with his personal assistant included in the bonus structure. Chelle’s outlined terms state: “The NFF has to issue a working contract for my staff, salary needs to be paid on or before 30th of every month, bonus and allowance as per federation structure, request to include my PA in the bonus and allowance structure, proposed salary of $130,000.00 monthly. The amount includes all technical staffs and PA and monthly meeting with all the national team coaches.”

Rivers Assembly Halts Impeachment Proceedings Against Governor Fubara

Wale busari02 mins

The Rivers State House of Assembly has paused the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, following earlier intervention by President Bola Tinubu. The decision was made Thursday during a plenary session at the Assembly’s resumed sitting in Port Harcourt. Earlier this year, the House had launched impeachment proceedings against Fubara and Odu over alleged gross misconduct. During the first 2026 session, Majority Leader Major Jack read out a notice listing accusations against the governor and his deputy, including the demolition of the Assembly complex, unauthorized spending, withholding funds intended for the Assembly Service Commission, and ignoring a Supreme Court ruling on legislative financial autonomy. The allegations were issued under Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). On January 16, 2026, the Assembly requested the state Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi, to set up a seven-member panel to investigate the claims. Justice Amadi, however, declined, citing a standing High Court order that prevented him from taking further action. Fubara and Odu had obtained separate injunctions from the High Court in Port Harcourt to stop the Chief Judge from constituting the panel, and the Chief Judge noted that the Speaker and the Assembly had appealed the restraining order.
