A lion at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Wildlife Park in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has killed one of its handlers, Babaji Daule, in a deadly attack on Saturday morning.

Daule, a 35-year-old from Bauchi State, reportedly lost his life while attempting to feed the lion.

According to the police, the tragedy occurred when Daule failed to properly secure the lion’s enclosure before entering the area, giving the animal an opportunity to escape and attack him.

Ogun State Police Spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident after it was reported by the Chief Security Officer of the library.

“The Chief Security Officer informed the divisional police officer that the handler, Babaji Daule, was fatally injured by the lion at around 7:40 a.m. on September 28,” Odutola said.

The lion inflicted severe injuries to Daule’s neck, leading to his death. Police had to intervene, and the lion was shot to release its grip on the handler.

Daule’s body was later taken to the mortuary at Ijaye General Hospital.

Prominent social commentator and critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has called on President Bola Tinubu to keep the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in his cabinet reshuffle, advocating instead for the removal of Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.

VeryDarkMan made this appeal in a video posted on his Facebook page on Friday, expressing his strong support for Tunji-Ojo’s performance.

In the video, VeryDarkMan said, “I just saw one news that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu wants to reshuffle his cabinet, and I saw the Minister of Interior’s picture, and I am like, what is the honourable minister’s picture doing there? I can beat my chest to say that the minister is working.

“So, President Tinubu, whatever you do, do not change Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. If there is somebody that needs to be swapped or reshuffled, it is the Minister of Power.”

He further criticized the current electricity distribution system that separates citizens into different usage bands, which he believes unfairly benefits wealthier Nigerians.

“He needs to be removed because the segregation between Band A, Band B, and Band C makes no sense. What is the reason for that segregation? Are you trying to say that the poor people are not meant to use light for 24 hours? Which one be say Band A go dey get light pass while Band B no go really dey get light? It makes no sense because we are all Nigerians.

He further reiterated his support for Tunji-Ojo, emphasizing that the Minister of Interior is “making us proud” and should not be affected by the impending cabinet reshuffle.

Verydarkman addes, “So, President Tinubu, with all due respect, do not touch BTO; do not touch the Minister of Interior. He is making us proud.”

Investigative findings have revealed that James Brown, who claimed to have visited Nigerian transgender icon Bobrisky in prison, did not meet her during his visit.

This revelation comes after social media user Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, released a phone conversation on Tuesday in which Bobrisky confessed to serving her sentence outside of prison.

In the recording, Bobrisky alleged that she paid ₦15 million to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have her money laundering charges dropped.

These disclosures have raised questions about the credibility of Brown’s claims regarding his purported visit.

The findings indicate that, contrary to Brown’s announcement on June 8, he did not meet Bobrisky at Kirikiri prison.

Sources confirmed that by the time of Brown’s visit, Bobrisky had already been released after serving just three weeks of her six-month sentence.

A source close to James Brown stated that he actually visited another inmate named Vindicate, who had invited him to collaborate on a song from prison. This visit was reportedly approved by prison authorities due to their interest in the project.

The source said, By the time James visited, Bobrisky was no longer in prison.

“James went there to see one guy called Vindicate who had invited him to join in recording a song from prison. The prison authorities liked the idea of a song recorded from prison, so they let him come.

“I don’t know why James lied that he went to see Bobrisky; maybe for clout. I will send you videos of James in prison with the people he went there to see. But have you ever seen just one photo of Bob and James in prison?

The timeline of Brown’s visit aligns with reports indicating that Bobrisky had left Kirikiri by June, allegedly due to a paid arrangement that allowed her to serve her sentence outside prison.
