“The person who started the story immediately brought it down when I called her. I don’t understand why people are fond of formulating stories.

I blame Nigerians for believing all the stories they come across online. I think it is high time we start asking questions when we see a report. We should ask for sources, which Nigerians don’t do.

When I made a complaint, it was brought down immediately. But you know the way the cyberspace is; other people had lifted it as a news story. It seems the people were excited that the Makun brothers had a fight.”

He went ahead to say that it is unthinkable for Lanre fight him. AY continued:


“Lanre exchanging blows with me, Richard Ayodeji Makun? That can only happen except he was not born by my late father, Makun. On our family group chat, we were just laughing.

Lanre was even worried about the negative effect the story could cause his image. If you know the years’ difference between Lanre and me, you will understand why Lanre cannot fight me. There are four other people that will slap Lanre before I get backstage.”

According to him, they have discovered where the story originated from. He said the person was bitter as they were not refunded after buying a fake ticket. He said,

“I had already come out in the open that I would only refund people who didn’t have access to my show because of the long queue, not because you got a fake ticket. You cannot expect me to pay the money criminals had taken from you. If you team up with me, we would trace where you got the ticket and we would find the criminals together.

“Some people used the opportunity to print their own tickets; they didn’t know that we had an invincible security.

You cannot see the security until we show you where it is with our security light. People who got fake tickets from any of our outlets will get their money back. But we will not respond to anyone who got a ticket from some guy at the entrance of Eko Hotel because we made it public where to get tickets.

After an investigation, we saw that everyone, who complained about buying a fake ticket, got it from a particular outlet and the outlet had been making refunds. The outlet has begged me; so, I cannot mention its name and I don’t want to spoil the name it has built over the years.

We have an existing partnership that has been on since the inception of AY Live. They (outlet officials) have arrested the individual that caused them the embarrassment too.

The Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, was thrown into mourning on Thursday following the death of a student of the institution.

The deceased student, who was identified as Deborah Olajide, was said to be a second year first class student of the Department of Food Science and Technology.

She was reportedly run over and killed by a vehicle on Wednesday night on the Akure-Ilesa Expressway, few metres away from the main gate of the university.

The driver of the vehicle was said to have escaped from the scene of the accident.

Following the incident, the students organised a procession in front of the school gate, which blocked the Akure-Ilesa Expressway for several hours on Thursday evening.

The development led to a traffic jam as travellers, especially those travelling to the northern part of the country, were stranded on the road.

It was learnt that the students didn’t return to the campus until around 11pm.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Femi Joseph, said the real cause of the student’s death was still unknown to the police.

He said, “The lifeless body of the deceased was found by the road on Thursday morning which gave impression that she might have been knocked down by a hit-and-run driver but we are not certain about the real cause yet. Since then, we have been appealing to the students to be patient with us to do our investigation on the matter.”

The Head of the Protocol and Public Relations Unit of the institution, Mr. Adegbenro Adebanjo, who also confirmed the incident, described it as sad and unfortunate.

He said the students did not protest to block the expressway but only observed a procession in honour of their departed colleague.

He said, “The victim died as a result of injuries sustained when she was knocked down on the expressway by a vehicle. But the students did not protest, they only held a procession to mourn their departed colleague. And the procession was closely monitored by officials from the Students Affairs Division to ensure that public peace was not breached in any way.

“At some point, the students converged on the very spot where the accident occurred to light their candles and this was responsible for the slight disruption in traffic flow on the expressway.”

The only thing we owe each other is to love unconditionally.

A35-year-old man, identified simply as Sikiru, has drowned in the swimming pool of a hotel in the Ishashi area of Lagos State.

It was gathered that Sikiru and his girlfriend had visited the hotel – Regional Hotel and Suites – on April 2 when the incident happened.

The girlfriend was said to have fled the facility while the hotel manager reported the case to the police who removed the corpse and deposited it in a morgue.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, said a preliminary investigation by detectives who visited the scene showed that there was no injury on the corpse.

He said, “The hotel manager reported that one of his customers, identified simply as Sikiru, whose address is still unknown, was found dead inside the hotel’s swimming pool upon diving into the water. Detectives went to the scene of crime and recovered the remains of the said man.

“No trace of injuries was found and no identification or phone recovered from him. The girlfriend that came with him disappeared immediately with all links of identification of the deceased. The corpse has been deposited in the Badagry General Hospital morgue for autopsy. Investigation is ongoing.”

Meanwhile the police in the state also arrested a suspected drug addict, Musendiku Christian, for allegedly killing his grandmother.

Christian, 24, reportedly hacked the octogenarian to death while she was asleep.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspect lived with the grandmother, Maria Ogabi, at Ishagira village, Ijanikin, Lagos.

A source said Christian had been having a running battle with the deceased, who always complained about his use of drugs.

The source explained that although he did not know the immediate cause of the attack on the woman, Christian was recently released from prison over a criminal case.

He said, “He is on drugs and well known for taking hemp. He has been living with the grandmother for a long time. I don’t know where his parents live. The grandma always warned him against smoking hemp, but he would not listen.

“In the early hours of Saturday, April 2, there was a distress call from their apartment. When people got to the place, the woman was found in a pool of blood with machete injuries on her body. She died on the spot.

“The case was reported to the police at the Ijanikin division and he was arrested. He just came back from prison.”

The PPRO, Oti, said the corpse had been deposited in the Badagry General Hospital mortuary.

He said, “The police received a report that the 80-year-old woman was hacked to death by the grandson, Musendiku Christian, at their residence.

“A police team visited and photographed the scene of the incident. The corpse was removed and taken to the general hospital mortuary, Badagry, for autopsy. The exhibit was recovered and the suspected arrested.”
