Khafi Kareem, the former housemate in the 2019 BBNaija show, has refuted claims that she has been sacked by the Metropolitan police UK where she served as an officer before auditioning to compete in the Big Brother 2019 edition. The 29-year-old gave the calrification in an interview with SaharaReporters. Khafi says the authorities of the Metropolitan Police are infact expecting her back at her duty post as soon as possible. Recall that while she was still in the show, the Sun newspaper UK published a story claiming that the Metropolitan police was embarassed by her ''sexcapdes'' with Gedoni and are contemplating terminating her appointment. It was alleged that she failed to seek approval from her organization before going for the competition. However, in the interview with Sahara, Khafi said she would be travelling to the UK soon and that her employers are waiting for her to get back to work. In her words “No action has been taken By the Met Poli

A land dispute between two families led to two corpses being exhumed three weeks after they were buried. The corpses exhumed in Isiozi Umuaka, Imo state, are those of a mother and her daughter-in-law who died 6 and 4 years ago respectively. The dead could not be laid to rest after their death as there was no place to bury them due to the lingering land dispute. They were eventually buried on the land under dispute three weeks ago but this caused displeasure to the other family as the case is still in court. The dispute took a turn for the worse on Tuesday, September 24 when both corpses were dug out from the land by the other family and deposited at Nwankwoikpa market square in Imo state.

Offices of Mercy Corps in Borno and Yobe states have been shut down by the Nigerian army barely five days after the Borno office of the Action Against Hunger (AAH) was also shut down over allegations of providing aid to Boko Haram. Though no reason has been given for the closure of the North-East offices of the Mercy Corps, it was learnt that the international Non-governmental organisation has been at loggerheads with the Nigeria army after a vehicle conveying some contractors who were on their way to purchase items for internally-displaced persons (IDPs) on behalf of Mercy Corps was intercepted.  “Mercy Corps is suspending operations in Borno and Yobe States, Nigeria, following the closure of four of our field offices by the Nigerian military,” the NGO said in a statement. A source told The Cable that the closure may be connected to the N29 million found in the intercepted vehicle belonging to the NGO and “belief that some NGOs sponsor the insurgents” “One of the

The Ghanaian government has arrested three suspects over a plan to destabilize the country.  One of the suspects who was detained on Friday September 20, after security agencies monitored their activities for 15 months is said to be a medical doctor at Citadel Hospital which he used as a base to manufacture and store weapons. The small cache of weapons discovered included six pistols, three smoke grenades, two AK47 magazines, 22 IEDs and one long knife. The arrested suspects identified as Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, Ezor Kafui and Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu were accused of being leaders of Take Action Ghana (TAG) whose aim was to recruit and radicalise a base of young people against the political authorities under the guise of “nation-building”. "The joint operation was to neutralize an elaborate plot targeted at the presidency, and with the ultimate aim of destabilizing the country," information minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said in a statement.  Rea

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says he will be waiving his immunity as the number 2 person in Nigeria to enable the appropriate quarters investigate the alleged N90 billion gift the Federal Inland Revenue Service gave to him in the buildup of the 2019 general election. Timi Frank, a former spokesperson of APC made the allegation in a recent interview. Frank alleged that the FIRS which is headed by Tunde Fowler, a strong ally of Vice President Osinbajo, released N90 billion to the Vice President to facilitate the APC's campaign in the 2019 general election.  FIRS has since denied the allegation and have threatened to take legal action against Frank if he fails to apologise. Frank insists he is saying the truth. Reacting to the allegation today September 25th, the Vice President via his twitter handle, said he has ordered legal action to be instituted against Timi Frank and another fellow, Katch Ononuju who put out false information abut him. See his tweets below

The leadership of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), have released an official statement reacting to the rape allegation against their senior pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, by Busola Dakolo, wife of singer Timi Dakolo. Busola in a tell-all interview released in June, acccused Fatoyinbo of raping her when she was a teenager attending his church in Ilorin, Fatoyinbo has since denied the allegation. In a statement issued in Abuja by the Executive Senior Assistant to the Senior Pastor of COZA, Ademola Adetuberu, today Saturday September 21st, COZA said that Fatoyinbo never raped Busola. “We see this ugly development fuelled by envy and sheer jealousy as an unnecessary distraction and a fight from the pit of hell against the ministry that God gave Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, as well as a declaration of war against the Church of Christ to which COZA is a flourishing branch under God’s grace. “As a result of the recent unprovoked satanic campaign of calumny orchestrated against

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has described the charges against Omoyele Sowore as a confirmation of the Buhari-led administration's unprecedented level of paranoia.  Revealing that he first dismissed the report as fake news, Soyinka added that 'Sowore's Issue' has moved beyond harassment and taken on a sinister direction. He further stated that the nation had failed to learn from past experiences. He said, “This is utterly depressing news. So, the Sowore affair has moved beyond harassment and taken on a sinister direction. Outside the country where I happened to be engaged at the moment, I can testify that the immediate reaction around me was to dismiss this as yet another grotesque product of fake news, of which Nigerians have become the greatest practitioners. I confess that I also joined in this school of thought – at the start. “Further checks have however confirmed that this government has indeed attained an unprecedented level of paranoia. I do n

An American Airlines jet was forced to make an unscheduled landing on Friday, September 20 after a passenger began smoking weed and became aggressive. Flight 2408, going from Phoenix to Minneapolis, was diverted an hour into the flight due to a disruptive passenger.  According to TMZ, an  hour into the flight the pilot went on the intercom and said they had to make an emergency landing in Denver because of "a security issue in the back." After the pilot's announcement, passengers became anxious as they tried to figure out what was going on.  According to the publication, a man with dreads, who caused the commotion, ran to the back of the plane, into the bathroom and locked the door. Flight attendants were concerned and huddled around the bathroom door, trying to coax the guy out, to no avail. The man reportedly stayed in the bathroom for 10 minutes and then, 5 minutes before the plane landed, he left the bathroom and went back to his seat. He was very j

A heartbreaking video showing a man slapping a baby multiple time and lifting him into the air before tossing him to the ground, also multiple times, has caused outrage. In the shocking video, the man is seen trying to get the baby to stand on his own, but the boy couldn't, so he slaps him across the face multiple time and doesn't stop, even as the child cries. He then positions the baby beside a table, with the child's hands on the table for support, and tries to get the baby to stand on his own. But the baby's legs wobble and this angers the man so, he slaps the baby on the stomach twice.  While this is going on, there's a boy seen lying on a couch. Someone is also behind the camera because the baby is seen looking at the person while crying, but the person doesn't come to the baby's aid. The man then carries the baby away from the table, lifts him high into the air, and drops him on the floor. He does this multiple times, then continues

Prof Ango Abdullahi the leader of Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) and former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,  has stated that there is nothing wrong with power remaining in the north in 2023 if Nigerians decide so through majority votes.  According to him, a critical evaluation of positions of different ethnic groups in the country showed that the North has been short-changed as key positions were not with them. Prof Ango also insisted that there is nothing wrong with the appointment of more Service Chiefs from the region as other ethnic groups have enjoyed it before now without the North complaining. “What we are witnessing is a sad development, very dangerous arguments that are being put forward. How many offices are we even talking about and you are saying lopsidedness of offices? “Have you looked at the offices in the civil service and those that occupy them, so what is the fuss all about? Are they parochial or are they biased in the discharge of d

Ex- spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, Gen. John Agim Agim (rtd) has revealed that they expect 15-25% of successful applicants in each recruitment to die during training.  Gen. Agim stated that the expectation of death in training is why applicants sign a bond of being responsible for their decision when filling a form for the Nigerian Defence Academy.  “The military training we get already takes care of whatever situation we find ourselves. . In training, we are taught how to survive in whichever situation we find ourselves. Even if we are captured by the enemy, we know how to survive so we don’t die as a prisoner of war. . So by the time we go for the real operations, to us it usually looks like a rehearsal because we have already seen the worst during trainings. I urge Nollywood film makers to try and see ways of how they can produce a few of our drills so that the public can know some of the things that we go through. . I can assure you that we have a robust trainin

Police in Edo state has arrested 30-year old, Godstime Ogechi, who specialises in robbing prostitutes in Ugbiyoko, Egor local government area of the state.  A statement released from the command states that Ogechi is a one-man gang that uses a rod-like gun to rob call girls under the pretence of paying them to spend the night with him. The police says Ogechi takes his victims to a dark street where he would bring out the rod and the girls thinking that it is a gun, would give him their phones and money including the one he paid them. Ogechi was arrested when he went to one of the brothels to pick up a girl and the call girls in the brothel were able to recognise him. When interrogated, Ogechi said he has lost count of the number of girls he has robbed. “I don’t have any gang. I operate along Ekenwan road. I pick street girls at night and rob them. I will chat with them and tell them I want to take them for daybreak. When we get to a dark corner, I will bring out thi
