Iranian Hardline Hijab Enforcer Faces Backlash After Daughter Weds in Strapless Gown

Wale busari02 mins

The daughter of Iran’s hardline hijab enforcer, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, has drawn widespread criticism after her wedding featured a revealing dress and exposed hair, sharply contrasting with the strict hijab rules he enforces. Viral footage shows Fatemeh Setayesh in a strapless gown with a plunging neckline and a veil that left her hair visible. The luxurious ceremony, held last year at Tehran’s Espinas Palace Hotel, also showcased Shamkhani’s wife in a backless lace gown and other female guests without hijabs. Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, is notorious for overseeing crackdowns on women defying mandatory hijab laws. The wedding video has sparked outrage over perceived hypocrisy, with Iranians criticizing leaders who enforce strict public rules while privately disregarding them, exposing a stark contrast between the freedoms of the elite and the restrictions imposed on ordinary women.

Police Explains Why Omoyele Sowore Was Arrested Over Abuja Protest

Wale busari02 mins

The Nigeria Police Force has clarified that activist Omoyele Sowore was arrested to ensure fairness in prosecuting those involved in Monday’s protest in Abuja. Force Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin told journalists on Thursday in Abuja that Sowore allegedly led protesters into a restricted area during a demonstration in support of the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. His arrest, Hundeyin said, was necessary to hold all participants, including their leader, accountable. “If we charge some people and leave out the person who led them into committing that act, that would not be fair. In the spirit of fair play and to ensure justice is served, Omoyele Sowore was arrested today,” he explained. The police emphasized that Sowore’s detention would not exceed the legal limit and that he would be arraigned in court the same day. “Like the others, he won’t spend up to 24 hours with us. Once we finalise the charges, he’ll be prosecuted immediately. If all goes as planned, he’ll be taken to court today,” Hundeyin added. Sowore was reportedly apprehended at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday shortly after meeting with Kanu during the latter’s ongoing terrorism trial.

Dangote Group Denies Involvement In Fatal Akungba-Akoko Truck Crash

Dangote Group Denies Involvement In Fatal Akungba-Akoko Truck Crash

Wale busari03 mins

The Dangote Group has denied claims that one of its trucks was involved in the fatal accident in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, which claimed eight lives. The crash, confirmed by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), involved a truck and a commercial bus in Akoko South-West Local Government Area. FRSC’s Public Education Officer in Ondo, Abiola Fadumo, stated that the collision led to multiple fatalities. In a statement on Thursday via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, Dangote Group clarified that the truck with Plate No. JJJ 365 XB is not owned by the company or any of its subsidiaries. The company said registration records show the vehicle belongs to an independent logistics firm unconnected to Dangote Group. The truck was reportedly carrying crushed stones packed in reused sacks with various brand names, and not any Dangote products. “For the avoidance of doubt, the truck was not conveying any Dangote products but was transporting crushed stones in reused sacks bearing various brand names,” the statement read. Dangote Group emphasized that its trucks are easily identifiable with distinct company markings and fleet numbers and are operated only by trained personnel under strict safety and regulatory compliance protocols. While expressing condolences to the victims and their families, the company urged the public and media to verify information before linking any accident or vehicle to Dangote. It also warned against using images of Dangote-branded trucks in unrelated news reports. “Dangote Industries remains steadfast in its commitment to road safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible corporate citizenship across all its operations in Nigeria and beyond,” the statement concluded.

Federal High Court Reschedules Hearing Against Sowore Over #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protest To October 29

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled October 29 for the hearing of a suit filed by the police against Omoyele Sowore and other organizers of the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest held on October 20. The case, initially set for October 20 for the respondents in an ex parte motion to show cause why the interim order should be vacated, could not proceed due to the protest, which disrupted court activities that day. Justice Mohammed Umar had earlier issued an interim order restraining Sowore and others from staging protests for the release of Nnamdi Kanu in sensitive areas of Abuja, including Aso Rock Villa, the National Assembly, Force Headquarters, Court of Appeal, Eagle Square, and Shehu Shagari Way, pending the hearing of the motion on notice. The judge also granted an abridgment of time for the respondents to respond to the application on notice, originally set for 9:00 a.m. on October 20, before adjourning to the new hearing date. The ex parte motion was filed by police lawyer Wisdom Madaki on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Police Force, in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2202/2025, listed Sowore, Sahara Reporters Ltd, and Sahara Reporters’ Media Foundation as the first to third respondents. The Take It Back Movement (TIB) for the Transformation of Nigeria, any organization or person acting with express or implied instruction, and unknown persons were included as the fourth and fifth respondents. In an affidavit supporting the motion, police officer Bassey Ibithan, attached to the Directorate of Legal Services at Force Headquarters, Abuja, warned that the protest could pose a threat to national security if not restrained. Sowore, a former 2019 and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (ACC), had mobilized for what he described as a peaceful protest demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Several individuals were reportedly arrested during the protest, including Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, who is scheduled for arraignment on October 24 at a Kuje Magistrate Court in Abuja.
