Destiny Boy’s Childhood Friend FINALLY Speaks — Shocking Details About What Led to His Death

Destiny Boy’s childhood friend, Big_Badda, has finally broken his silence and revealed what he claims led to the late singer’s tragic death.

According to him, he has not been himself since receiving the heartbreaking distress call. The pain in his heart became too heavy, and he felt forced to speak his truth.

He recalled that in early 2020, Destiny Boy visited his home in Lagos and opened up about his strong desire to rise fast in the music industry and gain global fame, even surpassing top stars like Davido, Wizkid, and Olamide. Big_Badda said he advised him to be patient and trust God’s timing, reminding him that success achieved the right way lasts longer.

Sadly, Destiny Boy reportedly said he could no longer wait. Big_Badda admitted that as a close friend, he failed him. Instead of standing firm in his advice, he allowed himself to be carried away by Destiny Boy’s desperation and ambition.

He revealed that Destiny Boy mentioned knowing a “baba” in Ogun State. According to him, they all agreed to follow Destiny Boy to meet the man, popularly known as Ikudaisi Osha, in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. The baba allegedly agreed to perform a fame ritual and reportedly said Destiny Boy would be famous for five years, known worldwide, with his songs streamed globally.

However, Big_Badda claimed that the consequences of the ritual were never explained to them.

Tragically, he said he was later shocked when a close friend, singer Bolisco, called him early one morning to inform him that Destiny Boy was vomiting blood. He rushed to his house immediately, but sadly, before he arrived, Destiny Boy had already passed away.

He ended by praying that Destiny Boy’s soul rests in perfect peace and that God, in His mercy, forgives him and grants him eternal rest in paradise

Court Rejects Fuji Singer Wasiu Ayinde (KWAM1)’s Attempt To Halt Selection And Installation Of New Awujale Of Ijebuland In Ogun State

An Ogun State High Court sitting in Ijebu-Ode has dismissed an ex parte application filed by Fuji music icon, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM1, seeking to stop the ongoing process for the selection and installation of a new Awujale of Ijebuland. The presiding judge, Justice A. A. Omoniyi, ruled that the application lacked sufficient merit and failed to meet the legal requirements for granting an interim injunction.
KWAM1 had approached the court claiming eligibility for the vacant Awujale stool based on alleged lineage from the Jadiara Royal House of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House. However, his claim was rejected by the Fusengbuwa ruling house, which maintained that the musician is not a recognised member of the royal family entitled to contest the throne. Although the court declined to stop the installation process, Justice Omoniyi ordered an accelerated hearing of the substantive suit and fixed January 14, 2026, for further proceedings in the chieftaincy dispute.

KWAM 1 vs Governor Dapo Abiodun: Ogun High Court Dismisses Fuji Star’s Bid to Stop Awujale Selection Process, Orders Accelerated Hearing

An Ogun State High Court sitting in Ijebu-Ode has dismissed an application filed by renowned Fuji musician, Otunba Wasiu Olasunkanmi Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, seeking to halt the selection process of a new Awujale of Ijebuland. The court, presided over by Justice A. A. Omoniyi, ruled that the application lacked merit and declined to grant an interim injunction stopping the process. KWAM 1 had challenged the dominance of the Fusengbuwa ruling house in producing the next Awujale, arguing that the process violated Ogun State chieftaincy laws and his constitutional rights as a member of the Fidipote ruling house. While denying the injunction, the court ordered an accelerated hearing of the substantive suit, now scheduled for January 14, 2026. The case has intensified public debate over traditional succession, royal lineage, and state involvement in chieftaincy matters in Ogun State.

The case adds a fresh legal twist to the traditional succession process, with the court expected to decide whether the process should be suspended pending determination of the substantive suit.

FRSC RAISES AWARENESS ON SAFE DRIVING ACROSS IDENTIFIED CORRIDORS

The federal road safety corps (FRSC) has intensified public awareness campaigns on the need for safe, responsible and disciplined driving across nNgeria’s first six designated corridors, which experience heavy traffic flow during the festive season.

The awareness drive covers the Lagos–Ibadan–Egbeda;
Abuja city gate–airport road–Giri–Kubwa–AYA (FCT metropolis);
Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria;
Abuja–Lokoja–Zariagi;
Benin–Asaba–Awka; and
Shagamu–Ijebu Ode–ore–Benin corridors.

These routes, including about 50 other corridors serve as critical national arteries and record heightened vehicular movement as citizens travel to reunite with families and loved ones.

The corps marshal however warned that violation of traffic regulations along these corridors poses grave and far reaching dangers, as speeding, wrongful overtaking, lane indiscipline, drunk driving and disregard for traffic control devices significantly reduce reaction time and increase the severity of crashes. Such violations often result in loss of vehicle control, dangerous head on collisions, pedestrian knockdowns and multi vehicle pile ups that overwhelm emergency response efforts and leave families permanently devastated.

The Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu-Ode has formally rejected the lineage claim submitted by Fuji icon Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, declaring his application to contest for the Awujale throne invalid. In a letter dated December 11, 2025, the ruling family faulted the certification of his linkage form, noting it was endorsed by an unauthorized individual who is not a registered member of the royal house. The family said its investigation found no evidence linking the musician to the Jadiara or Fusengbuwa royal lineage, rendering his claim “null, void and of no consequence.” KWAM 1 had earlier declared his intention to be considered for the vacant Awujale stool, citing ancestral ties and decades of cultural contribution.

KWAM 1 Faces Backlash After Praising Ex-Ogun Governor’s Aide Bidemi Rufai in Viral Video

A circulating video of Fuji star K1 D’Ultimate warmly praising former Ogun governor’s aide Bidemi Rufai—recently released from a U.S. prison for fraud—has triggered widespread backlash across Nigeria. The clip shows Rufai prostrating before the singer and offering bundles of cash, prompting K1 to hail him as “the pride of Ijebu-Ode.” Many Nigerians questioned why a convicted fraudster was being publicly celebrated, especially in a struggling economy. Rufai, convicted of wire fraud and identity theft in the U.S., regained freedom in November 2024 after a reduced sentence. The video has since sparked intense debate about morality, public accountability, and celebrity influence.

Ogun State Raises Alarm Over Rising Mental Health Cases, Treats 10,000 Patients in Six Months.

Dr. Tomi Coker, Ogun State’s Commissioner for Health, has expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of mental health disorders, with 10,000 patient visits recorded in the first half of 2025, including 1,000 new cases.

Represented by Dr. Kayode Oladeinde, the Permanent Secretary, she spoke at an event marking the 2025 World Mental Health Day, themed “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” Coker highlighted that over 90% of Nigerians with mental health issues lack access to adequate care due to limited services, stigma, and costs.

She emphasized that mental health is a fundamental human right and noted the growing burden in Ogun State. Data from mental health facilities in Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, Ilaro, and Ota revealed prevalent conditions such as psychosis, neurosis, epilepsy, depression, and substance use disorders. To address this, the state has formed a 26-member Mental Health Action Committee, chaired by Dr. Abayomi Olajide, a consultant psychiatrist at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.

Coker called for collective action, urging families to foster open discussions on mental health, employers to create supportive work environments, and religious and community leaders to promote compassion and care access. She also encouraged the media to report responsibly to reduce stigma and inspire hope. The commissioner reassured residents that the government is committed to supporting those struggling with mental health challenges.

Additionally, Coker announced that community mental health hospitals have been established in Abeokuta, Ilaro, Ijebu-Ode, and Ota to improve access to care across the state.

Man in viral video beating wife arrested, cause revealed.

The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of one Fatai Quadri after a viral video allegedly showed him violently assaulting his wife, Rukayat, in the Ilese-Ijebu area of the state, with the cause also revealed.

The spokesperson of the Command and a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest on Saturday.

Odutola, in a statement she issued to newsmen, explained that the incident occurred on Monday.

She said the suspect was captured on video inflicting fist blows on his wife, leaving her with bodily injuries.

According to her, operatives of Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode promptly arrested the suspect.

The Police Public Relations Officer disclosed that preliminary investigations linked the assault to a marital dispute arising from allegations of infidelity.

She revealed that the suspect had allegedly transferred the ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman.

This, she explained, allegedly provoked the violent attack after Rukayat demanded explanation on this.

Ex-Governor Gbenga Daniel Accuses Ogun Governor Abiodun of Targeting His Properties for Demolition.

Senator Gbenga Daniel, a former Ogun State governor now representing Ogun East, has accused current Governor Dapo Abiodun of targeting him with politically motivated demolition orders against multiple properties in Sagamu.

On Friday, August 8, demolition notices were posted on Daniel’s private residence (The Asoludero Court), Conference Hotels Limited, and its annexe around 4 PM. The notices cited alleged construction violations and gave just three days’ warning before potential demolition.

Daniel dismissed the charges as baseless, noting that his properties predate the regulations being cited against them. The Asoludero Court was constructed in 2004, Conference Hotel in 2013, and the annexe in 2015 - all built years before the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 took effect.

“This is nothing but clear political persecution,” Daniel stated, criticizing the administration for attempting to retroactively apply new laws to older structures that were legally built under previous regulations.

The former governor also challenged the legal process, arguing that proper procedures require sequential notifications with adequate time intervals between contravention notices, quit notices, and any demolition threats.

This latest controversy follows a September 2023 incident where DATKEM Plaza in Ijebu Ode, owned by Daniel’s wife Yeye Olufunke Daniel, was demolished by state officials. That case remains in court, with Daniel claiming the state has lost several applications, suggesting their actions lacked legal foundation.

Governor Abiodun previously defended the 2023 demolition, stating that no one is above building regulations and that even his own properties would face demolition if they violated codes. The government justified that action by claiming the five-story plaza lacked proper permits.

Daniel has called for public condemnation of what he terms an abuse of power and vowed to pursue all legal remedies to hold the governor accountable for what he characterizes as lawless actions.

Tinubu Announces Scholarship Scheme For Caribbean Students In Nigeria
Naija News reports that President Tinubu made this known on Sunday, while speaking in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, at the 8th Day Fidau prayers for the late Awujale, Oba Sikiru Adetona.

Tinubu said Nigeria’s history would not have been as complete and rich if he had failed the election.

Paying tributes to Oba Adetona for his role in his political journey and success in the 2023 general elections, Tinubu said the late monarch assured him that he would win the election and secure a re-election.

He praised the late monarch for his wisdom, steadfastness, resoluteness, and encouragement of the June 12 course and democracy.

He said, “Our history would not have been completed, carefully and richly, if I failed the last election.

“I was successful because of your support and the blessing of late Awujale. I came to him, he blessed me.. He said ‘you will win that election and you will win one more time. Go ahead.’

“Today, he is no more. He is gone.”

Tinubu also expressed appreciation to the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, whom he described as “Okanlomo Eleyi of Ogun State” for his role before, during and after the monarch’s burial.

Dignitaries present at the prayers include the Governors of Kwara, Ondo, and Ekiti States, as well as the Deputy Governors of Oyo and Lagos States, and ministers, among others.

Kabiyesi Was More Than a Royal Father to Me” – Tinubu Pays Tribute to Late Awujale
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, describing him as more than just a royal father — but a confidante and source of unwavering wisdom.

In a statement shared on Sunday via X, the President mourned the monarch, whose death came just hours apart from that of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Kabiyesi was more than a royal father to me. He was a confidante, a guide, and a man of truth whose wisdom never failed to steady those who sought it,” Tinubu wrote.

He praised the revered traditional ruler’s 65-year reign as one defined by dignity, courage, and deep devotion to his people, noting that Oba Adetona's passing has left a great void in Nigeria’s traditional institutions, especially in Yorubaland.

Tinubu, who attended the monarch’s eighth-day Fidau prayers in Ijebu-Ode, highlighted the Awujale’s lasting legacy of leadership, integrity, and service.

“His voice, leadership, and generosity will echo far beyond Ijebuland,” Tinubu added.

He concluded his tribute by praying for Allah’s mercy on the late monarch and comfort for those mourning his loss.
