Recall that the FCT Police command on Saturday confirmed the arrest of Honourable Emmanuel Odiniya over alleged assault on his daughter, Miss Ilebaye Odiniya, winner of the 2023 Big Brother Naija Reality Television Reality Show.

The reality TV show winner (Ilebaye Odiniya) through a viral video which circulated on Saturday, appearing in an emotional and alleging she was assaulted by some men.

In the video, the reality TV star was seen crying and pleading for help while showing what appeared to be visible swelling on her face, while being beaten.

The FCT Police Command Spokesperson, SP , Josephine Adeh in a statement confirmed the arrest and detention of Honourable Odiniya assuring that investigation has been activated.

SP Adeh said,:”On the 9th of May, 2026, at about 12:00 a.m., the FCT Police Command responded to a distress call from Royal Anchor Estate, Wuye, Abuja, reporting an ongoing physical assault on Ms. Ilebaye Odiniya Emmanuel by her father, Honourable Emmanuel Odiniya.

“Following the report, a patrol team from Wuye Division, supported by operatives of the Department of Operations, FCT Police Command, was immediately deployed to the scene.

“The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer was also present to monitor the operation.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered that the gate to the residence was locked. After several attempts, access was gained into the compound at about 2:30 a.m. Ms. Ilebaye Odiniya, who was found with visible bruises, was rescued alongside her brothers and rushed to NNPC Hospital Abuja, where she received medical attention.”

The statement added that, ”Hon. Emmanuel Odiniya is currently in police custody, while a thorough investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.”

Mother of the children, Mrs Lami who is rsaid to be estranged from her husband reportedly said on Saturday that the confrontation happened when Ilebaye visited her father’s home to see her younger brothers and discuss plans ahead of her 24th birthday on 9 May.

She said the discussion turned into an argument after Mr. Odiniya allegedly accused Ilebaye of being influenced by her mother.

The incident reportedly brought renewed attention to the family’s strained relationship since the couple’s 32-year marriage ended.
Lami said a court had earlier granted Mr. Odiniya custody of their two sons, aged 11 and 14.

I wonder if the honourable Minister of Women Affairs @ImmaculateIman will be interested in this case of battering by her father and how the @PoliceNG under the leadership of IG @jimidisu will handle the case. Nigerians are keenly watching pic.twitter.com/yaeM9c2adI

According to someone close to Ilebaye, police officers are currently at Ilebaye’s location, but her father has refused to open his gate to them.

Ilebaye’s mother had allegedly left her husband in 2024 because of domestic violence, and there is now a new wife in the house.

“Ilebaye will hit me anytime I try to talk to her. I asked her to lend me money for my medical check-up in Dubai and she refused but she was spraying money at Cross wedding. I hit her out of provocation to scold her because I can’t watch her destroy her life”

These people really think the rest of Nigerians are fools , where did he implement any thing ? Where is the police academy in the east ?

Today I was elected the Deputy Chairman (NDC South West). It is a great honour to serve in our great Party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress. It is not out of place to say that NDC's first ever National Convention is the best and one of its kind.

I am delighted to have led a strong and coordinated South West and Lagos delegation to the NDC National Convention in Abuja, where party stakeholders gathered to discuss the future of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. She also joined other party leaders in welcoming dignitaries, stakeholders, lawmakers, youth groups, and supporters from across the country to the convention.

The South West delegation recorded one of the convention’s most visible and organized representations, actively participating in strategic meetings, leadership consultations, and other convention activities. Supporters from across the region also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the party’s structure and unity.
