Wale busari02 mins

North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, surprised fans with an edgy makeover on TikTok, showing off a faux septum piercing, temporary tattoos, and bold accessories. In the photos and clips shared on her joint TikTok account with her mother, North wore her dark hair in four long braids streaked with blue highlights. She added playful face tattoos — including a star beneath one eye and her name written in cursive on her cheek — while also sporting bright blue contact lenses, dramatic lashes, a black grill, and the fake nose ring. Her outfit matched the bold vibe: an oversized black T-shirt paired with layers of silver chains, pearls, and cross pendants. She completed the look with a henna-style hand tattoo and pink glittery jewelry. North posed alongside two friends dressed in similar coordinated outfits, captioning her post with heart emojis and the hashtag “#northforever.” In a follow-up clip, she made it clear that her dramatic look was just for fun, writing, “Fake piercings and fake tatts 4 life.” The post quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online. While some social media users were taken aback by the mature styling — with one asking, “She’s TWELVE??” — others defended the young star, pointing out that it was harmless fun. “It’s not that deep — everything’s fake,” one person wrote, while another added, “Most of us played with fake tattoos at that age too.”

Nnamdi Kanu Lists Malami, Wike, Buratai, Others As Witnesses In Terrorism Trial

Wale busari05 mins

Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has named former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami among witnesses he intends to call in his ongoing terrorism trial. In a fresh motion he personally signed and filed before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Kanu expressed readiness to begin his defence as directed by the court. According to court documents sighted by the News Agency of Nigeria, the motion—filed on October 21 and marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015—was titled “Notice of Number and Names of Witnesses to be Called by the Defendant and Request for Witness Summons/Subpoena and the Variation of the Time Within Which to Defend the Counts/Charges Against the Defendant.” Kanu stated that the application was in compliance with the court’s October 16 order directing him to open his defence on October 24, 2025. He disclosed plans to call a total of 23 witnesses divided into two categories: “ordinary but material witnesses” and “vital and compellable” witnesses who would be summoned under Section 232 of the Evidence Act, 2011. The IPOB leader asked the court to grant him 90 days to conclude his defence, assuring that he would personally testify, provide a sworn statement denying all allegations, and explain the political context of his words and actions. Among those listed as “compellable witnesses” are the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; former Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd); former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Buratai (rtd); Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma; Minister of Works, Dave Umahi; former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu; former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Rufai Abubakar; and former Director-General of the Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi. Kanu pledged to submit sworn statements from all voluntary witnesses and to promptly notify the prosecution, stressing that he had no intention of wasting the court’s time. He added that it was in the interest of both the court and the public “that justice is not only done but seen to have been done.” The motion comes shortly after Kanu filed a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court to continue hearing his case. The objection was filed on the same day a team of medical experts appointed by the court submitted a report confirming that Kanu is medically fit to stand trial. Meanwhile, a magistrate court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered the remand of Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, and 12 others arrested during a protest organised by activist Omoyele Sowore on Monday. The police charged the 13 individuals with criminal conspiracy, disobedience of lawful order, inciting disturbance, and public disturbance—offences contrary to Sections 152, 114, and 113 of the Penal Code Law. Those remanded alongside Ejimakor include Kanu’s younger brother, Emmanuel; Joshua Emmanuel; Wilson Anyalewechi; Okere Nnamdi; Clinton Chimeneze; Gabriel Joshua; Isiaka Husseini; Onyekachi Ferdinand; Amadi Prince; Edison Ojisom; Godwill Obioma; and Chima Onuchukwu. The magistrate directed that all 13 be kept at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending their arraignment on October 24.

Ondo Police Remove DPO Over Mishandling Of Mandykiss Cyberbullying Case

Ondo Police Remove DPO Over Mishandling Of Mandykiss Cyberbullying Case

Wale busari03 mins

The Ondo State Police Command has redeployed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Enu-Owa Division in Ondo West Local Government Area over what it described as unprofessional conduct in the handling of a case involving social media influencer Mandykiss. Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Lawal, announced the decision on Tuesday after a viral video showed Mandykiss recording and taking pictures of two female suspects inside a police station — a scene that sparked widespread public criticism. The controversy began on Saturday when Mandykiss confronted a woman and her daughter, identified as Mrs. Akinwole Sabitu and Miss Akinwole Oyindamola, over allegations of repeated cyberbullying. The confrontation, which initially started online, escalated into a police matter after the influencer and her followers reportedly tracked down the suspects. Lawal explained that preliminary findings revealed no police officers were present during the alleged arrest of the two women. Instead, the suspects were brought to the Enu-Owa Division by Mandykiss and some of her supporters. The influencer was later seen filming herself with the suspects inside her vehicle and within the police premises before posting the footage online. The commissioner condemned the development, describing it as a breach of professional ethics and a violation of the suspects’ right to presumption of innocence. “This incident reflects a lack of proper supervision and professionalism at the divisional level. The command will not tolerate any action capable of undermining public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force,” Lawal stated. He stressed that photographing or filming suspects in custody contravenes ethical standards and human rights principles. According to him, the redeployment of the DPO became necessary to restore discipline and integrity within the command. Lawal further reminded officers of their duty to protect the rights of all parties involved in police matters, urging them to uphold professionalism, fairness, and respect for the rule of law at all times.

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has presented 28 brand-new official cars to Permanent Secretaries in the state civil service as part of efforts to strengthen efficiency and restore pride in the public sector. The vehicles were handed over on Tuesday evening during a brief ceremony at the newly commissioned Michael Okpara Auditorium in Umuahia. Speaking at the event, Governor Otti said the gesture was aimed at making the work of the Permanent Secretaries easier and more effective. “Gone are the days of coming to work with keke. Your documents are ready, including all amortization details, but you don’t have to pay anything. These cars are yours,” he said. He explained that the initiative reflects his administration’s resolve to equip the civil service with the necessary tools for better service delivery. Otti stressed that the appointments of the Permanent Secretaries were based strictly on merit and competence, noting that the process was transparent and free of favoritism. “All of you attained this position on your own merit. Even those I knew personally didn’t make it because the process was transparently conducted,” he stated. The governor also commended the Permanent Secretaries for their cooperation and dedication, describing them as vital to the implementation of his administration’s programmes and policies. According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, Otti expressed confidence that the new vehicles would enhance productivity and motivate the officials to deliver improved service. He reaffirmed his commitment to transforming the state’s civil service through technology and digital reforms aimed at promoting efficiency and accountability. “As we embark on this next phase of civil service transformation, I’m counting on you to drive the digitalization process. I’ve approved the purchase of internet-ready devices for everyone, and we’re working to make the entire state internet connected,” Otti added. In a vote of thanks, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Lands, TPL Ukpabi Ukeje, speaking on behalf of his colleagues, expressed deep appreciation to the governor for the gesture and prayed for God’s guidance and strength for him. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Sir Chris Onwuegbu, described the donation as a morale booster that would further motivate them to deliver quality service.

Lagos Director Dies In Hit-And-Run Crash Four Days To Retirement And 60th Birthday Celebration

Wale busari03 mins

A senior Lagos State Government official, Mrs. Serifat Talabi, has died in a tragic hit-and-run accident just four days before her long-awaited retirement and 60th birthday celebration. Talabi, who was the Director of Procurement at the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), was knocked down on Saturday while crossing the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near the Redemption Camp in Ogun State. A civil service source confirmed that the incident occurred suddenly as Talabi attempted to cross the busy road. “She was hit by a speeding vehicle that fled the scene immediately. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival,” the source said. The late director had spent decades in public service and was set to retire officially on Monday, October 13. However, her farewell event — which was also meant to mark her 60th birthday — had been shifted to Wednesday, October 22, to allow the agency’s General Manager to attend. “She had already printed and distributed invitation cards to her colleagues, friends, and family members,” another source said. “Everyone was preparing to celebrate her achievements and milestone birthday when the news of her death broke. It’s heartbreaking.” Her colleagues at LASRRA described her as a dedicated and warm-hearted civil servant who was looking forward to her retirement after years of service to Lagos State. The family has since released her burial arrangements. A wake will be held on October 23, 2025, followed by a burial service on October 24, both at her residence, 10 Ore-Ofe Street, Ara Hall Bus Stop, Ibafo, Ogun State. What was meant to be a week of celebration has now turned into one of mourning, as family, friends, and colleagues struggle to come to terms with the sudden loss of Serifat Talabi — a woman remembered for her diligence, kindness, and lifelong dedication to public service.
