"[Eyeballs emoji] Nah me and puff fight over business sh*t," wrote Fif. "If he like the girl, he like the girl [eyeballs emoji] I don’t give a f*ck !" While 50 Cent reportedly spent the holidays with Daphne and Sire, the rapper has been happily in a relationship with girlfriend Jamira Haines since 2019.

Drug trafficker EXCRETES 113 wraps of cocaine worth N423m

A suspected drug trafficker, Okonkwo Chimezie Henry, has excreted 113 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.750 kg with a street value of N423 million.

This followed his arrest at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos on Easter Day, Sunday, 4th April, 2021, where he was headed for Madrid, Spain.

Director, Media and Advocacy, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Headquarters, Abuja, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja yesterday.

The statement reads, “Okonkwo was about boarding a Turkish Airline flight number TK0626 at about 8pm when he was apprehended at screening 2 point and taken into custody by the NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport. He was subsequently put under observation at the JBTF/NDLEA facility for further investigation.

“Twenty four hours after putting him under excretion observation, the suspect, who has been living in Spain for 10 years, excreted 39 wraps of cocaine and subsequently passed out a total of 113 wraps in five excretions. Further investigation reveals he ingested the illicit drug in a hotel in the Igando area of Lagos.”

The statement quoted the Commander, MMIA Command of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Garba, as saying, “the suspect excreted 39 wraps weighing 600 grammes at 9.58am on April 5; 13 wraps weighing 200 grammes at 6.30pm same day; 16 wraps weighing 250 grammes at 10.30pm same day; and 32 wraps weighing 500 grammes at 7.30am on April 6.”

Babafemi said operatives at the airport also intercepted a 2.8kg of skunk meant for Dubai in UAE through Emirate Airline.

“The illicit drug was concealed in crayfish, bitter leaves and melons packaged in a sack but was recovered at the SAHCO export shed of the MMIA, he said.

Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the NDLEA, Brig. General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), in his reaction commended officers and men of the MMIA Command for not allowing criminal elements take advantage of the Easter holiday to further their illicit trade, and dent Nigeria’s image abroad.

Kogi Poly student, Mohammed Shehu, caught with gun, ammunition on campus

Attempt by Shehu Mohammed, a Public Administration student of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, to smuggle a locally made gun and five rounds of ammunition into campus was foiled by security personnel of the institution on Friday.

Vigilant security personnel of the Polytechnic were surprised during a routine check that instead of writing materials, the student came to the school with a gun.

On discovery of his strange ‘wares’ Mohammed had attempted to run away but the security personnel were able to stop him.

He was purportedly on the campus purportedly to write his ND II final examination before he was stopped by the ‘stop and search’ officer and was asked to hand over his belongings.

He has since been handed over to the appropriate law enforcement agency for further interrogation and investigation.

It was believed that the student was a cultist and may be planning to use the gun during the usually deadly end-of-examination celebrations by his colleagues.

Kogi Poly Rector, Dr. S.O Usman had announced a ban of such celebrations few days ago.

Usman said the ban was based on intelligence report that some suspected cultists would be coming to the campus with ammunition to avenge their colleague who was killed after the end of examination celebration of 2019.

Veteran actors suffer depression when forgotten –Foluke Daramola-Salako

Actress and movie producer, Foluke Daramola-Salako, has said that many veteran actors suffer depression because of neglect.

Daramola-Salako, who recently celebrated the birthdays of some actors including 97-year-old Charles Olumo, aka Baba Agbako, and Tajudeen Oyewole, aka Abija, maintained that she was not being bankrolled by anyone.

She told Saturday Beats, “My main purpose is to attract publicity for elderly actors. I decided to celebrate their birthdays pending when I have my major event. 

I have always said that a lot of these aged actors are facing depression. Some don’t die just because they are old but being once active and suddenly not being active anymore could be a painful experience for them. 

Sometimes, it is not about the money that I or any other person gives them. It is a matter of showcasing them, so that their talent is still appreciated. I can tell you as a movie director that there is a place for these aged veterans in the movies we make.

“Some people think that someone is sponsoring me but I am stressing that no philanthropist is sponsoring me. Everything I am spending is from my pocket. If anyone decides to sponsor me, I would announce it and appreciate the person.

 I have been true to this course because it is a project I love. In fact, the reason I opened a restaurant and bar is that I might run out of funds to host these veterans at event centres and I would gladly use my space. Any politician or anyone that has bankrolled me over these projects is free to speak out.”

When asked why she did not enlist the support of other colleagues, the actress said, “I left the ‘Nolly veteran SOS Project 2019’, an offshoot of Passion Against Rape and Abuse in Africa Foundation open to a lot of people so that we could all help.

 But, the truth is that our goals are not the same. My husband believes in me so he has continued to help me in that path. I believe that a nation without heroes is a nation without history.

 We don’t have many icons that we look up to now. The ones alive are meant to be celebrated and we should all look out for them. These veterans are giving up and dying in penury. 

Growing up, I held these people in high esteem because their works and skills were worthy of emulation. I should also state that some actors personally reach out to some veterans. They support them from time to time without going public about it.”

Gunmen on motorcycles kidnap petrol dealer in Ekiti

Suspected gunmen in Isan-Ekiti, Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State, have kidnapped a petrol dealer, Mr. Itakorode Adebayo. 

Itakorode is the general manager of Prosperous Filling Station, located at Isan-Ekiti, hometown of the sate governor, Kayode Fayemi.

This incident happened few months after a chieftain of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Alhaji Suleiman Akinbami was kidnapped by unknown gunmen at his filling station along Ado-Ijan Road.

It was gathered that gunmen numbering eight had invaded the petrol station around 7pm on Thursday and abducted the victim.

 The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, ASP Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the incident, said a team of police operatives and detectives, including the Amotekun Corps and local hunters have been deployed to rescue the victim.

Abutu said they had been mandated to rigorously comb the bushes and the forests across the state to ensure they rescue the man.

 The command’s spokesman explained that the gunmen stormed the filling station through the bush on about six motorcycles and started shooting sporadically before whisking the victim away.

Abutu said: “The Ekiti State Police Command, in addition to the rescue teams deployed, has contacted all the border states for possible assistance towards the rescue of the victim and the arrest of the perpetrators.”

I won’t pay ransom even if my son is kidnapped - El-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said he will never pay ransom to bandits even if they kidnap his son.

The governor said this in a radio chat on Friday in Kaduna to underscore his government’s policy of not negotiating with bandits.

Mr El-Rufai has consistently said government should only apply force in dealing with bandits and other violent criminals, reiterating the stand on Thursday by stressing that bandits do not deserve to live.

In his current remarks on Friday, Mr El-Rufai said he had warned his family members to be careful to avoid being abducted. He said he also told them he would never pay a ransom for their freedom, should any of them get into the hands of bandits.

“I mean it and I will say it again here. Even if my son is kidnapped, I will rather pray for him to make heaven instead, because I won’t pay any ransom.”

Asked what his government was doing to secure the release of the students kidnapped at the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Kaduna, in March, the governor said the government would keep exploring other ways to get them back to their families but stressed that the government is “absolutely not paying ransom.”

He said the state government will keep exploring those other means until the students are released.

Mr El-Rufai has been under pressure from the parents of the students, other concerned persons and groups to negotiate with the bandits for the release of the students.

The state governments of Katsina, Niger and Zamfara were believed to have negotiated with the abductors for the release of hundreds of students kidnapped from schools in the states.

Don Jazzy’s ex-wife, Michelle Jackson finally reacts to her height in the viral wedding photos

The ex-wife of Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy, Michelle Jackson has finally reacted to those talking about her height in the viral wedding photos her ex-husband shared couple of days ago.

Don Jazzy took to social media to shock many fans and followers after she revealed he was once married about 18 years ago but the marriage wasn’t successful because of his ambitions and his desire to make it in the music industry at that time.

As many were questioning the looks of the music mogul comparing it to his present looks, others drew their attention to the height between Don Jazzy and Michelle Jackson as it shows Michelle was far taller than Jazzy in the wedding photos.

Michelle has taken to her Instagram page to address the issue which popped up concerning her heights in the wedding photos.

She slammed critics of jumping into conclusion without knowing all the facts to the story or better still, the photo. She added the reasons why she looks taller than Don Jazzy in the wedding photos was because she was standing on a stair above where Jazzy was standing.
