Wale busari01 mins

A video circulating online has drawn widespread attention, showing a man claiming to be the biological father of Fulham defender Calvin Bassey. In the emotional clip, Kingsley Ikenna alleged that his ex-wife has denied him access to his adult sons, including the Super Eagles star, despite his repeated attempts to reconnect. Ikenna, who currently lives in Italy, said he and his family initially moved to England but faced difficulties converting their Italian documents to British ones. He claimed that when his ex-wife refused to return to Italy, he had no choice but to leave alone, severing contact with his children. Appealing to Nigerians for support, Ikenna emphasized that he is not seeking Calvin Bassey for fame but hopes to rebuild their father-son relationship. "Please Nigerians should help me. Wherever I must have wronged my wife, she should please forgive me so I can have access to my children. My wife took my children and ran away with them." — Ikenna , Footballer Calvin Bassey's dad pleads with Nigerians on live with Helen Ati__… pic.twitter.com/4JRGVoSv6d — GWG (@gwg_ng) January 26, 2026

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

Wale busari02 mins

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

Wale busari03 mins

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.

Sabinus Reveals Father Initially Rejected His Comedy Career, Called It “Stupid Business”

Wale busari03 mins

Comedian Emmanuel Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has opened up about his father’s initial disapproval of his comedy career. In a candid interview with VJ Adams, he revealed that his father wanted him to become a lawyer and refused to support his pursuit of comedy. Sabinus explained that after failing to gain admission into Law, he settled for a degree in Linguistics and Communication Studies at the University of Port Harcourt. It was during his time at Uniport that he discovered his talent for skit-making and began creating content, though it initially brought in little to no money. He said his father only learned about his comedy career a year after graduation when he saw Sabinus featured on show posters, confirmed by his sisters. His father reportedly reacted angrily, calling it a “stupid business” and expressing regret over funding his education. Sabinus recalled, “At first, my dad never wanted me to be what I am today; he wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried my best but couldn’t secure a law admission. So, I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at Uniport. It was on campus that I saw skit making and decided to try it out. Money wasn’t coming. “After I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters. My sisters confirmed to him that I was into comedy. He was very furious. He fumed, ‘Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.’” The comedian added that his father eventually gave his blessing after he started sharing his earnings from comedy with him.

Imagine a mother or a father whose daughter… one of the parents (Mr. Anthony) of these girls picked in the school, died yesterday of a heart attack because three of his children are victims,” Hayab said. He added, “People don’t understand that when you tell it as it is, you’re not speaking against anybody; you are only trying to state the problem. The pains and the trauma are still very fresh. We tried speaking to the parents today, and they were scared of speaking to us.” The revelation underscores the emotional toll that the recent spate of school kidnappings is taking on affected families.

A 27-year-old man, Chukwuebuka Eweni, has been arrested by New Orleans police after allegedly killing his father and injuring his two sisters in a domestic attack on Pebble Street. Family members told WWL Louisiana that the deceased, Samuel Eweni, was a computer sciences professor at Southern University at New Orleans. The two injured victims were his daughters. Relatives described the attack as sudden and shocking, noting that the suspect had a history of mental illness but had never been violent before. One of the injured sisters has since been released from the hospital, while the other remains admitted but is expected to recover, according to reports. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) confirmed that Eweni was located in Jefferson Parish and is in custody, undergoing medical evaluation. “Chukwuebuka Eweni has been located in Jefferson Parish.

NOPD said the incident occurred around 9:59 pm on November 11, 2025. Officers responded to a report of “an aggravated battery by cutting believed to be domestic in nature.” Upon arrival, they found an unresponsive adult male with a fatal stab wound and two other adult victims with stab injuries. The two surviving victims were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Detectives confirmed Eweni as the perpetrator and said arrest warrants have been issued for one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. “This suspect is believed to be armed and dangerous,” the statement added. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will officially identify the deceased and determine the cause of death following the autopsy and notification of next of kin.
