Crime › Drama As Kaduna Man Accuses Sheikh Gumi Of Taking His Moroccan Wife by Kingzjayzee(op): 6:54pm On Sep 05
A Kaduna man has publicly accused prominent Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi of meddling in his marriage and obstructing security agencies from investigating what he described as the disappearance of his Moroccan wife.

Nasiru Musa Idris made the allegations in an interview with RFI Hausa, saying his wife has been in Gumi's custody for roughly 11 months. He described the situation as deeply unjust and called on the cleric to respond to a police invitation so the matter could be properly investigated.

HOW THE DISPUTE BEGAN

Idris said he first met Gumi at a pharmacy on Isa Kaita Road in Kaduna, where he had gone with his family. He later introduced his wife to the cleric.

According to Idris, the woman had no prior connections in Nigeria before he brought her into the country, having travelled to Morocco specifically to seek her hand in marriage. He said the union was contracted with the full consent of her parents and with documentation from the Nigerian embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

[I]The trouble, he said, started when Gumi reportedly insisted that he obtain an additional marriage certificate from a Sharia Court, despite the existing paperwork from Morocco and Nigeria, including a police character report[/i]

Idris said he subsequently took his wife to the cleric at Gumi's own request, after Gumi suggested she needed counselling given her young age.

He alleges that from that point, the cleric began pushing for the separation of the marriage and worked to prevent any security agency from looking into her whereabouts.

Idris also challenged claims that the woman's mother had travelled to Nigeria and taken her away, saying he personally processed the mother's travel documents to facilitate her visit.

GUMI DENIES THE CLAIMS

Speaking to Weekend Trust, Gumi denied the allegations and said he intended to sue Idris for defamation.

Malam Nasiru Ayuba, known as Dan Agaji, who serves as chairman of the Volunteers of Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna and as Gumi's personal assistant on special assignment, also rejected the allegation that the cleric was keeping the woman in his home.

He said the Moroccan woman had approached Gumi on her own initiative to seek help with a personal problem, and that Gumi stepped in after she indicated she had nowhere else to turn.

Ayuba said Gumi's supporters should remain calm while the matter was being resolved, adding that the cleric had been unfairly targeted on social media. He warned that private information about Idris could be made public if circumstances required it.

Politics › Defence Minister: El-rufai Planned Southern Kaduna Killings by Kingzjayzee(op): 1:34am On Sep 04
Minister of Defence Christopher Musa has accused former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai of deliberately planning the killing of people in Southern Kaduna.

Musa made the allegation while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.

The minister said El-Rufai’s administration created deep divisions in Kaduna State, alleging that the situation made it difficult for residents from Southern Kaduna to live freely in the northern part of the state and vice versa.

According to him, the administration of the current governor, Uba Sani, has made deliberate efforts to restore unity and rebuild trust among residents of the state.

“We know how it was when El-Rufai was there; it was toxic ,” Musa said.

“El-Rufai did a lot of terrible things in Kaduna State. He divided the country, the state, into two. In that, if you are from the south, you cannot go to the north to live. Those ones from the north were moving to the south.

“Governor Sani within one year has been able to dissolve all that. You see, now everybody is free, everybody has a say. It’s not 100%. Let me tell you, it’s not 100%, but you can see that he’s making deliberate effort in uniting the state.”

Speaking on the feelings of people in Southern Kaduna towards the former governor, Musa said the people remained deeply pained over killings recorded in the area during El-Rufai’s tenure.

He alleged that El-Rufai deliberately planned the killing of people in the region.

“Well, I don’t know if unhappy is an issue. I think if there’s anything worse than unhappy, we can never be happy with somebody who has deliberately planned for the killing of our people,” Musa said.

“I mean, when you look at it, if you look at his videos, you know, his speeches, he was very proud of what he did.

“He told us he paid bandits. He told us he did this, he did that. He didn’t hide it. He was that arrogant to come out and tell people that this was what he did.”

The Defence Minister said residents of Southern Kaduna were still traumatised by the killings that occurred during the period, adding that the security situation in the area had improved under the current administration.

“The Southern Kaduna people are still very pained. Of course, definitely. I mean, if you look at the number of killings that was done there and what is going on now, you can’t compare at all,” he said.

Musa further accused El-Rufai of denying some people opportunities during his administration and alleged that the former governor’s policies affected even people from his own part of the state.

“I can tell you what he has done to people living in Kaduna from his own area. He did a lot of things that I’m sure even him is not proud of,” he added.

The minister, however, called on Nigerians to reject politicians who exploit religion, ethnicity and other differences to divide the country.

“We should get politicians that want to unite Nigeria. For me, any individual who is using either religion, tribe, creed, or anything to divide the state can never be a friend; can never be somebody we look up to,” Musa said.

“We shouldn’t have those kind of ones in government. Anybody who is using religion or tribe or whatever to divide Nigeria is an enemy of the state."

Politics › Stop Patronising Unregulated Cart Pushers, Lagos Commissioner Urges Residents by Kingzjayzee(op): 11:51pm On Aug 29
The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has warned residents against patronising unregulated cart pushers.

Wahab gave the warning in a statement posted via his official X page on Saturday, saying their activities often result in indiscriminate dumping on medians, roads and drainage channels, with grave consequences for the environment and flood management.

This followed the monthly environmental sanitation exercise held in the Festac area of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area, which was attended by the Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat; his wife, Oluremi Hamzat; and other stakeholders.

The commissioner said the state was working to build a more efficient, sustainable and accountable waste management system, stressing that the informal, unregulated waste collection system being run by cart pushers undermines these efforts.

The statement read in part, “We must also discourage the patronage of unregulated cart pushers, whose activities often result in indiscriminate dumping on medians, roads and drainage channels, with serious consequences for the environment and flood management.”

Wahab linked residents’ willingness to pay for waste collection services to the quality and reliability of the services rendered by government-approved operators, noting that the ministry’s interventions were aimed at improving the system for all residents.

“We recognise that residents’ willingness to pay for waste collection is directly linked to the quality and reliability of the services provided. Our intervention is therefore focused on ensuring that the system works better for everyone,” he said.

He disclosed that the ministry was working round the clock to address challenges at landfills, dumpsites and critical waste collection points, while sustaining engagements with Private Sector Participation operators to improve service delivery across the state.

The commissioner insisted that keeping Lagos clean required a collective effort between government and residents, stating that government’s role in providing leadership, infrastructure and regulation could not substitute for individual responsibility.

“A cleaner Lagos requires a collective effort. Government will continue to provide the leadership, infrastructure and regulation needed, but residents must also take responsibility by properly disposing of their waste and keeping their surroundings clean, not only on sanitation days, but every day,” Wahab said.

Celebrities › “I Asked for ₦5bn, Bank Offered me ₦12bn Because they know it's Blord — Blord” by Kingzjayzee(op): 6:51pm On Aug 29
Nigerian businessman and social media personality Blord has claimed that a bank offered him a ₦12 billion loan after he initially requested ₦5 billion to expand the importation capacity of his gadget business.

Blord made the claim in a statement shared on social media, saying the bank contacted him after his request and questioned why he wanted only ₦5 billion.

According to him, the bank told him to increase the amount because of the strength of his business and reputation.

Blord said, “I talked to a bank to give me ₦5billion loan to increase the importation capacity of my gadget business. The bank called me today saying why am I asking for just N5B that I should take ₦12Billion because they know it’s BLord.”

His claim has sparked mixed reactions online, with some social media users questioning the statement and others marvelling at the alleged amount involved.

TV/Movies › Igbos Built Nollywood But Yorubas Have Become Dominant — Francis Duru by Kingzjayzee(op): 5:46pm On Aug 29
Veteran Nollywood actor Francis Duru has sparked debate with his views on the changing ethnic influence within Nigeria’s film industry, arguing that the Yoruba community has become more dominant because of its ability to organise and promote its own.

In a recent interview on Gbam, aired on the Yan Content Factory YouTube channel on Friday, Duru acknowledged the contributions of Yoruba pioneers such as Herbert Ogunde to Nigerian theatre and performance arts in the 1950s.

However, he argued that the modern Nollywood home-video industry was largely driven by Igbo entrepreneurs during the 1990s and early 2000s.

According to the actor, Igbo traders played a major role in developing the home-video market that eventually evolved into the Nollywood industry known globally today.

Duru argued that the Yoruba community was more effective at pooling resources, creating opportunities for its members and protecting its cultural interests.

“The Yorubas epitomise the saying, ‘Charity begins at home.’ We need to learn from them. If you don’t protect and project your own, who will do it?” he said.

He also cited streaming platforms such as Netflix as evidence of what he described as the decline in the visibility of Igbo stories within Nollywood.

“We [Igbos] created Nollywood, but if you go to Netflix today, you hardly see one movie that speaks of Igbo heritage. But the Yorubas, on the other hand, created opportunities for themselves and utilised them,” Duru stated.

The actor blamed what he described as an individualistic mindset among some Igbos for the loss of influence.

“Igbos failed to learn because of their individualistic mentality. You think you are the big man, so you are self-centred. But you forget that a time will come when you need to be expansive,” he said.

Duru further expressed concern that Igbo history and culture are increasingly being portrayed by filmmakers from outside the community.

“We have great writers who are now writing for the Yorubas. You even see the Yorubas crossing over to write Igbo stories like Ahamefuna and making a mess of who we are,” he said.

Despite his criticism, Duru said his comments should not be interpreted as an attack on Yoruba filmmakers. Instead, he urged Igbos to learn from how the Yoruba community has promoted its own people and culture.

“Don’t get angry with them. These are people who saw their own and protected their own. What happened to you?” he asked.

He also questioned why more films had not been made about prominent Igbo figures and historical personalities.

“Igbos have many great men in Nigeria. When was the last time you saw the epic of one of these great men?” Duru asked.

His comments have since generated discussions around ethnicity, cultural ownership, collective investment and representation in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.

Phones › Whatsapp To Charge Businesses Per Message From October 1 by Kingzjayzee(op): 5:19pm On Aug 28
WhatsApp will begin charging businesses for customer replies sent through its Business Platform from October 1, 2026, in a move that could increase communication costs for businesses that rely heavily on the messaging service.

The new pricing will apply to businesses using the WhatsApp Business Platform, also known as the WhatsApp Business API, rather than individuals or businesses using the standard WhatsApp Business app.

Under the new model, [businesses will pay for delivered service messages that were previously free under WhatsApp’s customer service window.

For businesses in Nigeria, a chargeable utility-type message to a Nigerian number will cost about $0.0101, or roughly N14, based on the exchange rate used in the report.

Marketing messages will cost considerably more, at about $0.062, or approximately N84 per message.

The charges could become significant for companies that handle large volumes of customer interactions through WhatsApp.

For instance, a Nigerian fintech sending 500,000 chargeable messages at $0.0101 per message could incur about $5,050 in Meta messaging fees alone. Additional charges from business solution providers or software platforms may also apply.

The development is particularly important for Nigerian businesses because WhatsApp has become an important channel for customer service, sales, order updates, payment confirmations and other business communications.

Banks, fintechs, airlines, retailers, telecommunications companies and small businesses increasingly use WhatsApp to communicate with customers at scale.

Meta has been moving towards a per-message pricing structure since July 2025, when it replaced its previous conversation-based pricing model for business-initiated template messages.

However, service messages remained free within the 24-hour customer service window. The October 2026 change will remove some of that free treatment.

The new model means businesses will need to pay closer attention to the number and type of messages they send through the platform.

For small businesses and startups, the cost could be particularly significant where WhatsApp serves as both a customer service channel and a sales platform.

The charges are based on the recipient’s country and the category of message, meaning businesses operating across different African markets will face different rates.

The development also underscores how WhatsApp has evolved from a simple messaging application into an important business infrastructure platform across Africa.

As businesses become increasingly dependent on the service for customer communication, Meta is turning that commercial activity into a recurring source of revenue.

For African startups and SMEs, the new charges could encourage businesses to become more selective about the messages they send and consider which customer interactions genuinely need to happen through the WhatsApp Business Platform.

The change does not mean ordinary WhatsApp users will suddenly be charged for sending messages, nor does it introduce a general fee for using the standard WhatsApp Business application. The affected businesses are those using Meta’s Business Platform for customer communication at scale.

Celebrities › Fela Not Originator Of Afrobeats – Tekno by Kingzjayzee(op): 1:34pm On Aug 28
Singer, Augustine Miles Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno, has sparked controversy after claiming that the late music maestro, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was not the originator of Afrobeats, as widely believed.

Speaking in a recent interview with Hot 97 FM in New York, Tekno argued that there are many music legends, such as Oliver De Coque, who also contributed to the evolution of Afrobeats as much as Fela did.

He claimed that Fela took “all the credits” because he was more travelled and “opportune.”

He explained that Fela was a legend who contributed immensely to the genre, but that others also deserved some credit.

“Fela is not the originator of Afrobeats. Lagos people and the Yorubas might say he is the one, but I am from the East, and we had legends like Oliver De Coque. Oliver De Coque made pure highlife music. Highlife is also Afrobeats.

“My song ‘Rara’ is heavily inspired by Fela because I heard his music while growing up. He is a legend. He was the one who took Afrobeat international. But there are other people that we listen to. In the East, we had some legends who sang some type of music that, if you heard today, you wouldn’t believe was made in those times.

“I feel like these legends deserved more recognition. I would say I was more inspired by Oliver De Coque and his peers from the East. My dad used to play his music a lot.

“Fela gets all the credit because he travelled and performed with his band around the world. To some people, he is the originator of Afrobeats, but to me, there are a bunch of them— legends that no one speaks about,” Tekno said.

The National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, has taken steps to stop the planned premiere of the movie Living in Colors in Lagos.

The board said it became aware of promotional materials for the film’s media press call and premiere scheduled for this weekend at a cinema facility in the state, reports The Cable.

According to the NFVCB, preliminary investigations into the movie’s trailer allegedly revealed explicit content and content promoting same-gender relationships.

The board said the movie had not been submitted for classification, making its public exhibition or promotion illegal.

NFVCB PARTNERS WITH SECURITY AGENCIES TO STOP PREMIERE

According to Premium Times, the NFVCB disclosed that it is working with federal and state security agencies to locate, disrupt and stop the planned event.

The board also said it had contacted the management of the exhibition centre and other venue providers connected to the premiere.

The venue operators were warned that hosting an unclassified film could lead to the immediate sealing of the facility and revocation of its operational licences.

But the board’s action does not end with the planned premiere.

The NFVCB announced that legal proceedings are being initiated against Prism House Studio, as well as the individual producers and promoters involved in the movie.

It further warned content creators, cinema operators and distribution platforms against assisting in the promotion or exhibition of the film.

The board cited the NFVCB Act and the Same-gender Marriage (Prohibition) Act in explaining its position

The controversy comes just days before the movie’s planned YouTube release on August 30.

The NFVCB reiterated its commitment to enforcing Nigeria’s film and video content regulations and protecting what it described as the country’s moral and cultural values.

Health › Russian Chess Official Dies Of Suspected Malaria After Nigeria Trip by Kingzjayzee(op): 11:34pm On Aug 27
Russian chess official, Sergei Indeikin has died at the age of 36 after reportedly developing a severe form of malaria following a work trip to Nigeria.

Indeikin, who served as an operational manager and delegate of the International Chess Federation, FIDE, travelled to Abuja earlier in August for the FIDE World Amateur Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships.

Russian media, including Argumenty i Fakty (AIF) and Lenta.ru, reported that relatives and colleagues attributed the infection to his trip to Nigeria.

AIF, citing his father, Alexander, reported on August 24 that “shortly before his death, his son was on a business trip to Abuja, Nigeria. He then travelled to Uzbekistan, where he began to feel ill.”

According to the report, Indeikin’s father said the symptoms described to him by his son’s FIDE colleagues indicated malaria.

“He travelled from Uzbekistan to Moscow, but didn’t stay in the capital, where his father lives, instead heading to Perm to join his mother. However, his condition worsened there. An ambulance was called for him, and he was hospitalised, but his condition could not be saved,” the report said.

AIF also quoted Alexander, saying, “His son was vaccinated before his trip to Nigeria, flying to Moscow from Pyatigorsk, where he lives permanently, specifically for the purpose. His son said that the vaccine could mitigate the risk, but it doesn’t guarantee 100% protection.”

FIDE’s coverage of the competition confirmed Indeikin’s presence in Abuja, where he was listed among the officials involved in the tournament.

The championship was held from August 1 to 8.

FIDE announced Indeikin’s death on August 23 on its X handle, describing it as the result of a “sudden illness” without publicly identifying the specific medical condition.

Its obituary read, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague Sergei Indeikin, FIDE Operational Manager, following a sudden illness.”

Meanwhile, Russian business newspaper Izvestia reported that Indeikin’s mother, Tatiana, told the publication on August 24 that the cause of death was a severe form of malaria.

According to her, Sergei contracted the disease while working and his condition deteriorated rapidly over two weeks.

“He had already arrived. And he arrived in Perm. He was admitted to the hospital, it was too late. He had a very rapid-onset illness. The most severe form,” she was quoted as saying.

AIF also quoted medical expert Professor Alexander Lukashev as explaining that malaria can be transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito in Nigeria and other tropical regions.

Other Russian media organisations, including Lenta.ru, reported that Indeikin was bitten by a mosquito while attending the chess tournament in Nigeria and that the bite was suspected to have transmitted the malaria parasite.

Indeikin had been involved in FIDE events since 2021 and played a role in organising several major international competitions, including World Championship matches, World Cups, Candidates Tournaments, and World Rapid and Blitz Championships.

FIDE described him as an important member of its operations team who travelled extensively to help ensure that major chess events were successfully organised.

He is survived by his wife and daughter.

However, while Indeikin’s family and several Russian media reports have linked his illness to severe malaria allegedly contracted during his trip to Nigeria, FIDE has officially attributed his death only to a sudden illness and has not independently confirmed malaria as the medical cause of death.

Meanwhile, ongoing effort is being made to get comment from the Nigeria Chess Federation.

Business › Samsung Ordered To Pay Swatch US$11.6 Million Over Copied Smartwatch Apps by Kingzjayzee(op): 2:01pm On Aug 27
Samsung Electronics was ordered to pay Swatch Group US$11.6 million (S$14.75 million) for failing to prevent apps that mimicked the Swiss company’s luxury brands such as Breguet, Longines and Omega on its own smartwatch displays.

The High Court’s trademark ruling, published Aug 26, came after the Swiss watchmaker sought about US$170 million from the Korean technology giant for displaying the Swatch brands. Samsung argued at trial that the damages weren’t worth more than about $300.

“Use of the Swatch Group brands on Samsung’s supermarket shelves, downloadable for nothing or for little money, is to my mind very damaging,” Judge Marcus Smith said in the ruling.

“The low price is demeaning of the brands the Swatch Group seek to promulgat[/b]e.”

A previous judgment found Samsung had infringed the Swiss watchmaker’s trademarks by allowing designs that replicated the appearance of Swatch Group watches for digital watch displays on its app store between 2015 and 2019.

“We are carefully considering the High Court’s judgment and will consider all possible countermeasures, including an appeal,” a Samsung spokesperson said.

Swatch Group carefully curated and promoted its brands over decades, which formed a critical part of their business, the judge said.

“[b]It is quite clear that Samsung does not value the marks as such, and considers that they make no real marginal difference to its offering to consumers
,” Smith said.

The judge assessed the damages at US$11.6 million after factoring in royalties on about 160,000 downloads of the infringing watch-face apps in Europe.

“Samsung repeatedly attempted to downplay the scale and significance of the infringements by trivialising the compensation owed to the Swatch Group’s well-known brands,” a Swatch Group spokesperson said.

A separate proceedings brought by the same 10 brands of the Swatch Group against Samsung are pending in a US Court, it said.

Just that they aren't brand new like inside their original retail box but that doesn't mean they are fake. They are genuine. You can also get phones like that on Amazon, AliExpress and so on. They are called pre-owned. They can also be called refurbished. Not in the sense that we think it as Nigerians. But in the real sense of the actual meaning. Visit Amazon and learn more.

Crime › Court Sentences Lagos Socialite To 45 Years For Cocaine Trafficking by Kingzjayzee(op): 6:23am On Aug 20
In a dramatic fall from grace that has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s high society, prominent Lagos socialite and businesswoman, Mrs. Funmilola Arike Ogbuaya, widely known as “Ariket,” has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for her role in running a high-profile narcotics trafficking ring.

The conviction, handed down by the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, brings an abrupt end to years of court battles and exposes the illicit underbelly of an empire built on international drug smuggling and money laundering.

FROM HIGH-SOCIETY GLAMOUR TO to MAXIMUM SECURITY

The conviction comes just days after Ogbuaya hosted a lavish 60th birthday celebration in Lagos, attended by elite socialites, business associates, and political figures.

Known for her extravagant lifestyle and visible presence in the event and real estate sectors, the owner of D Square Event Centre and Zu-Ket Homes was convicted following a multi-year trial prosecuted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Presiding over the matter, the court sentenced Ogbuaya on multiple counts of conspiracy, unlawful possession, procurement, and aiding and abetting the trafficking of hard drugs, ordering that the prison terms run concurrently.

THE 2017 AIRPORT BUST AND COURIER CONFESSION

The unraveling of Ogbuaya’s narcotics empire traces back to February 2017 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos. NDLEA operatives intercepted her drug courier, Odeyemi Omolara (also known as Ariyo Monsurat Olabisi), as she attempted to board a flight bound for Saudi Arabia.

A thorough search of Omolara’s luggage revealed 1.595 kilogrammes of pure cocaine concealed in flatly packed nylon compartments. Upon discovery, an arresting NDLEA officer testified that the courier broke down at the airport, weeping and declaring, “Ariket has killed me; Ariket has finished me”.

Omolara subsequently confessed during interrogation that Ogbuaya was the mastermind who procured and handed her the narcotics for exportation. Omolara was earlier convicted and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for her role in the crime.

BILLIONS IN ASSETS UNCOVERED ACROSS THREE STATES

Following Ogbuaya’s arrest and subsequent trial, financial intelligence officers with the NDLEA launched an extensive tracing of her financial footprint and acquisition channels. Investigations uncovered real estate properties, event centers, and commercial plots valued at billions of Naira strategically distributed across Lagos, Ogun, and Osun states.

Anti-narcotics agency sources confirm that civil forfeiture proceedings have been initiated to ensure all landed properties, luxury facilities, and bank balances linked to the drug network are permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

BACKGROUND AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Ogbuaya’s prosecution spanned nearly nine years, marked by intricate legal maneuvers, re-arraignments, and appeals. First arraigned in 2017 alongside Omolara before Justice Hadizat Rabiu-Shagari, the case suffered delays before being re-arraigned before Justice Deinde Dipeolu at the Federal High Court.

Throughout her trials, Ogbuaya—who also operated under aliases such as Funmilola Ogundipe—maintained her innocence while attempting to quash charges via no-case submissions. However, meticulous evidence presented by the NDLEA prosecution team, including testimony from arresting officers, forensic drug tests, and the co-conspirator’s detailed statements, proved beyond reasonable doubt that Ogbuaya ran the syndicate.

The sentencing serves as one of the most severe convictions handed down to a high-society figure in recent Nigerian history, underscoring the NDLEA’s intensified crackdown on major drug kingpins operating under the guise of legitimate business enterprise.
