A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday granted the request of a housewife, Iyabo, to have her 10 years marriage to a commercial driver, Biodun Rasheed, dissolved.
The President of the court, Mr Ademola Odunlade, ordered Rasheed to pay his estranged wife N3, 000 as monthly feeding allowance in addition to another monthly N7, 000 for the education of their three children.
The payments, according to Odunlade, are to be made through the court.
Iyabo had earlier told the court that her husband was fond of excessive drinking and had often threatened to kill her.
“He beats me every day and at will. It is so easy for him to find an opportunity to beat me up.
“Whenever we have any misunderstanding, he is always quick to tell me he will kill me one day.
“My Lord, my life is at risk. I am afraid that he may carry out his threat to have me killed one day,” Iyabo told the court.
When asked to defend the allegations levelled against him, Rasheed told the court that he was ready to part ways with his estranged wife.
The couple, who live at Amuloko area of Ibadan, are blessed with two boys and a girl between the ages of four and nine years.

A Nigerian guy, Ray KatiNns on Facebook has shared excruciating details of how he had three-some with a Facebook Girl and Her room-mate.
Here’s what he wrote below;
Ray KatiNns.
In owerri, last 4 weeks.
I asked the girl sitting [right] to take me to a place where we can sit and chat, she took me to this place i have forgotten the name of the place.
We got there and they ordered for barbecue, two of the fishes cost me 11k that’s N5,500 each while I took peppery pepper soup cus I have hatred for fishes.
I met this girl when I was serving in owerri, I was looking awkward that afternoon cus my NYSC uniform was somehow over size and she refused stopping when I called her to collect her number.
It was around that Imo Event Center or whatever that place is called. So I crossed the road and she told me that she can only give me her Facebook ID, that she can’t give me her number. The truth is that her ass was awesome. And apart from the fact that I had no money then I was in a relationship and didn’t ever wanna cheat. So I found her on Facebook and she still refused to give me her number until I used a girl’s Facebook account where the girl told her she was my sister.
I got the number called for months but she refused coming to see me. So I had to chill until money came this year… I called her last month and told her about God’s blessings in my life and it took her just 5 mins to fall in love and decided that we must see.
But the story is that after eating out her friend or room mate was supposed to leave but she didn’t. Even after I have dashed them 5k each just for keeping me company. [remember I told you that I can give a girl I like any amount of money if she is nice to me but I can’t pay anybody penny because of sex cus I don’t believe that it’s the guys that fuck the girls. I believe that sex is a mutual thing enjoyed by the both parties].
Later, i went to the cheap hotel room where I lodged around World Bank with the 2 girls and… Definitely it wasn’t my first time of doing THREE SOME. I can’t lie to you my dear friends.
A woman has shared on Facebook, how she made her boyfriend, propose to her.
According to what she shared on the Social Media platform, she revealed that she used “Witchcraft”… and this is by adding her menstrual blood inside her boyfriend’s food.
She also shared photo of the Spaghetti she added the menstrual blood to, and according to her, it worked… Few days later, her boyfriend proposed.
She wrote on Facebook; “So scrolling through FB today, one of my homegirls was asking does the blood in the spaghetti trick really work.. lol now I ain’t tryna influence nobody to do anything but there was no ring on my finger, before the spaghetti, but after the spaghetti, there is a ring! It’s a cold world out there ladies, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do”
In an interview with Media personality Funmi Iyanda, Nigerian singer, Asa has revealed that she’s ashamed to say that she lost her virginity at 28.
The singer who denied being a lesbian, disclosed that one of the reasons why she lost her virginity that late was because she was shy and added that she was too focused on her career that she didn’t even think about having sex.
She said:
“On the day I lost my virginity, I called my manager, Janet to tell her and she was surprised that I was a very late starter. I also called my mum and she didn’t have any advice, she said, “it will be painful at first’, and I was there wondering what she was saying.
I am ashamed to say I lost my virginity at 28, so don’t clap for me. Perhaps one of the reasons why I lost my virginity that late was because I was shy and somewhere else where I was too focused on my career that I didn’t even think about having sex.”
A 23-year-old Nigerian man, identified simply as Femi who was among the 42 homosexuals arrested in a Lagos hotel in July has revealed that he became he became gay after his Father’s friend raped him.
According to him, they were celebrating a birthday with friends which ended when they were arrested as they were charged with engaging in “gay activities”. Femi spent a month and two days in jail.
According to ABC Australia, since his arrest, Femi has been kicked out of home and now shuttles between “friends’ lounges and lovers’ beds.”
He has lost his job as a cleaner, left his studies at university and had sex for money to help pay for a ticket to Ghana where he hopes he can slip into obscurity.
Femi says he “became gay” at 14 when he fell in love with the man who raped him, an older man who was close friends with his father. He kept the relationship a secret until his father accused him of being “gay and acting girly”.
“When he was angry he would start flogging me,” Femi says.
“Any mistake and he would hit me. Every minute, every hour.”
After a month and two days in jail following his arrest, an NGO bailed him out.
“I tried to bribe my way out of it and members of the [LGBTI] community went to speak with my father…[he] asked them to let me die in [jail],” Femi says.
In 2014 former president Goodluck Jonathan signed a bill which proscribed penalties of 14 years’ jail for same-sex marriage and 10 years’ for same-sex “amorous relationships”.
Days after the hotel arrests, the Lagos State Attorney-General Adeniji Kazeem said the tough stance taken with the men was to help put “a stop to the exploitation of under-aged children” by gay men.
However, 15-year-old Doyin*, who was also arrested says no sex with minors took place. Doyin was in jail for seven days before he was released, but unlike many, he wasn’t fazed by the consequences.
“My parents know I’m gay. This is my lifestyle. This is what I choose and they say I should live my life,” he says.
“A gay is a human being and it’s God that created me like this .
I don’t have feelings for women. I have feelings for men. A gay is a human being [and that’s why I’m bold. I didn’t want my mum to know’
For Tunde*, the consequences were foremost in his mind.
“The police came through and started beating us so I covered my face because I didn’t want my mum to know,” he says.
Bundled into a cell with hardened criminals, Tunde says he was beaten up by another prisoner, called the President, who was instructed by police to extract confessions.
“This is when I had no choice … I said I was gay,” he says.
Along with the other men, Tunde pleaded not guilty to the charge in court, but his picture, name and HIV status were taken by local media and splashed across newspapers around the nation.
“When I came out my mum found out and the people I work with were abusing me saying I’m a girl,” he says.
“My grandma bought the newspaper and said I was not part of their family anymore and that I should leave the house.”
The men return to court on November 22. Lagos activist Peter Kass, whose NGO — Access to Health and Rights Development Initiative — was at the hotel conducting HIV tests for some of the patrons on the night of the arrests, claims gangs used social media to catch unsuspecting gay men out to either beat them up or exhort money from them.
“What people do is ping you or you get chatting and then you talk about hooking up,” he says.
“When you get there you discover the person isn’t even gay and there are six or seven men there … who are just out there to beat up gay men.”
Ex-controversial Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty – who’s said to be pregnant for a yet to be identified person man, took a swipe at Nigerian Musicians (including Mr Eazi, Runtown and more) for infusing their songs with the ‘Ghana tune‘.
This she claims is an indication that they are not proud of our dialects – she then lauds other musicians like, Flavour, Phyno, Olamide and Adekunle Gold for using local dialects in their music.
In what has caused mixed reactions among online users, Annie Idibia has been pictured rocking a baby bump at an event in Lagos alongside her cute daughters, Isabella and Olivia, last weekend.
It seems that the beautiful actress who has stopped posting recent photos on her Instagram page and her Musician husband, 2Baba are expecting their baby number 3.
Well, if it ends up in what we think at the moment, Congratulations!
A couple have murdered a 20-year-old pregnant woman in a bid to rip her baby from her womb and steal it in Brazil.
One 22-year-old Joelma Queila Santana da Silva, and 18-year-old Alex da Silva Carvalho seen in the photos met the victim on her way to visit a doctor in Itapiranga.
The victim, who was 37 weeks along, followed the woman and man who then took her to have a drink at a local cafeteria. Once there, they distracted her and Joelma put a date rape drug into the pregnant woman’s drink, causing her to pass out.
They then took the woman to a forest area where they used a knife to open up her belly and remove the fetus. The victim died on the spot.
The incident occurred in the municipality of São Sebastião do Uatumã, state of Amazonas, Brazil. When asked about the motive for the crime, Joelma said that she could not get pregnant but wanted very much to have a child. So she used her influence over young and immature Alex to get him to participate in the heinous crime.
The corpse of the woman was found by the residents in an area near a place known as “Campo de Pelada Pimenta”, in the neighborhood of Paz.
They alerted the police and this led to an investigation. The baby reportedly survived and is being treated in the Itapiranga hospital.
The federal high court in Lagos on Monday have entered judgment against the Nigeria Police Force billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans’ brother-in-law.
In the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Mr. Okwuchukwu Obiechina, said to be Evans’ brother-in-law, Justice Mohammed Idris, on Monday, declared Obiechina’s arrest and detention unconstitutional.
Apart from ordering the police to immediately to immediately release Obiechina unconditionally or charge him to court if they have any case against him, the court also awarded N2m damages in his favour against the police.
According to Punchng, Justice Idris ordered the police to tender a public apology to Obiechina to be published in two national dailies.
Controller of Prisons in Lagos State, Tunde Ladipo, has shared how notorious kidnap kingpin Chukwudidumeme Onuamadike, Aka Evans is being treated at the Kirikiri Prisons in Lagos.
In an interview with Vanguard, the state controller said there is no preferential treatment for Evans, rather he’s being treated like every other inmate in the prison.
He said:
“We have laws rules and regulations that guide them. Evans is like every other inmate in the prison. There is nothing special about him. It is just that there is so much hype about him being a suspected kidnapper. As far as I am concerned, he is an ordinary inmate. So far, so good. There is no way he can even go above the law because he can’t have that chance. We have ensured that our prisons are secure. So there is no cause for alarm.
“In the cases of inmates making use of telephone and other facilities, I assure you that if any case like that comes up and we investigate and find it to be true, we will not hesitate to take positive action. For now, I assure you that we don’t have such thing in our prisons.”
Speaking about the congestion of prisons, Ladipo said:
“In concrete terms, we have been lucky that the former Chief Judge of Lagos State came to our rescue when we had problems in Badagry Prisons. She visited all the prisons because I had to disturb her to come to our aid by visiting the prisons and, in the process of going round, she was able to release quite a number of inmates.
“In Badagry Prisons, she released 80 inmates, Ikoyi 44, Kirikiri Medium 117 and Kirikiri female 13. The Minister of Justice has also been very much concerned about the congestion of prisons in Lagos. I and stakeholders met on one or two occasions to look at the way forward. I have been appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to help us pay the fines of inmates who cannot afford to pay those fines. And many Nigerians are coming to help.
“In particular, a philanthropist who wanted to feed inmates came to my office and I told him that our major headache is the decongestion of our prisons. I pleaded that he should help us pay fines for inmates who could not afford it. Luckily, he was able to release 200 of such prisoners from the medium prison in Kirikiri.”
The Billionaire kidnapper is being held on a two-count charge of conspiracy and kidnapping. However, more charges are likely to follow.
You just have to get jealous of the love between Nollywood Actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie and her husband, Prince Odi Okojie.

Singer, Mr. 2kay was yesterday, 22nd of October, robbed at gunpoint in his hotel room, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
According to a statement made available by his record label, Graftin, the incident happened at about 11 PM on Sunday, October 22, 2017, during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert where he also performed.
The robbers, 4 in number, gained access into Mr. 2Kay’s room after he mistook one of them for room service. They forced their way into his room and waved a gun with threats to shoot him if he made a noise.
Mr. 2Kay, who was in the room with a friend, struggled with one of the robbers, as the others punched and hit him with a gun, repeatedly warning that they will shoot if he doesn’t calm down.
One of the robbers led and locked 2Kay’s friend in the bathroom, while the others tied the singer’s arms, legs and mouth and took his valuables including jewelry, clothes, perfumes, phones, and money. They also cut the room’s intercom (phone) to avoid any form of communication as they left the hotel.
The hotel authorities and police have taken statements for investigation, while Mr. 2Kay is getting medical attention for his wounds. “I was quite shocked when I got to Mr. 2Kay’s room last night.
This was somebody I watched perform some minutes before the incident. Anyway, the hotel authorities and police are already investigating the incident and we hope they’ll apprehend the criminals as soon as possible,” said James Silas, Manager of Grafton Records.
A police sergeant attached to a house reportedly owned by a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar has allegedly brutalized a worker with the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Dele Ogundele, who’s currently hospitalized.
According to PUNCH METRO, the mobile policeman, identified as Attah Aninoko, on Thursday dragged down Ogundele from an electric pole opposite the house and beat him up for disconnecting power to the house of the former IG.
Ogundele’s leg was allegedly broken by the sergeant, who was reported to have boasted that “nothing will happen.”
The matter was said to have been reported to the police at the Ikoyi division and the sergeant was arrested.
The Head of Corporate Communications Department, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Mr. Godwin Idemudia, who confirmed the incident, said the sergeant had been detained.
He explained that the house of the former IG owed a bill of N154,693.85, adding that the name on the bill was one Yusuf.
He said:
“What we do is that anytime customers don’t respond and pay their bills, we go out with copies of their bills. When we get to their houses, we tell them what they owe and ask if they had made any payment in the last 24 hours. If they can’t produce any evidence of such, we disconnect their electricity.
“That was what we did in this case. We had two of our vehicles working in the area on that day. On getting to the house around 12noon on Thursday, October 19, a man came out and we asked for evidence of payment because we discovered that the house owed over N154,000. When he couldn’t produce it, we said we would disconnect the power. The man flared up.
“The mobile policeman came out, and while our official was disconnecting the power from the pole, he ordered him to come down. In fact, he dragged the official down and beat him up. In the process, the official sustained injuries and his left leg was broken.”
Idemudia said because the policeman was armed, other officials of the electricity distribution company were helpless and could only watch their colleague being brutalized.
He said policemen from the Ikoyi division were alerted and the cop was arrested. Ogundele was said to have been taken to a hospital.
“When he was taken to the station, he started boasting that nothing would come out of the case.
“We believe that nobody is above the law. The case should not be swept under the carpet. The Divisional Police Officer has assured us that justice would be served,” he added.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, denied that Ogundele’s leg was broken, adding that the power company was being mischievous.
He said:
“This people know that the property belongs to a former civil servant and they are just trying to be mischievous.
“They came and said the house owed some bills and before the residents could go in to bring out their record, they had cut off power. There were policemen in the area and they tried to intervene.
“There was nobody that suffered any broken leg or any injury. Care should be taken not to damage the good name of the former civil servant. The DPO is trying to mediate and the case is under investigation.”
Suspected kidnappers have killed the chaplain to the Bishop of the African Church, Ondo Central Diocese, Revd. David Ayeola.
The gunmen shot Ayeola dead in a botched rescue operation after the church declined to pay the N100m ransom the kidnappers demanded.
The African Church had offered N500,000 instead.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the remains of the victim had been deposited in a morgue.
Our correspondent gathered that Ayeola, the bishop, Samuel Ojo; and the bishop’s wife were travelling to Abeokuta, Ogun State, from Imojo Ekiti, Ekiti State, when they were waylaid by the gunmen on the road.
The bishop, his wife, Ayeola, and the driver of the car were said to have fled into the bush.
A source said, “While others escaped, the chaplain was caught and abducted by the gunmen.
“They later contacted the headquarters of the church at Akure and demanded N100m. The church, however, offered them N500,000, which they turned down.”
Another top leader of the African Church said the church’s leadership involved the Ekiti State Police Command in the rescue of the priest.
He explained that while trying to buy time with negotiation, the police also closed in on the hideout of the abductors.
“On Saturday, the police swooped on the hideout of the kidnappers and there was an exchange of gunfire between them.
“The police team was overpowered and the kidnappers decided to shoot the priest. He was shot in the side; they (kidnappers) left his corpse behind. The family has taken the body to the morgue,” he added.
When contacted, the Diocesan Public Relations Officer, Alex Akande, said he could not talk about the incident, adding that the church’s leadership would meet on Monday (today).
He said, “The case is with the police. I don’t want to divulge too much information because I need to get clearance from the church’s headquarters. We will be having a meeting tomorrow (Monday); maybe I can talk after that.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that Ayeola was not married and he had only recently finished from the seminary.
A check on his Facebook page showed that although he rarely used social media, he sometime waxed philosophical.
“People may say many things about you, but what you say about yourself matters most. I know I shall accomplish the purpose of God for my life in the land of the living in Jesus Name. Do have a happy night rest friends,” his last post read.
The Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer, Adeyemi Ademola, confirmed the death.
He said, “Yesterday evening (Saturday), we received intelligence about where the reverend was being kept by the kidnappers. The police and some hunters went to rescue him. We discovered that the place was a very thick forest.
“When the kidnappers noticed that the police and the hunters were coming, they shot the reverend and escaped.
“We went after them for a while, but the team had to turn back when it was getting dark. This was to avoid endangering the lives of members of the team in a terrain that the kidnappers may be more familiar with. We took the reverend to a general hospital, but sadly, we lost him.”
Celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Casual who is currently in Dubai with his heartthrob for their honeymoon, has come under fire from a fan who thinks they have been posting too many photos.
The fan who made a comment under one of the pictures Yomi posted on social media went as far as asking if they even make time out at all to have se*x.
Since the actor’s lucky break into the spotlight, Uche Maduagwu, has continued to unsettle many celebrities in and outside the country with his jabs and prophesies.
In a new chat with Sunday Scoop recently, Uche opened up on his career, prophesies and more.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
How did your journey into entertainment begin?
I thought I was going to be a very big singer but here we are today, I’m an actor. I used to sing R & B back in the days.
Which university did you attend?
I graduated from the Ebonyi State University where I studied Sociology.
How long have you been in the industry?
I have spent over four years in Nollywood. I often tell people that nobody can make you a star. I always had that at the back of my mind even when I went for auditions and they picked other people. It is only God that can make a star or make you popular and that’s what most people don’t know.
You usually make prophecies online, and some people think they are jokes. Are you some kind of prophet or pastor?
It is not a joke, it’s very real. I have the gift of prophecy and when I say anything, it has to be like that. I’m a very prayerful person.
Which notable things have you predicted that came to pass because you have also said many things that didn’t happen?
Let me just start from the most recent one. I gave a prophecy that Nigeria would qualify for the World Cup. I told the Minister of Sports that Nigeria would qualify, but most people didn’t believe it. Even when I told Mikel Obi before the game that they would win by one goal, he laughed over it. At the end of the day, Nigeria won the game.
Which other instances can you mention?
There are so many of them. Long before Banky W proposed to Adesuwa, I told people that Banky W would marry an actress. If you follow my posts on social media, you would know that I usually call Adesuwa my daughter. I told Banky W that he would marry someone who will be his soul mate. I told him he was going to marry Adesuwa, and today, they are together. I also told Mercy Johnson that she was going to get a government appointment, and it happened just like I said.
You recently wrote on Instagram that broadcaster, Gbemi Olagbegi, can no longer afford to be selective when it comes to settling down with a man because of her age. Don’t you think that was too harsh?
The truth is very bitter. We live in a part of the world where people don’t like to be told the truth. If tomorrow, she invites me to her wedding, I will go and even congratulate her.
A lot of people think you do things like that to draw attention to yourself. Is that true?
What kind of attention am I looking for that I have not already gotten? I am popular. There is no Nigerian actor that has had an A-list American celebrity comment on their post. For a celebrity to comment on your posts, it means you are important.
Who was the American celebrity that commented on your page?
It was John Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen. She has over 13 million followers; so, it is not a fluke.
You are yet to get any endorsement deal, neither have you featured in any major Nigerian movie. Doesn’t that contradict your claim of being the biggest actor in Nigeria?
The problem with Nigerians is that they like shooting substandard movies, and I always tell people that it’s not about how many of such movies you do. If you check the acting skills of most of these actors, it is on zero level.They are the ones spoiling this country. They keep parading half-baked actors, and that is why our movies don’t win international awards. People that are supposed to be mechanics and taxi drivers, you use them as actors and turn them to celebrities. I would rather go to the cinema to watch Yoruba films, than to watch any of these so-called I better pass my neighbour cinema movies where they act nonsense.
How about endorsement deals?
I have been getting some endorsement deals, but I have to look for the ones that suit my personality. I cannot endorse people who are nobodies.International endorsement is what I am looking for.
Some people say you comment on issues that don’t even concern you because you are not busy enough. What do you have to say about that?
I don’t know who, in this world, is busier than Donald Trump. Yet, he often makes comments on Twitter. Are you then telling me that Trump is a jobless man? People need to grow up. These platforms are means of communication by which we can reach the rest of the world.
You seem to always wear just one particular shirt. Is that the only cloth you have?
By the grace of God, we are going to auction that shirt in Las Vegas next year. It is one of the ‘biggest’ shirts in Africa right now; it is priceless. Anybody that wears that shirt becomes somebody important. I am going to make duplicates of that shirt because it is my trademark.
Apart from entertainment, are you involved in any other business?
I am a business mogul.Being in the entertainment business alone is big enough, and acting is just a part of it. I host events, and sometimes if I am not in Lagos, I would be in Abuja to host events. I also travel outside the country to help companies grow. I package events as well; so, I am a consultant. I do many things basically.
Have you had any physical interactions with any of the actresses you talk about on the Internet?
Most of them call me uncle. They kneel down to greet me because they respect me.They do it mostly when I am in Asaba to shoot movies, and they are very big artistes
It’s being brought to our notice by one of our readers that yesterday morning, a lady was arrested for a crime she didn’t commit – murder.
The source who wrote to YabaLeftOnline.com, revealed that the lady’s boyfriend, who is promiscuous in nature, hooked up with another lady the previous night and got into a fight which led to the girl’s death.
To cover up his crime, he wrapped the girl’s body and tucked it under his huge bed. He then called his girlfriend – the one arrested – to go get his properties from the apartment he’d hid the dead lady.
Unknown to her, she did as her boyfriend requested but she halted by residents of the area who were suspicious as to why she was packing her boyfriend’s belongings… until one of them discovered the body, which led to her arrest,
Our source, who couldn’t get photos cause the police wouldn’t let it, wrote:
I have a news for you to publish… just this morning in Enugu state, a lady was arrested and what did she do? Her boyfriend picked a girl up yesterday and they stayed together and last night they had a fight and the guy killed the lady, wrapped the body with nylon and tucked her body under his bed and left his house. then called his main girlfriend to go to his house and pick up his document and few clothes for him and bring it to an undisclosed location.
As the yard members where not comfortable with the girl packing up his properties and leaving then started questioning her and just then someone discovered the dead body that was under the huge bed.
She kept pleading that she wasn’t aware and when she tried to contact the guy, he asked her to sort herself out and since then switched off his number and hasn’t been located. now the girlfriend is at the police station as an accomplice to the murder case. This guy in question is quiet, reserved, fair in complexions but has bad reputation in changing and using girls.
Again the dead girl hasn’t been identified so far…. we are living in a wicked world, so let everyone stay woke to their partners behaviour.
We then asked the source, if they have any evidence of some sort to corroborate the story, the source said;
I have no picture cause the police where making a massive arrest this early morning, so I couldn’t take any.
A sex worker simply identified as Talent, caused a stir last Tuesday, after she was photoed taking a walk along 2nd Street Avenue in Gweru, Zimbabwe.
Talent who was clad in just a bra and panties with a Black Label bottle in her hand, paraded herself for close to 10 minutes before going back into the bar and later came back dressed.
Zimbabwean local news have it that Talent who is usually camped at Café Bar in the City centre “would surprise early morning workers as she would come out at around 7am and walk up and down the streets, buying a few things from vendors barely dressed.
Her common regalia is a white bra and pink panties. After a stroll that lasts about 30 minutes, she goes back to her hole and comes back fully dressed.
Many people who operate their business in that street no longer questions her as they are used to seeing her sometimes barely dressed.
