Wale busari03 mins

A Delta State High Court in Orerokpe has issued an interim injunction preventing the Nigeria Police Force from enforcing the tinted glass permit policy set to take effect on January 2, 2026. The ruling was delivered on Wednesday by Justice Joe Egwu in a suit filed by Israel Joe against the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command. The case is filed under HOR/FHR/M/31/2025. Joe had asked the court to stop the police from implementing or continuing the tinted glass permit policy until the main suit is heard. He also requested that the police be barred from stopping, harassing, arresting, detaining, extorting, or infringing on his constitutional rights and those of other motorists under the guise of enforcing the policy. The court granted the motion ex parte, approving all the reliefs sought by Joe. It restrained the police from enforcing the tinted glass permit policy pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit. Justice Egwu also prohibited the police from violating the constitutional rights of the applicant and other citizens, including the rights to dignity, privacy, freedom of movement, and property ownership. Additionally, the court barred the respondents from using the Parkway Projects account, described as a private account, for any government transactions until the suit is resolved. Substituted service was granted on the first and second respondents through the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, at the police headquarters in Asaba. The applicant was absent during the proceedings but was represented by a legal team led by Kunle Edun (SAN). The ex parte motion dated December 17, 2025, was granted, and the matter was adjourned to December 24, 2025, for the hearing of the motion on notice.

Davido Explains How “With You” With Omah Lay Came From A Simple Misunderstanding

Wale busari02 mins

Afrobeat superstar Davido has revealed how his collaboration with Omah Lay came about, sharing that the partnership nearly didn’t happen due to a simple misunderstanding. Last year, Omah Lay admitted he initially thought Davido “hated” him—until the DMW boss played his music during a livestream with American streamer Kai Cenat in Lagos. Surprised, Omah Lay tweeted about the moment, expressing disbelief that Davido had given him a shoutout despite them never having met. Davido quickly reached out via direct message to clarify, asking why Omah Lay assumed that, and their collaboration began. Davido explained: “Kai Cenat came to Nigeria and I was driving him to the club. Then Omah Lay’s song came up, and he was like, ‘Who is this?’ I said, ‘Oh! This is Omah Lay, he’s hot.’” They exchanged numbers, shared music ideas, and recorded four songs together, with Omah Lay ultimately choosing “With You” for release. The track has since become a standout on Davido’s fifth album, 5ive, and is now nominated for Best African Music Performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Fans have praised Davido for supporting younger artists and staying humble, while Omah Lay was applauded for his honesty about his initial doubts. What began as a tweet and a misunderstanding turned into a Grammy-nominated hit, proving that open communication and genuine collaboration can create musical magic. "Why would you think I hate you?" How Kai Cenat's visit to Nigeria inspired Davido's collaboration with Omah Lay. pic.twitter.com/jY2CsEWYL4 — @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) December 16, 2025

Doris Ogala Sues Pastor Chris Okafor For N1 Billion Over Broken Marriage Promise

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has slapped Pastor Chris Okafor with a ₦1 billion lawsuit, accusing him of breaking a long-standing promise to marry her and instead marrying another woman. Ogala’s lawyers said their client’s relationship with Okafor began in 2017, during a period of marital difficulty. They claim the pastor repeatedly promised marriage, introduced her to his family, and even involved her in family events, creating a clear expectation of wedlock. The legal team said Ogala relied on the promise, leaving her troubled marriage and entrusting Okafor with ₦45 million in a single transaction. The lawsuit alleges that his public engagement to another woman caused emotional trauma, reputational harm, cyberbullying, and unauthorized circulation of private photographs, resulting in severe psychological and health consequences. While the letter acknowledges that marriage cannot be enforced by law, Ogala’s team is demanding ₦1 billion in damages for the emotional, physical, and reputational harm she suffered. They have given Okafor 21 days to settle the claim before pursuing court action. The case has drawn widespread attention online, with many following the drama and awaiting a response from Pastor Okafor.

CAN Condemns Ini Edo’s Nollywood Film A Very Dirty Christmas, Calls Title Offensive to Christian Faith

Wale busari04 mins

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has criticised the title of the newly released Nollywood film, A Very Dirty Christmas, describing it as offensive to the Christian faith and calling for a review by relevant regulatory authorities. In a statement released on Tuesday, CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh said Christmas is a sacred period that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and should not be presented in a way that undermines its spiritual significance. He argued that associating the word “dirty” with Christmas diminishes the essence of a celebration that represents purity, peace, love, and redemption. The statement read in part: “The Christian Association of Nigeria is deeply troubled by the title of the movie: ‘A Very Dirty Christmas,’ which it considers offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. “Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love, and redemption. “Linking such a holy celebration with the word ‘dirty’ diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.” While acknowledging the importance of creative freedom in filmmaking, CAN emphasised that such freedom must be exercised with restraint and sensitivity, particularly in a religiously diverse country like Nigeria. The statement continued: “CAN therefore calls on the National Film and Video Censors Board to explain how the title was approved for public exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season. “CAN also urges industry bodies such as the Actors Guild of Nigeria and other stakeholders in Nollywood to take a clear stand on the use of religious themes and symbols in ways that may offend faith communities.” CAN also appealed to the film’s producer, Ini Edo, to be sensitive to public concerns and take steps to address them. The association warned that trivialising sacred values at a time when the country faces moral and social challenges could deepen divisions and erode mutual respect. Produced by Ini Edo and directed by Akay Mason, A Very Dirty Christmas premiered in cinemas nationwide on December 16, 2025. The film tells the story of a Christmas family reunion thrown into chaos by unresolved secrets and past trauma, turning the festive season into a period of emotional turmoil.

Malami Alleges EFCC Raids Offices and Homes Over Salami Report Reference

Wale busari03 mins

Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has alleged that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) raided his offices and residences in Abuja and Kebbi State. According to a statement issued Wednesday by Malami’s office, the raids were carried out shortly after he publicly referenced Chapter 9 of the Justice Ayo Salami Judicial Commission of Inquiry Report. The statement, signed by Malami’s Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, claimed that EFCC operatives specifically targeted documents related to that chapter, without prior notice. Malami’s office described the action as “deeply alarming,” suggesting it amounts to intimidation and retaliation. The former AGF had previously called for the recusal of EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede from the ongoing investigation into him, citing alleged bias linked to findings in the Salami Report. Chapter 9 reportedly implicates senior EFCC officials, including Olukoyede, who served as secretary to the commission. “We hereby place Nigerians and the international community on notice that any harm to our personnel or to Abubakar Malami, SAN, will be solely attributable to this pattern of conduct,” the statement warned. The statement urged the media, civil society, professional bodies, and human rights organizations to question the timing and justification of the raids and called for the full release of the Salami Report to ensure transparency. The development comes amid ongoing EFCC investigations into allegations against Malami, including abuse of office, money laundering, and matters related to recovered Abacha loot. Malami has repeatedly claimed political motivation and conflicts of interest in the probe, asserting that Chapter 9 of the Salami Report exposes a clear conflict of interest that undermines the EFCC chairman’s role in matters concerning him.
