Nigeria Is A Den Of Kidnappers – Seun Kuti

Published

on

Nigerian musician, Seun Kuti has made a daring and unsettling proclamation, asserting that Nigeria has become a haven for kidnappers.

In a live Instagram session, Kuti leveled grave accusations against the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), alleging their complicity in the rising wave of kidnappings plaguing the nation.

Captioning the video, Kuti declared, “We are all kidnap victims. In fact, I am currently in a kidnappers den called Nigeria!!!”

Seun Kuti shared a chilling personal account of his time in the infamous cell one at Panti police station, claiming he was held alongside notorious criminals, including murderers and kidnappers.

Highlighting a disturbing twist, Kuti asserted that a notable portion of the alleged kidnappers were actually Police Officers acting as leaders within the same cell.

In a compelling plea, he drew a stark parallel, likening the requests for police bail to ransom payments.

Kuti argued that if individuals are coerced into paying for their release, it essentially transforms the situation into a form of being held hostage by the authorities.

Referencing the infamous case of Evans, once labeled the “number 1 kidnap kingpin,” Seun Kuti emphasized that despite Evans’ arrest, kidnapping incidents have persisted, indicating a systemic problem within law enforcement.

In a passionate plea, Kuti urged the Nigerian government to tackle the underlying causes of kidnapping in the country, emphasizing that the issue goes beyond mere criminal activity and requires a comprehensive approach.

He criticized the perceived politicization of kidnapping incidents, calling for authentic efforts to address the crisis.

Olajumoke Onibread Accuses Ex-Husband Of Assault, Career Sabotage

Published

on

Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.

In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.

“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.

Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.

“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.

Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”

Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.

“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.

Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.

The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
