Mohbad’s father, Mr Joseph Aloba gets emotional, cries on Tiktok live during the hearing of the pathologist’s report on his son’s death.

After waiting for the verdict on the autopsy for over seven months, the pathologist finally spoke on the matter.

However, the results were unfavorable as he revealed they couldn’t ascertain the cause of the death because the body was already decomposed before the autopsy began.

Nigerian singer Portable has reportedly been released from the Lagos State Police Command’s custody after meeting bail conditions.

Portable was detained on Tuesday for allegedly failing to complete payment for his fancy SUV, the G-Wagon.

The ‘Zazzu’ singer had bought a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 from Ogunsanwo Temitope (Temmy Autos), an auto dealer in Lagos, but failed to complete payment.

It was discovered that Portable paid only N13 million after purchasing the vehicle, which was valued at N27 million. He is believed to have refused to pay the N14 million balance.

During a live session with his fans on social media, the ‘Twice as Tall’ artist shared his perspective on the matter. He expressed that while he refrains from boasting about his charitable deeds online, a considerable amount of his income is dedicated to enhancing the community.

Burna Boy encouraged others to recognize the substantial contributions he makes towards community development, rather than solely focusing on his expenditures on luxury items such as diamonds and cars.

The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has suspended Senator Jimoh Ibrahim.

Ibrahim, who represents Ondo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly was suspended for alleged anti-party activities.

The lawmaker was suspended by members of the APC Executive Committee of Igbotako Ward 11 in Okitipupa Local Goverment Area of Ondo State.

The notice was signed by ward executive members including Bakere Usuf, Tore Obwoselu, Oloyinmi Idowu, Borewaye Louyomi, Oladipupo Bose, Alkimbobola Seyi, Lawal-Babatunde, Aritawe-Ademole, Akinkuoju Olarewaju and Fabioye Ajoke.

Ibrahim’s suspension is coming after he lost out in the party’s governorship primary election in the state.
However, the notice read, “We, the members of the APC Executive Commince of Igbotako Ward 11 in Okitipupa Local Goverment Areu of Ondo State, convened meeting on Monday, May 13th, 2024, During our meeting, we deliberated extensively on various issues affecting the progress and development of our party, notably indiscipline and insubordination among some members.

“We have found Senator Jimoh Ibrahim’s actions and activities to be in violation of the party’s constitution, particularly his decision to sue the party as well as his anti-party activities. As such, we have resolved to take appropriate disciplinary action against him as outlined in the party’s constitution. Senator Jimoh Folorunso Ibrahim is hereby suspended from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect for acts of insubordination and anti-party activities In accordance with Article 21, Section A of APC Constitution.

“It is worth recalling that the National Party Chairman of APC, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, met with all Ondo State governorship aspirants on April 25th, 2024, in Abuja.

“During the meeting, he urged them to cooperate with the party’s candidate and incumbent Governor of Ondo State, Honorable Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, Despite this, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim Folorunso proceeded to sue the Governor and APC, blatantly disregarding party instructions. Additionally, he has engaged in anti-party activities by urging his supporters in Igbotako and Ondo State to join NPP, claiming he will soon receive the gubernatorial ticket from them.

“Senator Jimoh has openly declared his intent to disrupt APC before leaving the party, as evidenced by his actions in the Federal High Court in Abuja and his derogatory remarks about APC in various media outlets.”

Uriel Oputa, a well-known reality star, expressed her disappointment with a lady who had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) but neglected to use deodorant, resulting in an unpleasant environment when sharing the same space.

The former BBNaija contestant, who recently identified herself as old-fashioned and discussed her plans to keep her future husband hidden once engaged, once again made headlines.

Through an Instagram story post, Uriel alluded to the uncomfortable situation surrounding a lady who, despite appearing stylish with her BBL, failed to maintain proper hygiene.

She emphasized the importance for women to prioritize investing in deodorant as much as they do in enhancing their physical appearance, stressing that it is unacceptable for a woman to emit an unpleasant odor.

Despite acknowledging the lady’s beauty, the chef likened the smell emanating from her to that of sweat accumulated from two days of intense gym workouts without showering.

“Pls if you can afford BBL Pls also afford deodorant Because the smell coming from this beautiful woman is Scary… How can you focus on just the physical? Such a shame. Such a pretty girl…

“A lot of people need to detox their bodies… Can’t be looking like a Baddie Then smelling like Frank, after working out for 2 nights without showering,” she wrote.

Rivers crisis: Re-contest election – APC group tells lawmakers
2 mn read

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Frontier has advised the members of the Rivers State Assembly whose seats were recently declared vacant to go back and contest fresh elections.

The group in a statement on Thursday said the lawmakers’ defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was a betrayal of the trust and mandate given to them.

Signed by its national president, Comrade Ajani Martins, the statement further described the defectors as political prostitutes who had no place in the APC.

According to Martins, their defection was not only morally wrong but a clear sign of their lack of principles and integrity.

Martins, therefore, said the ruling party doesn’t support such illegality and treachery, adding that those who voted for them deserved better.

“We have followed the political crisis in Rivers State and actions taken by major actors, including the assembly members.

“Our great party condemns in the strongest terms the treacherous defection of the 25 Parliamentarians.

“This act of political prostitution is a betrayal of the trust and mandate given to them by their party and the people.

“We reject and disown them and their selfish interests, which have led them to abandon the principles and values that their party stands for.

“It is clear that they lack commitment to any party’s ideals and have shown willingness to sacrifice the interests of their people for personal gain.

“We will not tolerate such treachery and will take all necessary steps to ensure that those who have betrayed the trust of the people are held accountable.

“We trust our party to continue to stand firm on our principles and values, and we will not be swayed by the selfish interests of a few individuals.

“To our loyal members and supporters, we urge you to remain steadfast and committed to our party’s cause.

“We will continue to work tirelessly to serve the interests of our people and to build a better future for our nation.

“We value loyalty, commitment, and dedication to our party’s principles and values, and we cannot guarantee that those who have abandoned their previous party affiliations share these qualities.

“We, therefore, advise the lawmakers to return home and re-contest. As it stands, they have lost their seats in the House. Our party doesn’t support illegality.”

LP crisis: Let’s join hands, fight our enemies not ourselves – Abure begs NLC

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Comrade Julius Abure, appealed to the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and its leadership to let bygones be bygones.

Abure made the appeal at a press conference, at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, on Wednesday, begging the NLC to join hands with the LP and end the collective misery of Nigerians occasioned by bad governance.

According to him, it would be in the collective interest of LP, the NLC and elected members of the party in the National Assembly for the party to be at peace in order to chart a new course for the nation.

“We must create an enabling environment to capture power and use the same for the betterment of our people.

“Consequently, I want to appeal to first, my own brother, friend and Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the NLC whom we have worked together in the trenches over the years in the struggle for the workers, to put aside whatever may be his grievances and let’s work in the interest of our people.

“Fighting the Labour Party at this time is uncalled for and unwarranted, especially at this time when the working people of Nigeria are suffering.

“We need not waste or dissipate our collective energies in fighting ourselves over nothing.

“For us, we feel that all the bickering, fights and attacks on the leadership of the party are absolutely unnecessary. Moreso, they are anchored in falsehood, motivated by inordinate ambition and selfish interest.

“It is therefore in our collective interest to put all our energies and resources together and begin to fight our common enemy and reposition our party for better performance,” Abure said.

He thanked Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, and other party members and leaders who supported the party to hold a successful convention.

NAFDAC urges Nigerians to be supportive in fighting counterfeit products in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the arrest was made at the Garki and Wuse axis, during an enforcement to curb substandard goods.

Speaking with newsmen after the enforcement, Embugushiki-Musa Godiya, NAFDAC Head of Investigation and Enforcement, Federal Taskforce, said that the arrested persons would be investigated.

Godiya said that NAFDAC would work to ensure that fake cosmetics and other counterfeit products were completely wiped out of the country.

He said that the agency had been investigating some of these counterfeit cosmetics, following intelligence reports, adding that some of these products were illegally imported into the country, despite security at the border.

“NAFDAC is present in all the ports of entry of the country, but with the nature of our borders, these smugglers will always find a way to beat the system that the government had put in place.

“That is why if they escape from the port or borders, we go to the market and to all the places, gather intelligence report, go after them and confiscate these product for possible prosecution,” Godiya said.

He said that the market value of the seized cosmetics is ₦35 million, adding that NAFDAC would continue investigation into the issue, to unravel the level of involvement of the suspects.

Godiya said that after the investigation, the management of the agency would take regulatory action, which probably may be the prosecution of those suspects for the crime committed. He called on Nigerians to collaborate with NAFDAC to fight counterfeit products in the country.

EPL: Walcott endorses ex-Chelsea star as ideal Guardiola’s successor at Man City
< 1 mn read

Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has endorsed former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas as the ideal successor for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Walcott, who has worked with Fabregas during their time at Arsenal, praised the Spaniard for his coaching qualities.

Fabregas is currently the assistant manager for Serie B outfit Como and has helped the team achieve promotion to the Italian top flight for the 2024–25 season.

Walcott believes that Fabregas has similar qualities to successful coaches like Xabi Alonso, Mikel Arteta, and Guardiola himself.

Walcott said (via Football365): “He is a born winner, very similar to the way you see someone like Xabi Alonso or a Mikel Arteta or even a Pep Guardiola coming through. I just feel he has that aura about him. Again, when he speaks, the players listen. They are attractive to players now. It will be a great club to go to and a great place to live.

“Now he is developing this new career, which is only going to improve and hopefully we will see him in the Premier League because he’ll be brilliant and he’ll be a good replacement for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City at some point.”

The Minister urged private broadcasters to participate in the Federal Government’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative to reduce operational costs through more affordable energy.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made the announcement during a meeting with the Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN) in Abuja on Wednesday.

The Minister explained that this initiative aligns with the administration’s commitment to fostering a supportive business environment for the media sector in Nigeria.

In a statement made available to Pulse, Idris said, “Let me say that the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation under my leadership, as part of our five pillars, will support all media platforms in this country, whether public or private.

“I can tell you that the President has directed the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to extend financing to media organisations at single-digit interest rates. I think you need to take advantage of that.”

He encouraged IBAN members to create viable proposals to tap into the financing facility provided by the Federal Government.

The Minister criticised the intentional breaches of advertising industry payment standards, particularly the failure of some practitioners to pay media organisations within the stipulated 90-day period.

Idris announced that the Advertising Regulatory Commission of Nigeria (ARCON) will ensure that all advertising payments owed to media organisations are promptly made.

The Minister urged private broadcasters to participate in the Federal Government’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative to reduce operational costs through more affordable energy.

Idris noted that with the President’s recent commissioning of three gas projects and other related efforts, Nigeria strives to achieve sufficient gas processing capacity for local use and export.

In addressing IBAN’s request to resume the Digital Switch Over (DSO) rollout, the Minister, expressing serious concerns about the initiative’s historically slow progress, emphasised the need for a renewed and energetic approach to ensure timely completion.

He mentioned that the President had directed the ministry to speed up the DSO project by implementing successful strategies from countries that have transitioned from analogue to digital broadcasting.

Arsenal’s rivals believe Mikel Arteta’s side are “in pole position” to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, according to the UK Telegraph.

Sesko signed for the Bundesliga team in a €24million deal from Red Bull Salzburg last summer.

Since then, the 20-year-old has scored 17 goals for Leipzig.

Sesko is also admired by Manchester United, with his agent in attendance at Old Trafford last Sunday for the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

However, Arsenal “have strong interest” in Sesko and are considering a move this summer.

Sesko has also attracted interest from Chelsea, who are expected to be in the market for a new striker in the summer window.

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has identified Sofyan Amrabat as a ‘very important’ player in his squad after the Red Devils’ Premier League 3-2 win against Newcastle on Wednesday night.

Ten Hag said the Morocco international is vital in pressing and the counter-press, adding that he played well and did a good job against Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund gave Man United the victory against the visitors.

“I think he played a very good game. Very important for us in the pressing and the counter-press,” Ten Hag said at his post-match interview.

“He is doing a really good job keeping the team together, keeping the team compact and we had good moments to press, to control the game.”

Amrabatas greatly struggled since joining Man United on loan from Fiorentina last summer.

Newcastle United were ‘unfortunate’ not to receive a pivotal penalty in their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday, according to former England striker, Wayne Rooney.

Recall that Kobbie Mainoo netted first for Manchester United.

Anthony Gordon leveled the score shortly after halftime, but goals from Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund put the home team back in command.

A stunning late goal by Lewis Hall made for a tense finish, but Erik ten Hag’s side managed to secure the victory.

The controversy arose when Sofyan Amrabat, after losing possession, seemed to clip Gordon inside the penalty area.

However, referee Rob Jones and the VAR team ruled there was insufficient contact for a penalty.

Rooney, however, disagreed with the officials’ decision.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he stated, “That was a penalty in my opinion. Casemiro makes a solid tackle, but Amrabat clearly catches Gordon’s left heel. Newcastle were very unfortunate,” he said.

Four Premier League teams will be fighting for European football on the last day of the season.

Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa have all qualified for next season’s Champions League.

But Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United are fighting for European qualification.

On Wednesday night, United beat Newcastle 3-2 and Chelsea won 2-1 at Brighton.

The result leaves Spurs in fifth (63points), Chelsea in sixth (60), Newcastle in seventh (57) and United in eighth (57).

The teams that finish fifth and sixth will qualify for the Europa League if Manchester City win the FA Cup.

In that instance, seventh would go into the Conference League.

However, if United win the FA Cup, they will qualify for the Europa League, as well as the team finishing fifth.

In that scenario, the side in sixth would play in the Conference League and the side in seventh would miss out on Europe.

But if United finish sixth and win the FA Cup, the Conference League place again moves down to the side finishing seventh.

On the last day of the campaign, Manchester United are away at Brighton, Chelsea welcome Bournemouth, Spurs travel to Sheffield United and Newcastle take on Brentford.
