She returned to the school to fulfill that pledge, meeting the boy’s father and providing school essentials such as bags, sandals, and other supplies. The actress also extended support to several other students at the school. Going beyond educational support, Tonto gave the student’s widowed father ₦1,000,000 to help him start a small business, ensuring he could provide for his three children with stability and dignity.

While speaking with his father, a widower raising three children, I felt led to do more and gave him ₦1,000,000 to start a small business. We are also providing 10 laptops to the school to enhance teaching and digital learning. This is what the Gospel looks like—not just words, but action.” The actress’s generosity has drawn widespread praise, highlighting her commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Father of Suspect in Kano Family Killings Calls for Son’s Execution

Malam Auwal, father of Umar Auwal, the prime suspect in the brutal killing of seven family members in Dorayi Chiranchi, Kano, has urged authorities to punish his son without delay. Umar, currently in police custody, is accused of murdering his aunt, Fatima Abubakar, and her six children in broad daylight on Saturday. The victims have been identified as Maimuna (17), Aisha (16), Bashir (13), Abubakar (10), Faruk (7), and Abdussalam, aged one and a half. Police confirmed that Umar confessed not only to the Dorayi killings but also to a recent attack in Tudun Yola, where two housewives were murdered and their home set on fire. In an interview with Freedom Radio, Malam Auwal distanced himself from his son, describing him as “useless to society” and insisting that he should be executed rather than imprisoned. “What he committed against my younger sister and her six children, my wife’s younger sister and her co-wife is condemnable. I distance myself from him,” he said. He also claimed that Umar had previously killed his younger sister years ago, even removing her eyes. “I don’t even want them to waste time on prosecution. Umar and his likes are supposed to be eliminated. They are not supposed to be remanded and fed with taxpayers’ money,” he added. Malam Auwal commended the police for their handling of the case and revealed that neither he nor Umar’s mother would attend any court proceedings during the trial, saying he had already “sacrificed” his son.

Portable Calls Out Father Over Alleged Theft Of His Belongings

Controversial singer Portable has taken to social media to accuse his father, Me Olalomi, of exploiting him and laying claim to his belongings. In an emotional outburst, the street-hop artiste alleged that his father had taken his shoes, clothes, and other personal items, while also attempting to benefit from his success. Portable went as far as comparing his situation to that of the late singer Mohbad, claiming his father was targeting his property. He questioned his father’s role in his life, insisting there was no support during difficult times. According to Portable, his father never showed up whenever he had issues with the police and did not contribute to his education. He also recalled expressing interest in learning tailoring, a request he said his father refused to fund. Ventilating his frustration, Portable said: “Anytime I have a police case, my Dad will never show up for me. What is your importance in my life? You didn’t send me to school. You are just like Baba Mohbad; you are always wearing my shoes and clothes. You can never inherit me. I will not allow you to do to me what they did to Mohbad. When I wanted to build a house, and I told him to handle it, he was always cheating me. A block of N300,000, he will call it N900,000. Leave me alone and let me live my life. You scammed me.” The singer’s claims have since sparked intense reactions online, with many social media users weighing in on the family dispute. My dad is like Mohbad’s dad, he has taken all my shoes and clothes and he’s just after my properties. He has all my baby mama phone numbers and he bills them for money all the time” – Portable dr@gs his father😭💔 pic.twitter.com/YgYJ5b6Zsz — Oyindamola🙄 (@dammiedammie35) January 6, 2026 My dad is like mohbad dad, he's taken all my shoes and clothes.
