In related news, a bribe-seeking police officer employed a humorous and quite unusual tactic to extort a motorist, as seen in a viral video.
In the viral video, the police officer who had stopped a motorist on the grounds that his vehicle papers were incomplete, emphasized that he is a man of God and that God ordered him to halt the driver.
The officer spoke in tongues to prove to the motorist that he was indeed spirit-filled and asked the man to “package something” for him.

Investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has replied to Tonto Dikeh after the latter slammed her on her Insta-stories.
The drama started after Kemi Olunloyo and Tonto Dikeh’s ex-lover, Kpokpogri, during an Instagram live session, spoke about her reaction to the demolition of Kpokpogri’s mansion in Abuja.
During the live session, Kemi noted that although Tonto was gloating over the demolition of Kpokpogri’s multi-million naira mansion, she had no hand in it, and was only doing that for clout.
Kemi’s comment apparently triggered Tonto, and she took to her Insta-stories to blast the journalist.
“It’s like Kemi wants me to talk to her or something.. Na Ogun go help me put her back for jail. Make we start to do goFundMe for you again, Agbaya!! Olodo.” Tonto Dikeh wrote.
Well, Kemi has now taken to her Instagram page to react to Tonto’s post in a lengthy writeup. The 57-year-old said Tonto Dikeh has no regard for humanity and rejoices over other people’s losses.
She alleged that the actress purchased a gun in Ghana in an attempt to kill her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill.
“I REALLY WANT TO HELP TONTO DIKEH
I’m concerned about the businesswoman who’s office she visited last week and her bag fell on the ground with a crack pipe dropping out. I’m aware that she contacted the NDLEA on her post wanting to be an ambassador and requesting to be tested but have no idea of her dealings with the agency. I don’t work for them. I’m just an advocate with my own campaign against the war on drugs, something I did in America 30 yrs ago. We must never STIGMATIZE recovering addicts or those who have won the addiction battle and want to help others. I’m an award winning pharmacist and was once the outpatient pharmacy director of the addiction clinic at the world’s most prestigious hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine. But why was she still carrying drug paraphernalia?? She’s the mother of a small child.
I have the right to ask why Tonto was bragging about her ex boyfriend’s mansion demolition. I supported Tonto Dikeh when she was going through extreme domestic violence and purchased a gun in Ghana attempting to kill Churchill her ex husband. As she was laying curses on another journalist Azuka Ogujuiba, I counseled Azuka on how to handle a dirty bitter divorce of public figures. This is what I’m teaching my journalism interns @2222mediaschool now. After leaving Port Harcourt prison, Singer Dencia fed me, bought me new clothes and bought me a ticket to travel home to Ibadan. My daddy late Alabo Graham Douglas housed me for 30 days in his hotel and took me to meet Pastor Ibiyeomie who I’ve never asked a single Naira from till today. Dencia started the fundraiser, Yele Sowore the 3rd donor sent me money from New York and promoted the fundraiser heavily on Sahara Reporters.
Tonto was the second donor with 200K, I can’t believe it’s the same person that is professing Ogun to help her send me back to prison. Did she rush to donate that money for clout in one of the most controversial clout fundraisers known to man. Hushpuppi wanted me to beg Linda Ikeji first, Emenike contacted me lashing out at all these “small children insulting my wellness”and paid it off disgracing all the donation clout chasers. May my life never go that low again. Tonto has no regards for humanity. She rejoices over other people’s demise. A narcissist who has a foundation possibly to prove to the world she’s doing her part. Those praising her are beneficiaries of her giveaways.
What you are today does not determine what you are tomorrow. You may be the one in prison tomorrow. May God forgive Tonto Dikeh.” Kemi Olunloyo wrote in part.

In other news, veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has given a rather unpopular opinion about Feminism.
The 51-year-old actress, in an exclusive interview with PremiumTimes, at a movie set in Lagos, said feminism is too toxic.
“My passion for the girl-child and the women does not make me a feminist; I am a humanist,” she said.
A Nigerian man has taken to his social media page to narrate his horrifying story of how he escaped a ritualist camp.
According to Oluwafemi-Eden, he boarded a campm headed to Bodija but to his utmost shock, he woke up almost unclad, tied in an unknown location.
He recalled seeing blood on the ground and when he looked around, he saw that some passengers who were in the cab with him had been killed.
Read his narration below;
MY ESCAPE!
So, on this fateful day, the 8th of December 2020,
I had just relocated to Ibadan from Lagos and stayed in Akobo, Ibadan.
I woke up this morning with the desire to see my younger sister. She is a student of the University of Ibadan and works at Joke Plaza, Bodija.
My phone was dead, and I couldn’t inform anyone of where I was going or my whereabouts. So I got dressed, left the house, got to the junction of my house, and waited a long time for a bike, but I couldn’t get any after a while. I decided to take a cab.
A little less than a minute later, I saw a “Micra cab” called Bodija. I waved to stop it, and it did. I entered, and I was the second person in the back seat, with another woman with me. After we moved a little, we had another passenger join us. We became three in the back seat.
The cab was at its maximum capacity; we were ready to move. We got to the general gas bridge, and that was the last thing I remembered until I woke up later and found myself almost naked with just my shorts and singlet on me.
I was shocked to find myself somewhere I didn’t know. I could untie myself, and I saw blood on the ground when I looked around. In front of me, the woman and the man who had been in the back seat with me appeared to have been killed.
I was scared to death; I tried walking around to see where I was, and boom, I saw human parts stacked across the hut (privates, legs, hands); after seeing this, I almost peed on my body. I didn’t see any other people, so I decided to find a way out of the place; as
I was tiptoeing around, I started hearing a conversation outside. It was in Yoruba.
Please allow me an attempt at a translation: “Return that boy; we can’t use him at all; I don’t know how you guys were able to bring him here; there is a lot of damage he will cause if he stays here longer,” but Baba, “he fits the description perfectly; the other two people dead are just collateral damage, what can we do with this?” Baba:
The Baba was hesitant to return me to wherever they picked me up. They brought the suggestion,”Can we erase his memory?”Maybe we should just waste him. “He told them he was begging them if they didn’t want everything they had worked for to no avail, they should return me in peace
I must be whole, and he told them that if I woke up before they returned, there was nothing he could do to make me sleep again because initially, I shouldn’t have slept off.
They later agreed to return, but they were finalizing some arrangements.
I tipped around until I saw an opening where I could run into the bush, and I did. I saw the Micra driver and the other man in front, but they did not see me. The door was behind them, and they did not know I had escaped.
So I started running into the bush;it’s not like I knew where I was going,but I just wanted to run as fast as possible away from the place.I got to an untarred road; I tried waiting for a while,but I couldn’t see any buses, cabs, or bikes;I was praying in tongues under my breath.
After a time, I kept running until I got to another road, but this was tarred. A few minutes after I got there, I saw a rickety jalopy bike approaching me from afar. I waved, and I stopped the motorcycle. The man was old.
He asked what I was doing there alone. I narrated my experience. He was like, “Omo mi,” people don’t enter this bush once kidnapped and come out alive. Thank God!
He asked where I was going, and I told him Bodija. He said he did not know the place. He later asked which state I was talking about. I told him I was from Ibadan, Oyo state, when I discovered I had been taken far away from home. I am in Ogun State.
He volunteered to take me to Ibadan Park, which he did; he paid my fare and got me bottled water because I was sincerely thirsty.
Before leaving, he waited for the bus to begin moving. I even forgot to ask for his name and contact information. This is the way I was saved from the ritualist.
I got back to Ibadan around 2:30pm, and everything I narrated happened within 6 hours.
It took a while for me to get over the trauma of seeing dead bodies and the whole experience.
there is a lot of damage he will cause if he stays here longer," but Baba, "he fits the description perfectly; the other two people dead are just collateral damage, what can we do with this?" Baba:
Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has given a rather unpopular opinion about Feminism.
The 51-year-old actress, in an exclusive interview with PremiumTimes, at a movie set in Lagos, said feminism is too toxic.
“My passion for the girl-child and the women does not make me a feminist; I am a humanist,” she said.
“I don’t like this feminist idea because I think there’s a focus on this wing of feminism that is extreme. It’s toxic. I don’t want to be part of that. I want us to realise that you care about humans if you say you are a humanist
Bimbo also spoke glowingly about the growth Nollywood has experienced over the years.
She said: “I think we are growing, change is constant, we have changed in terms of our technical know-how, we are taking more time, we are putting more effort into our movies, we are trying to make them perfect for the audience, that’s what has changed, we have evolved.”
“Comparing when I started my career till now, this industry has grown; at that time, the industry was only but a baby, and as a baby, I think we were crawling, and we also had great quality then, it was a much smaller industry, now its a much bigger industry with all sorts of people. It was easier to judge then because we had a small group of people, few actors and few producers, but now we have lots of people experimenting.”

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has ordered the Government of Sokoto State to file charges reflecting the gravity of their offence against the killers of Deborah Samuel, who was killed and burnt by her fellow students over a blasphemous message.
This comes after a legal practitioner, identified as Ebun Adegboruwa, slammed the government for charging the suspects, Bilyaminu Aliyu and Aminu Hukunchi, who were arraigned before a court on Monday, May 16, with Criminal Conspiracy and Inciting Public Disturbance.
Reacting to this report, NBA released a statement signed by its President, Mr. Olumide Akpata, to call on the Sokoto State Government to take the case seriously and rethink their prosecution strategy.
“The government should immediately commence the prosecution of all suspects involved in these brutal and arbitrary killings in order to send a strong signal that such acts will no longer be tolerated in Nigeria.
The NBA also believes that the prompt and effective prosecution of the alleged killers will instill confidence in the citizens, promote accountability, and signpost the government’s commitment to the rule of law.
With particular reference to the murder of Miss Deborah Yakubu and related developments in Sokoto, we note that some arrests have been made by the Nigeria Police and that the suspects are now being prosecuted.
We are, however, worried by yet-to-be confirmed reports reaching us that the suspects have been charged with mere breach of public peace in an episode that cut short Deborah’s life in her prime.
The NBA is strongly opposed to a banalization of the situation, and if these reports are true, then we call on the Sokoto State Government to immediately rethink its prosecution strategy and file charges that truly reflect the gravity of the situation”, the statement read in part.

The Management of National Hospital, Abuja, has reacted to claims that the corpse of late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, sings her hit song ‘Ekwueme’ at night in the morgue.
The hospital addressing the claims in a statement released by its spokesperson, Dr Taiwo Haastrup, dismissed it as false, while stating that it’s just the imagination of people.
“Medically, there is nothing like that; it’s just an imagination of people. Somebody that is dead and is a corpse, how would such a person be singing in the night?
“There is no medical backup to that; it’s an imagination that may be due to the church she attended while alive, and the songs may just be giving people ideas, but there is no proof in any way. It just can’t be proven in any way.
“Somebody that is dead is dead and has become a corpse; it’s inside a morgue, it can’t sing and can’t move so it’s an imagination of people.”
Speaking on the result of the post-mortem examination conducted on the deceased singer, Hasstrup said,
“It’s a coroner case, and it’s confidential; we can’t reveal anything there. The IPO in charge will give it to the IGP, who will turn it to the court.
“The result has been submitted all the same, and our people did it confidentially.”
Osinachi died on April 8, 2022, from injuries she sustained when she was allegedly physically assaulted by her husband.

She managed to get to a clinic nearby and was sent away that they do not treat knife wounds!!
She is now receiving treatment at another hospital.
No one is safe!! No one”
A while ago, Kate Henshaw fumed at people who feel think they’re entitled to other people’s money and think they get to decide what people do with their money.
The actress took to Twitter recently to tell such people to put away with the bad behaviour, while stating that people who work hard for their money deserve to spend it anyhow they please.
She wrote on her page,
You are not entitled to money that is not yours. No!
Stop this bad behaviour that the world owes you anything….
Those working hard to make every penny deserve to spend or give it away the way they choose.
Key word here * working hard*
Popular Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo has called for an end to the recent trend of executing jungle justice on suspected criminals.
Alex took to his Instagram page to make this appeal on Wednesday, May 13, while reacting to the murder of Deborah Samuel and Dave Sound.
Deborah, a 200l student of a College of Education in Sokoto state, was lynched to death and burnt by her fellow students over alleged blasphemy.
Dave, a Sound Engineer and father of two, on the other hand, was beaten and set ablaze by some commercial motorcyclists in Lagos over N100.
Reacting to the morbid incidents, Alex wrote,
“I woke up this morning with so much pain in my heart, Nigeria how did we get here, there is so much anger & frustration in the land. Almost everyone is 2 secs away from turning into a werewolf.
Pls I am begging, this #JungleJustice trend needs to stop. Today is Deborah & David, tomorrow it can be me, you or someone close to home, take a minute & think about it.
Like how are you going about your business, & suddenly you stop to mob, lynch & set another human being ablaze, in the public glare of everyone, you need to be evaluated in a mental institution, arrested & locked away PERMANENTLY, you are a menace to society & not fit to coexist. Who died & made you judge, jury & executor.
Section 33(1) of the Nigerian constitution provides that “every person has right to life & no one should be deprived intentionally of his life”
Also, Section 319 of the criminal code clearly stipulates that when a group of persons take laws into their hands by assaulting or summarily executing a suspected criminal, they are guilty of the offense of assault punishable by 1 year imprisonment, or murder which is punishable by death.
More often than not, innocent people are the victims of jungle justice.
We are still trying to find #JusticeForDeborah now we also seeking #JusticeForDavid, we can’t keep loosing Nigeria youth to senseless killings.
Lawmakers needs to put in place & enforce stringent laws to abolish jungle justice, it’s barbaric, inhumane & uncivilized.
May God comfort the families/friends of the deceased in ways that only him can.
OPPO Nigeria has launched Reno7, its much anticipated flagship device in Nigeria. Reno7 is the first smartphone series to specialize in portrait photography, the OPPO Reno series has since paved the way for a new generation of smart portrait capabilities with its revolutionary portrait technology and chip-level AI algorithms. With the launch of the new Reno7, OPPO Nigeria has taken portrait-focused experience to the next level thanks to a combination of professional hardware and algorithms that enable users worldwide to create gorgeous portrait images with just the click of a button.
OPPO Reno7 is also the first smartphone to embed algorithms onto sensor hardware which enables the device to produce sharper, clearer and brighter images. This was achieved after OPPO engaged in extensive research in sensor technology in order to deliver the highest quality images to its customers.
According to the Marketing Director, OPPO Nigeria, Iris Cao, the new Reno 7 comes with innovative features powered by advanced image processing algorithms. Among these are Bokeh Flare Portrait, Selfie HDR and AI Beautification. These features are the result of over 10 years of image technology research and development, as well as the latest success in high-quality portrait photography for smartphones. “For instance, the AI Beautification deliver natural beautification effects for portrait photos and videos on OPPO Reno7’s rear and front cameras. It also helps to remove blemish, pimples and facial acne on the faces of individuals and produces customized retouching for individuals in group photos. Our customers would love this phone“, she added.
In her own words, Jennifer Okorhi, Integrated Marketing Manager OPPO Nigeria, said that the Reno7 is not just a fashion statement for its stylish and sleek look but a device customers would find very amazing in terms of functionalities. “This is the era of social media platforms which are replete with stories whether personal, business or service oriented, are usually accompanied by pictures. Good pictures help to bring the stories to life and this is one area the Reno7 stands out from the rest. It creates great pictures irrespective of low or high lighting backgrounds”. She said.
Reno7 is now available for pre-order on www.opponigeria.com ahead of it availability later in the month.
The phone is available in three colours – Sunset Orange, Auroral Blue and Cosmic Black. OPPO has promised to continue its focus on exploring new possibilities in imaging through advancements in both hardware and software, empowering the Reno series to bring even more professional portrait photography to users around the world.
Below are the other amazing features of the Reno7
New Microlens Sparks Curiosity to Discover the Unseen World
With the addition of a 2-megapixel Microlens on OPPO Reno7 and support for 16.6x magnification on both video and photos, OPPO introduces a new way to experience smartphone photography and maximize your creativity and curiosity.
OPPO Reno7’s Microlens offers a new perspective on the surrounding world
The inclusion of the Microlens on OPPO Reno7 involved more than simply making room for an additional lens on the phone. At the structural level, OPPO made the decision to install the Microlens module on the back cover of the phone, rather than directly mounting it on the motherboard. As the short focal length of the Microlens requires the phone to be placed very close to the objects being photographed, OPPO also added a new Orbit Light underneath the Microlens to provide additional illumination to ensure the delivery of image versatility and high shooting performance.
Bokeh Flare Portrait
Bokeh Flare Portrait on OPPO Reno7 improves on the previous generation features to deliver more professional-looking DSLR-like portraits. OPPO’s exclusive AI algorithms enhance the brightness of the human subject in images while automatically blurring the background and boosting the bokeh light spots. With just one click, OPPO Reno7 can capture portrait images with rich bokeh light spots that look just like those taken on high-end DSLR cameras.
Bokeh Flare Portrait Image Comparisons
Compared to previous generation features, the new Bokeh Flare Portrait delivers a more textured bokeh effect and enhances skin tones, especially in images with high color saturation. This helps portrait subjects to stand out more against backgrounds, making them the clear focus of the image.
Selfie HDR
Backlight can be one of the most difficult environments to master when taking photos, but with OPPO Reno7’s Selfie HDR function and the IMX709 sensor, it’s now easier than ever to happily snap sharper, brighter, and more natural-looking selfies in the presence of strong backlight.
Although these stunning selfies appear instantly on the screen of OPPO Reno7, behind the scenes, various complex algorithms are at work making sure that what the user sees is the best possible selfie image. The HDR algorithm uses multi-frame synthesis technology to suppress highlights and enhance dark details in the image. Alongside this, a portrait matting algorithm has been trained on a large database of portrait images to accurately identify human subjects in the image. Following this, the bokeh algorithm optimizes image segmentation to reduce false bokeh and ensure that edges between bokeh lights and the background appear natural. Further enhancements are then made to the shape and color of the bokeh flares and the brightness and tone of the subject’s skin.

AI Beautification
OPPO continues to explore how AI algorithms can be used to meet the different photo retouching needs for users around the world with AI Beautification. Leveraging machine learning trained on 5,000 unique faces in 400,000 images, AI Beautification recognizes 393 key facial feature points to deliver natural beautification effects for portrait photos and videos on OPPO Reno7’s rear and front cameras. Beautification effects include AI blemish removal and customized retouching for individuals in group photos.

AI Beautification can accurately recognize and erase blemishes, pimples, acne scars and sunspots, and intelligently retouch skin tones or makeup while keeping other desired features intact. It can also intelligently identify information such as ethnicity, gender and age to offer personalized retouching. On the front camera, skin textures and other facial features can be adjusted using the customizable beauty panel, which offers 10 different settings and 8 detailed retouching modes open to complete personalization.
Gorgeous Photos Anytime, Anywhere
OPPO has never stopped pushing the limits of snapshot and high-resolution photography on its smartphones as it aims to make it as simple as possible for everyone to take high-quality photos in any situation.
Motion capture with OPPO Reno7’s Flash Snapshot
Making use of the OPPO Image Clear Engine (ICE) embedded in OPPO Reno7, Flash Snapshot shoots multi-frame bursts of ultra-short exposure photos to capture crystal clear images even when subjects are moving. Simply raising the OPPO Reno7 and pressing the shutter is all that’s needed to capture any moment, anywhere, without worrying about blurry or out of focus images. In addition, the 64MP main camera provides amazing image processing capabilities. The resolution enhancement algorithm can construct higher-resolution images by utilizing sub-pixel displacement between multiple frames to synthesize 108MP Extra-HD images using what’s known as a VD solution. With OPPO Reno7’s Flash Snapshot and Ultra-Clear 108MP Image, amazing photos are on hand anytime and anywhere.
