Man tortures 18-month-old son with burning cigarettes in Osun

A 32-year-old driver Mayowa Adeyemo has been remanded in Ilesha Correctional Centre, for reportedly torturing his 18-month-old son with burning cigarettes.

The suspect who was arraigned in court sitting in Osun State on Tuesday June 16 on two counts bothering on assault and exploitation, was accused of beating the child with a stick and burning him with a cigarette by the Police prosecutor Abiodun Fagboyinbo.

The suspect pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Adeyemo told the court ;

“I have five children from five different mothers. Several pastors I consulted told me that my mother was the one bewitching me. I am a taxi driver but things have not been fine for me. The son I assaulted with sticks is the son that my fourth wife bore for me.

“When his mother got pregnant, we got separated due to the insistence of her family that she should not marry me.”

Chief Magistrate Modupe Awodele adjourned the case to July 14, after remanding Adeyemo in Ilesha Correctional Centre.

“I didn’t kiss Frodd, he kissed me” – BBNaija’s Esther claims (Video)

The tenth episode of the BBNaija: Pepper Dem Reunion show kicked off with the show’s anchor, Ebuka delving into former housemate, Esther’s love triangle with ex-housemates, Nelson and Frodd.

Esther’s colleagues, Diane and Mercy laid receipts which incriminates her in a ring of manipulative behaviour while she was still in the Big Brother’s house.

The close friends who admitted to being former friends with Esther touched on Esther’s transfer of emotions from Nelson to Frodd despite knowing Diane had a thing for Nelson — a move they deemed as an act of betrayal.

Venita, talking on “Esther and Frodd’s” kiss said she felt the kiss was heaven sent but just before she continued, Esther cut in to set the record straight about the whole kiss drama.

She adamantly denied kissing Frodd and claim it was a group agreement — she says Frodd kissed her and it was not the other way round.

But in a brief preview of the kiss, Esther is seen plunging her lips into Frodd’s. Watch the video below,

Bello said,

“The FCT Administration which has a responsibility to protect the lives of the citizenry is determined to prosecute all those involved in orchestrating these infractions to the full extent of the law”.

This comes after Jabi Lake Mall was shut down by the FCT administration following a mobile court’s judgment.

New COVID-19 medicine, Dexamethasone has not been approved in Nigeria – NCDC

he Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has said that the new COVID-19 drug, Dexamethasone is yet to be approved for use in treatment of patients with the viral disease in Nigeria.

The low-dose steroid treatment dexamethasone is a major breakthrough in the fight against the deadly virus, UK experts say. It considerably reduce the risk of patients dying from COVID-19.

In a series of tweet, the NCDC said it is aware of the drug, however the drug has not yet been approved for use in Nigeria.

“The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is aware of recent outcomes from a UK-Government funded clinical trial for COVID-19. The results support the use of Dexamethasone as a possible treatment to reduce the risk of death among COVID-19 patients, who require oxygen or mechanical ventilation.

Please note that the Government of Nigeria has not validated or approved any treatment for COVID-19. In addition, the use of Dexamethasone for COVID-19 treatment has not been validated by WHO.

We are aware of ongoing clinical trials conducted by scientists in the UK and will work with our sister agencies to evaluate this emerging data on the use of Dexamethasone. We will inform the general public on outcomes following scientific review and validation.” the NCDC tweet reads.

Davido unfollows everyone on Instagram; including Chioma

Though his fans and followers are yet to see a new post from him on any of his social media platforms since he announced that he’ll be taking time off them to do some “cleansing”, the singer has however made an action on one of his official social media pages.

A quick check on singer, Davido‘s Instagram page shows that the singer has unfollowed everyone on his page even though he’s not active in making posts on the platform as of this moment.

The singer apparently unfollowed everyone including his allegedly estranged fiance, Chioma who recently came out to refute the claims of domestic violence that may have been dwelling in their relationship.

Precisely two weeks ago, Davido took to his social media platforms to announce to his followers that he’ll be taking time off social media as he’ll be needing time to do some cleansing.

He however stated that he’ll be back when he releases “ABT” which according to previous posts on his page before he went off the social media radar, should be sometime in July.

Davido had taken to his page sometime ago to announce that he’s up to something and will be letting the cat out of the bag come July.

Linking me with Naira Marley flight is ridiculous – Fashola tells Executive Jets Services boss

Nigeria’s Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has reacted to a letter written by the Chairman of Executive Jets Services, Sam Iwuajoku, apologizing to the authorities after his company was banned by the Ministry of Aviation for conveying singer, Naira Marley, to Abuja from Lagos for a concert in violation of COVID-19 guidelines.

The chairman in his apology, said he gave the approval for the flight thinking the passenger was the minister Fashola, as the flight manifesto contained the name Babatunde Fashola, not knowing that is was Naira Marley’s brother who also goes by the name Babatunde Fashola.Babatunde Fashola opens up

However, Babatunde Fashola said he has not travelled out of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, since March 22 so it is ridiculous for him to be linked with the flight that carried the singer.

Reacting in a statement on Tuesday, the former Governor’s Special Adviser on Communications, Hakeem Bello, said,

“The attention of the Office of the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN, has been drawn to a letter signed by the Chairman/CEO of Executive Jets Services Limited, Dr Sam Iwuajoku concerning a flight it operated to Abuja last weekend.

“For purposes of clarity and in order to set the records straight, the Hon. Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, has not travelled out of Abuja since March 22, 2020, when he returned there after an inspection tour of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway construction work and a visit to Lagos, before the lockdown.

“The decision of the Hon. Minister not to travel was taken in strict compliance with the Federal Government’s ban on inter-state travels as part of efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is therefore ridiculous for Dr Iwuajoku to attempt to link the Hon. Minister with any non-compliant flight.”

Alleged Domestic Violence: Chioma finally breaks silence.

Chioma Rowland has responded to claims that her relationship is going through a crisis due to domestic violence.

Reports making the rounds on social media say Chioma and Davido aren’t together anymore due to the domestic abuse, and there are claims that’s why Davido sustained a leg injury.

She discredited claims that accused Davido of domestic violence, and said:

I know you guys absolutely love to spread all sorts of rumours and stories for your entertainment and I’ve known from Day 1 what to expect from blogs and the internet especially with myself and family being in the public space. I have never once come out to respond to any blogger or react to any rumour mongers before as quite frankly it has never been my nature to engage in online battles or pay too much mind to social media.

But I must say I have found quite disturbing the stories of domestic abuse between myself and David and for once feel a need to speak up. Domestic violence and abuse is NO JOKE and not something to ever take lightly. Never has there ever been an incident of abuse in my home. He has never in his life lifted a finger to touch me and I have never so much as even pushed him.

I believe with everything we peddle as human beings whether offline or online, we should have a bit of fear of God more so when speaking on things we know absolutely nothing of. I’m not sure where in the world such stories have started from, but I want to ensure everyone showing concern whether fake or real, that such has never and will never happen.

Further, we do not take such allegations of abuse lightly at all and if such persists then we will be jointly taking up action against the perpetrators of these disgusting rumors.

To the beautiful young ones out there, never ever allow a man to lay his hands on you while you keep quiet. If you were ever to suffer such, ensure you SPEAK UP! With all that is going on in the world right now, we most certainly can not sit around and condone or encourage women to condone such!

Love,
Chioma ❤️

We are not mates – Thelma declares as she shades Tacha ?

Big Brother Naija 2019 ended several months ago but it seems the reunion show has rekindled nothing but beef and toxicity.

Former housemate, Thelma took to Twitter to seemingly swipe aim at Tacha while bragging about her success.

Recall Days ago, Tacha had revealed that her power banks sold out in 2 hours. After her revelation, “Tacha Sold Out” trended on mciro blogging site, twitter.

In what has been deemed as an indirect response, Thelma has now also taken to her Twitter page to brag about the success of her business venture while insinuating that Tacha’s claim that her merchandise sold out is “audio”.

Thelma shared a transfer receipt from her bank showing that she received a transfer of 2.7 million Naira and she wrote: “If your transfer limit is less than 2m in a day ..don’t troll me next time, we are not mates.. I come in peace.”

She further wrote ; “They came 2 my dm asking why I don’t shout “audio” SOLD-OUT on my IG business page @lathelma_ The thing is, as a true 9ja woman who knows her way in business, I worry more about RE-STOCKING my inventories than shouting SOLDOUT. I am not a one-timer..and I show you receipt too.”

Thelma didn’t call names but social media users immediately figured that she was shading Tacha and some called her out while others defended her.

BBNaija reunion: Jackye reveals true friends; says Tacha is non-existent to her (WATCH)

Jackye Madu didn’t mince words and left none unsaid when tendering the question of the people she does not get along with amongst the Pepper Dem ex-housemates.

In a new episode of the reunion show, the software engineer was asked who she considered her friend in the house and without hesitation, she mentioned Venita and Enkay.

According to her, the duo were more like her sisters to her than friends. Jackye who has, over time, made it clear that she’s not a fan of Tacha, said she did not vibe with controversial ‘disqualified’ ex-housemate.

According to Jackye, if she doesn’t vibe with someone, they then don’t exist to her.

After she was asked if the feelings had always been like that for Tacha, Jackye admitted that for the first few weeks in the house, she tried to bond with Tacha but gave up on the idea because she didn’t want to get angry.

Jackye went on to say she didn’t want to give anyone the authority to control her emotions or make her that angry — before then, Thelma was asked about her infamous fight with Tacha over a piece of fish, in the first week in the BBNaija house.

Thelma said she didn’t start the fight for the sake of the show and that Tacha blew things out of proportions. Tacha on the other hand, stated that she simply reacted to how Thelma approached her.
