Nollywood actress Uche Montana Denies mysterious "drug supplier" Allegations.

According to a report by Punch, Nollywood actress Uche Montana has forcefully refuted sensational claims circulating online that she is the mysterious "drug supplier" to fellow actress and billionaire wife, Regina Daniels.

The widespread rumor gained considerable traction across various social media platforms, causing a significant stir and threatening to damage Montana's hard-earned reputation.

In a swift and decisive move, the actress took to her official social media channels to address the defamatory allegations head-on, firmly declaring her complete innocence and demanding a public retraction from the sources.

The controversy first erupted following vague yet persistent online reports mentioning a popular actress who allegedly supplies illicit substances to a prominent married colleague in the industry.

Although names were initially withheld, social media commentators quickly linked the accusations to Regina Daniels and Uche Montana, primarily due to their perceived association within the tightly-knit movie industry circle.

This rapid spread of speculation demonstrates the unchecked power and sometimes reckless nature of the digital mob, forcing celebrities to frequently defend their personal lives against baseless claims.

Taking a strong stance against the slander, Uche Montana categorically denied any involvement in any form of drug-related or illicit activities whatsoever.

She expressed extreme disappointment and profound anger over the baseless rumors, labeling them as malicious, calculated attempts by hidden detractors to permanently tarnish her valuable brand and successful career trajectory.

NewsAmerica sneezes, Nigeria catches fever – Ejiofor reveals why Trump’s move angers politicians.

Social critic and legal practitioner, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor says Nigerian politicians are angry over President Donald Trump’s decision to wipe out terrorists from the country mainly for self-preservation.

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Saturday, the lawyer said “many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise”.

He opined that those “crying foul” since Trump designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns and threatened military action over alleged Christian genocide “are simply afraid of losing their political bargaining chip”.

He said, “America sneezes and Nigeria catches a fever. When Donald Trump recently declared his intention to “wipe out the monsters committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria”, you could almost hear the political class jump in unison.

“Suddenly, we became born-again defenders of sovereignty, those that failed to protect children in Chibok, girls in Dapchi, or farmers in Benue. How convenient!

“Let’s be clear: the noise isn’t about patriotism. It’s about self-preservation. Too many people have turned insecurity into a thriving enterprise: those who negotiate ransoms, those who supply arms, those who collect “security votes” without securing anything, and those who profit politically from fear”.

According to the lawyer, the “prospect of a foreign force dismantling this network terrifies them, not because they love Nigeria, but because it would collapse their cash cow.

“The world knew the scale of our tragedy long before any single politician made headlines. Human-rights organisations and investigators have documented widespread atrocities and urged accountability. Thousands of lives have been lost, millions displaced, and entire communities erased from maps. The evidence is on every Nigerian lip, every burnt village, and every weeping IDP camp.

Lagos Police Defy Court Order, Insist on Arresting Sowore Over Alleged Plan to Incite Protest

The Lagos State Police Command has maintained its stance on arresting political activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, over an alleged plan to incite violent protests in Lagos — despite a court order restraining the police from doing so.

Last Wednesday, Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court, Lagos, had issued an interim injunction barring the police and other security agencies from arresting, harassing, or declaring Sowore wanted, following an application filed by the activist.

However, during a strategic meeting at the police headquarters in Ikeja, Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh stated that Sowore’s arrest “still stands,” accusing the activist of ignoring official invitations.

“He never showed up. If you are declared wanted, you are to report to the nearest police station, not call me over the phone,” the CP said.
“Any officer who sights him — whether on the road, in a restaurant, or elsewhere — should arrest him and bring him to the State CID for proper investigation.”

Jimoh said security operatives recently intercepted over 300 individuals allegedly mobilising for a violent protest on the Third Mainland Bridge, arresting 13 suspects and recovering a vehicle loaded with loudspeakers and a generator.

The Commissioner dismissed social media criticism, calling it “ignorance of the law,” and emphasized that maintaining order was his constitutional duty.

“Anybody who is not pleased can go to court. As CP, I will continue to act within the powers of the law to protect Lagosians. We won’t allow enemies of progress to drag Lagos into chaos,” he declared.


Jimoh further insisted he had not been formally served any court order restraining the arrest.

“Once I am served, I’ll comply immediately,” he assured, while directing all Area Commanders and DPOs to arrest Sowore anywhere he is found — except inside a courtroom.


The police boss concluded that no individual or group would be allowed to “destabilise the peace of Lagos under the guise of protest.”

EFCC Declares Timipre Sylva Wanted Over $14.8 Million Scandal — Aide Cries Political Witch-Hunt

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared former Bayelsa State Governor and ex-Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, wanted over an alleged case of conspiracy and dishonest conversion of $14,859,257.

According to a statement by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale, the funds in question were reportedly part of an investment made by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) into Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Limited.

The EFCC urged anyone with useful information about Sylva’s whereabouts to contact its nearest office or the police.

However, Julius Bokoru, Sylva’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, dismissed the EFCC’s move as a “digitally orchestrated political attack” designed to discredit his principal.

“It is, to say the least, curious that what was once whispered as a coup matter has now metamorphosed into a financial allegation,” Bokoru said.
“No formal communication was made to him — just a sudden digital proclamation meant to inflame public sentiment.”


Bokoru alleged that “shadowy political forces” threatened by Sylva’s influence were behind the renewed attacks. He confirmed that the former minister is currently in the United Kingdom for medical treatment and would honor the EFCC’s invitation upon his return.

“Chief Timipre Sylva has clean hands. He has not diverted a single dollar, and the refinery project is transparent, legitimate, and verifiable,” Bokoru insisted.


The media aide urged supporters to remain calm, stressing that “truth, though often delayed, remains immutable.”

In October, security operatives reportedly raided Sylva’s residences in Abuja and Bayelsa, arresting his brother amid allegations linking him to a failed coup plot against President Bola Tinubu — claims his camp has also branded politically motivated.

Police insist on arrest of Sowore over alleged plan to incite violent protest in Lagos.

The Lagos State Police Command has reiterated its intention to arrest political activist and former presidential candidate of African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, over alleged plans to incite violent protests in Lagos.

This is coming despite the clear orders of Justice Musa Kakaki of a Federal High Court, Lagos, last Wednesday, which restrained the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, and other security agencies from arresting, intimidating or declaring Sowore wanted.

The order followed an application by Sowore after reports that the Lagos State Police Command had allegedly declared him wanted in connection with unspecified allegations.

Delivering the ruling, the court granted an interim injunction restraining the respondents, particularly the Commissioner of Police, from “harassing, intimidating, threatening with arrest, or declaring the applicant wanted pending the determination of the substantive suit.”

But Lagos Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olohundare Jimoh, who spoke during a strategic security meeting at the command headquarters in Ikeja, yesterday, said despite Sowore’s invitation, he had failed to show up at the command headquarters.

He stated that the declaration was made in accordance with Section 215 (1, 4 and 5) of the Nigerian Constitution, which empowered the Commissioner of Police to maintain law and order, protect lives and property.

He added that despite an earlier letter from Sowore’s lawyer expressing his intention to bring Sowore to the command, none of them had shown up.

He said: “He never showed up, if you are declared wanted, you are to report to the nearest police station, not call me over the phone.

Australia has announced a ban on social media use for children under the age of 16 as part of efforts to improve online safety

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the measure, contained in the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 will take effect on 10 December 2025

The government explained that the legislation aims to protect minors from risks such as cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content & the addictive effects of social media algorithms.

Under the new law, it will be illegal for anyone under 16 to create or maintain accounts on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X, formerly Twitter/ YouTube, Reddit & Kick.

In a post on X on Monday, Albanese emphasized that the move is focused on safeguarding young people. He stated in a press release, “This is about letting kids be kids. It’s also about empowering parents to be able to have those discussions with their children.”

He further wrote, “We’re banning social media for under-16s to keep them safe online.”

BBC Director-General Tim Davie has resigned following controversy over a Panorama documentary that allegedly misrepresented a speech by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The programme spliced clips from Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech, making it appear he urged supporters to “fight like hell” during the Capitol riot. The unedited version, however, showed him calling for peaceful support of lawmakers.

Davie and BBC News head Deborah Turness stepped down amid accusations of bias and calls for accountability. UK Culture Minister Lisa Nandy described the allegations as “incredibly serious,” while Trump celebrated the resignations, calling the journalists “corrupt.”

The BBC has pledged a full response to parliament’s culture, media, and sport committee. The row adds to recent criticisms of the broadcaster’s editorial standards, including previous controversies over coverage of Gaza and other sensitive topics.

"Senator Ned is reaping what he sowed, Betrayed everyone who has ever helped him"— Senator Ned’s alleged brother, Chuks Nwoko, Reveals.

Chuks Nwoko, brother of Senator Ned Nwoko, has publicly criticized the senator, saying he is “reaping what he sowed” and bringing shame to the family name.

Speaking in a video, Chuks said he has tried to reach his brother but has been unable to do so, stressing that as a sibling, he feels compelled to speak the truth. “You are bringing so much disrepute to the name Nwoko.

You are not ashamed, but we, your siblings, are ashamed for you,” he said. Chuks urged Senator Ned to use this moment to reflect and change, quoting a Bible verse to emphasize the importance of a change of heart.

He accused the senator of promoting “things that have nothing to do with the core values of which they were brought up” and criticized his public image on social media, noting that Ned portrays himself as self-made despite coming from a modest background and having been supported through school by Omoye.

He further lamented that Senator Ned has “betrayed and done so much harm to everyone who helped him in life,” beginning with his immediate elder brother, and called on him to stop bringing shame to the Nwoko family.

Chuks’ message, part of a wider video statement, highlighted family disappointment and a call for humility and accountability.

Unacceptable’ – Deputy Senate President Asks Trump To Withdraw Statement And Apologise.

The Deputy Senate President of the Nigerian Upper Legislative Chambers, Senator Jibrin Barau, has slammed United States President Donald Trump over his recent statement on alleged Christian killings in Nigeria.

Speaking in reaction to Trump’s remarks in a viral video released on Friday, Barau urged Trump to immediately withdraw his recent threat against Nigeria and issue a public apology for describing the country as “disgraced.”

According to the lawmaker, Trump’s comments were “unacceptable, un-American, and a violation of international law.”

He said Nigeria, as a sovereign nation, would not tolerate any form of intimidation or interference.

“For the president of the United States to come out and say, ‘Nigeria is a disgraced country, and we are going to attack you,’ is quite unacceptable,” Barau said.

“He should understand, retract that statement, and apologise to Nigeria.”

Barau maintained that Trump’s utterances breached diplomatic norms and international law, saying “It’s against international law. Whatever you feel about our country, follow the legal route. Go to the United Nations, get a resolution, and act in line with that. To bypass that process is quite un-American.”

The lawmaker insisted, “We are not scared to speak the truth. If Trump were here, I would tell him directly that he has gone against international law and that his approach is wrong.”

Senator Sheriff Debunks Report Claiming He Accused Shettima of Creating Boko Haram.

Former Governor of Borno State and ex-APC National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has denied claims circulating online that he accused his colleague, Senator Kashim Shettima, of creating Boko Haram.

In a statement issued by his media office, Sheriff described the publication, titled “It’s Not Me, It’s Shettima Who Created Boko Haram—Sheriff Reveals,” as entirely fabricated and intended to mislead the public and tarnish his reputation.

Sheriff clarified that he never granted any interview or made comments relating to the claims circulating online.

“The story is a total falsehood, devoid of truth, and a deliberate attempt to sow discord within the nation’s political landscape. At no time did Senator Sheriff engage with any journalist on this matter,” the statement read.

The former governor called the publication a “dangerous piece of fake news,” aimed at undermining his contributions to peace, unity, and development in Borno State and across Nigeria.

He reaffirmed his commitment to national stability and condemned those spreading misinformation for political gain.

Sheriff also said he has instructed his legal team to identify and prosecute the individuals behind the false report.

“Should the publication not be retracted, the Senator will seek full legal redress,” the statement warned.

He further urged the public and media to disregard the viral story, emphasizing his dedication to truth, justice, and accountability.

Lamine Yamal’s Father Gets Engaged to Girlfriend 16 Years Younger.

Mounir Nasraoui, father of Spanish football star Lamine Yamal, has announced his engagement to his much younger girlfriend.

Nasraoui, 39, shared a photo with his 23-year-old partner, Khristina, on October 31, adding a black heart and a wedding ring emoji, signaling their engagement. The post quickly gained attention, amassing over 43,000 likes and more than 2,000 comments, with most users congratulating the couple while a few responded sarcastically, including one who joked, “Poor Yamal, now he has another mouth to feed.”

According to reports, Nasraoui and Khristina recently made their relationship public and frequently post affectionate photos on social media, which have drawn mixed reactions from the public. Their wedding is expected to take place within the next few months, marking a new chapter in Nasraoui’s personal life.

Born in Larache, Morocco, Nasraoui later moved to Barcelona and married Sheila Ebana of Equatorial Guinea, who gave birth to Lamine Yamal on July 13, 2007. After their separation, Sheila played a significant role in supporting Yamal’s football career, assisting with arrangements and accommodations as he rose through the ranks.

With Lamine Yamal’s meteoric rise to stardom, Nasraoui has also become more prominent on social media, often sharing updates about his personal life and responding to public commentary related to his son. At 18, Yamal has become a key player for both Barcelona and the Spain national team and recently won his second Kopa Trophy for the best young player in the world.

Nigerian Military Bans Officers From Marrying Foreigners And Naturalized Citizens.

The Nigerian Armed Forces have enforced a new directive prohibiting officers from marrying foreigners or naturalized Nigerians.

The rule, contained in the Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) 2024, also forbids commissioned officers from marrying non-commissioned personnel like soldiers, ratings, or airwomen.

Signed by the President and approved by the Armed Forces Council in December 2024, the new policy mandates strict compliance. It specifies that officers must obtain prior approval and undergo vetting before marriage. Chapter 25, Subsection 5 of the document clearly states that “no officer is allowed to marry a foreigner or a naturalised Nigerian.”

The law also bars newly commissioned officers from marrying during their probation. Those already married before commissioning must live in the Officers’ Mess for at least three months before qualifying for married housing.

A retired major general explained that the rule aims to protect classified information, warning that marriage to a foreigner could risk divided loyalty if Nigeria ever enters conflict with that country.

However, retired Group Captain Shehu Sadeeq called for a review, saying other nations like the US and UK allow such marriages under strict vetting. He noted that an outright ban could infringe on officers’ personal rights.

Human rights advocate Dr. Zikirullahi Ibrahim criticised the rule as discriminatory, questioning why politicians and top officials with dual citizenship are not held to the same standard. He argued that only senior officers in sensitive positions should face such restrictions.

In contrast, Auwal Rafsanjani of CISLAC supported the law, insisting that those entrusted with national security must prioritise the country’s interest over personal relationships.

The HTACOS 2024 replaces the 2017 version and will remain valid for five years before review.

“President Trump Is Very Serious, Don’t Test Him” — U.S. Lawmaker Riley Moore Tells Nigerian Government to Embrace U.S. Partnership

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Riley Moore has warned that President Donald Trump’s resolve should not be tested, describing the President as “very serious about this.”

Moore stated that the United States’ intervention in Nigeria presents an opportunity for “Nigerians to strengthen and deepen their relationship with the United States.” He added that Nigeria can build partnerships with the U.S. to counter the terrorist threat that is spreading across the country.

“I’m asking Nigeria to do the right thing, partner with the United States, help us to protect the Christians in your country and we will help you,” he concluded.

Riley Moore represents West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He serves on the House Appropriations Committee and has been active on issues of religious freedom and international human rights.

The lawmaker made these remarks during a media interview in Washington, D.C., while addressing the ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria and urging stronger cooperation between the two nations to tackle terrorism.

Concerned Nigerians petition Trump over Zamfara killings.

A coalition under the banner of Concerned Nigerians for Human Security has petitioned United States President Donald Trump, calling for international attention and decisive action over the worsening security situation in Zamfara State and other parts of northern Nigeria.

In a petition addressed to the US President, the group described the killings and mass displacement in Zamfara as “a humanitarian tragedy that demands urgent global response”.

According to the coalition, thousands of Nigerians, including men, women, and children, have been killed, abducted, or forced to flee their homes as a result of ongoing attacks by armed groups.

“We write not just as citizens mourning the thousands whose lives have been brutally cut short across parts of northern Nigeria, but as people who recognize your important role as a global leader always ready to confront moral wrongs,” the letter read in part.

The group alleged that while billions of naira are allocated for security across states, the crisis in Zamfara continues to worsen, leading to the deaths of innocent citizens and the destruction of entire communities.

It claimed that the situation reflects what it called “a total breakdown of leadership and accountability in the management of security resources”.

The coalition urged President Trump and the US government to impose visa restrictions on certain political figures, including Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, to “apply international accountability pressure on political actors who trade human lives for political and financial gain”.

“Leadership is a moral duty, not a personal luxury,” the group said, adding that sanctions would “disrupt the comfort derived from foreign refuge and compel responsibility at home”.

US Supreme Court blocks order requiring Trump to fund food assistance.

The US Supreme Court announced Friday that the Trump administration will not be compelled to immediately restore SNAP food benefits that were halted during the government shutdown.

The temporary ruling leaves millions of Americans uncertain about future assistance.

Earlier in the week, a lower court had determined that President Donald Trump’s administration must fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for November by Friday’s end.

That ruling required the administration to draw on contingency reserves to send billions of dollars to states, ensuring roughly 42 million Americans dependent on SNAP could continue receiving food aid.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued what is known as an administrative stay, a temporary pause that allows the courts more time to review the administration’s appeal.

On Friday morning, the Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing that only Congress holds the authority to decide how to allocate federal funds.

“The core power of Congress is that of the purse, while the Executive is tasked with allocating limited resources across competing priorities,” the DOJ wrote.

According to the DOJ, the lower court “took the current shutdown as effective license to declare a federal bankruptcy and appoint itself the trustee, charged with picking winners and losers among those seeking some part of the limited pool of remaining federal funds

Nigerian Shari’ah Council Asks Tinubu To Immediately Sack INEC Chairman, Prof Amupitan Over 'Legal Brief On Genocide’.

The Shari'ah Council's call on Saturday followed SaharaReporters’ exclusive report that revealed that Professor Amupitan once authored a legal brief in 2020 containing

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately reverse the appointment of the newly inaugurated Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof Joash Ojo Amupitan.

The Shari'ah Council's call on Saturday followed SaharaReporters’ exclusive report that revealed that Professor Amupitan once authored a legal brief in 2020 containing

exclusively obtained the report titled "Nigeria's Silent Slaughter" where the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in his legal brief, called for urgent intervention to stop what he termed “pogrom and attacks against the Christians and minority groups in Nigeria.”

Amupitan, recently appointed by President Bola Tinubu to head the country's electoral commission, had titled his contribution, “Legal Brief: Genocide in Nigeria – The Implications for the International Community."

The document published by the International Committee on Nigeria (ICON), a global advocacy network promoting human rights and religious freedom — was officially signed under Amupitan’s law firm, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) & Co., Legal Practitioners & Corporate Consultants, with offices in Jos and Abuja.

The Shari'ah council described Amupitan's legal brief as “provocative, distorted and bigoted assertions” against Muslims in Northern Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Friday, November 7, 2025 (16th Jumada I 1447 AH), the SCSN said it received with “deep disappointment and grave concern” the SaharaReporters investigation alleging that Amupitan’s 2020 legal document characterised Northern violence as “Christian genocide” and linked the insecurity in the North to the 19th-century Jihad of Sheikh Uthman bn Fodio.

Russia Monitors Nigeria Situation After Trump’s Military Threat Warning.

Russia has said it is closely watching events in Nigeria following reports that the United States might consider military action there after recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova disclosed this during a press briefing in Moscow, responding to a question from Anadolu Agency. She urged Washington to respect international law and act responsibly in handling global security matters.

“We are carefully observing this issue and call on all parties involved to comply with international legal norms,” Zakharova stated.

On November 1, Trump announced that he had directed the Pentagon to prepare possible military measures against terrorist groups in Nigeria, claiming it was to protect Christian communities.

When asked about Kazakhstan’s recent decision to join the Abraham Accords, Zakharova said Moscow had no immediate comment on the development. Kazakhstan confirmed its participation after President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone conversation attended by Trump.

Zakharova also voiced concern over continued Israeli violations of ceasefire agreements along the Lebanese border, stressing the need to avoid any escalation that could reignite conflict.

She reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to working with regional and international partners to sustain peace and stability in Lebanon, the Middle East, and other regions.

Bovi Sparks Reactions as he declares Monogamy a social construct.

During a recent episode of Mentality, Nigerian entertainer Bovi, TV host Ebuka, and singer Banky W engaged in a candid discussion on the evolving concept of monogamy in contemporary society.

Bovi sparked the conversation by suggesting that “monogamy is a social construct,” hinting at the shifting dynamics of relationships in modern times. Ebuka then posed a provocative question, asking whether monogamy could become extinct in the next decade, referencing perceptions that many Lagos women engage in extramarital affairs and the increasing normalization of polyamory.

Banky W, however, took a measured stance, pushing back against sweeping generalizations. “I think I push back when we make generalistic statements… Lagos women are like this, Nigerian men are like that.

You’re casting a blanket of assumption on everybody,” he said. He emphasized the potential harm of such stereotypes, particularly for shaping the expectations of younger generations.

Speaking from his personal experience, Banky W highlighted the role of spirituality in maintaining a committed relationship. “I don’t believe that monogamy is impossible, but my experience is that it is possible with God. When there’s God in the picture, you answer to a higher authority, and that helps you say there are some lines I’m not going to cross,” he noted.

The episode provided a nuanced perspective on monogamy, challenging assumptions while also addressing the influence of faith and personal values in sustaining committed relationships.
