Many Celebrities Have More Influence Than Politicians - Charly Boy, Set To Release Book About His Life


Veteran entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has called on musicians and other public figures to use their platforms to address societal issues, insisting that entertainers have a responsibility to reflect the realities of the communities they serve.

Speaking ahead of the July 2026 release of his memoir, ‘999’, Charly Boy argued that many celebrities possess greater influence than politicians and should not shy away from speaking on issues affecting ordinary Nigerians.

According to him, artistes can play a significant role in shaping public discourse through their music and public engagements.

“They can do more. They have larger platforms than politicians. It won’t hurt them to speak up or make music that reflects reality,” he said.

The entertainer expressed concern about the state of the nation, particularly the growing insecurity across the country. He warned that the situation could worsen if urgent steps are not taken to address the underlying problems.

“It’s going to explode in our faces,” he said.

Charly Boy also pointed to what he described as the erosion of family values as one of the factors contributing to Nigeria’s social challenges. He argued that economic hardship has placed immense pressure on families, with some parents encouraging their children to pursue questionable means of making money.

He further criticised traditional parenting approaches, noting that methods that worked for previous generations may no longer be effective in raising Gen Z and millennial children.

Despite his concerns, the activist expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, saying the country’s hopes lie with exceptional young people who are willing to create opportunities for themselves rather than wait for them.

He also praised the emergence of a new generation of activists and social commentators who are increasingly using their voices to advocate for change.

Beyond his views on society and governance, Charly Boy described his forthcoming memoir as a deeply personal account of his life. He said the title symbolises transformation, renewal and the beginning of a new chapter.

The entertainer explained that while many people still associate him with his biker persona, he has evolved into a phase focused on storytelling, reflection and legacy.

Promising readers an unfiltered account of his journey, Charly Boy said the memoir would contain “the good, the bad and the ugly”, adding that too many people go through life without ever telling their complete stories.

Reflecting on his past, he admitted that he was rebellious and “irresponsible” in his younger years but maintained that he never lost sight of his goals, even when he found himself at odds with his father over the course of his life.

  

How Scan Detected My Baby Had No Nose – Gospel Singer Judikay Opens Up On Pregnancy Scare


Gospel artist Judikay has shared details of a distressing medical experience she had while 34 weeks pregnant with her second child in Canada.

The singer, whose real name is Judith Kanayo-Opara, said a routine ultrasound led to alarming claims about her unborn daughter.

During her daughter’s dedication service, she recounted that the sonographer told her the baby was not breathing, had no nose, and recommended a Down syndrome test.

She said she called her husband, who told her to “tear the report” and not proceed with further tests.

In her words: “At 34 weeks, I traveled to Canada to have my baby, and I went for a scan. They said she did not have a nose and that I would need to do a Down syndrome test, and also that she was not breathing. I called my husband, and he said I should tear the report and that we were not going to do any test.”

The couple chose to pray and thank God for their child instead and Judikay said her daughter was eventually delivered safely, though doctors found the umbilical cord had been wrapped around the baby’s neck twice in the womb.

The singer, who waited several years to welcome her second child with her husband, shared the testimony to reflect on the challenges she faced during pregnancy.

 Judikay is a prominent gospel artist, songwriter, and music minister. Known for her soul-stirring worship, her career highlights include major hits like "More than Gold" and "Capable God," two albums (Man of Galilee and From this Heart), and millions of streams across global platforms. 

You Don’t Need To Expose Your Boobs To Be Sexy — Nollywood Star Actress Shaffy Bello


Nollywood star actress Shaffy Bello has said she understands why some young women engage in transactional relationships popularly known as “runs,” but urged them not to remain in the lifestyle, stressing the need for growth and self-worth beyond survival choices.

Bello made the remarks during an interview on The Morayo Show hosted by Morayo Afolabi-Brown, a conversation that has since gone viral on social media.

Speaking on self-worth and the pressures many young women face, Bello said women do not need to expose their bodies or chase online attention to be seen as attractive or successful.

She said, “There are too many children out there, too many babies my age younger that needs my voice that needs to hear that the seeds that you sow matter.

“That needs to hear, ‘No, you don’t have to show your boobs to be sexy.’

“That needs to hear, ‘No, you don’t have to shake your bum bum to go viral or get attention.’”

The actress also addressed women who turn to transactional relationships to survive, saying she understood the realities behind such decisions and was not speaking from a place of judgement.

“And if what you’re doing now is being a runs girl to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it. I’m not knocking you. I never judge,” she said.

Bello added that some women were pushed into such choices by financial responsibilities, including supporting family members and paying school fees.

“If that’s what you have to do right now… some girls are doing it because they need to feed mum, they need to send their aburo to school. I understand it.

“However, my darlings, don’t stay there. You are more than that,” she added.

Reflecting on her career, Bello said she remains focused on acting because she believes it is her calling.

“I’m an actor. Every actor doesn’t have to be a producer. I face my lane. I do what God asked me to do,” she said.

She also noted that while some industry players diversify into production for financial reasons, she prioritises purpose over profit.

 

Extreme Heat: Lagos Begins 500-Tree Planting Campaign


The Lagos State Government has unveiled a new environmental initiative aimed at combating climate change and rising urban temperatures, committing to planting 500 trees across the state while joining a global campaign to address extreme heat in cities.

The announcement was made last Friday at the 2026 World Environment Day celebration in Alausa, where officials warned that rapid urbanisation and climate change were increasing heat-related risks for residents.

Speaking at the event, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment, Olalekan Rotimi-Akodu, called for greater adoption of nature-based solutions, including tree planting, ecosystem restoration and urban greening, to strengthen climate resilience.

He said forests, wetlands and green spaces remain among the most effective tools for mitigating climate impacts and improving the quality of life in rapidly growing cities.

“Rapid urbanisation, population growth, traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and the replacement of natural landscapes with concrete and asphalt surfaces are all contributing to rising temperatures and the Urban Heat Island effect in cities,” Akodu said.

He noted that Lagos, as Africa’s most populous city, faces growing threats from extreme heat, flooding and sea-level rise, warning that higher temperatures could affect public health, productivity, air quality and energy demand.

As part of its response, the state formally aligned with the United Nations Environment Programme’s global “50 Cities at 50°C” campaign, which encourages cities to develop and share solutions to rising urban temperatures.

According to Akodu, Lagos will participate under the theme, “50 Cities at 50°C: Lagos Rising Against the Urban Heat Island.”

The state also launched a new environmental stewardship programme, tagged “Me and My Tree,” under which 500 trees will be planted across Lagos.

Residents participating in the initiative will receive free tree seedlings and be encouraged to nurture them to maturity.

To encourage participation, the government announced a cash prize of N2.5m for the owner of the best-performing tree after one year.

Akodu said the initiative builds on Lagos’ long-running urban greening programme, which has resulted in the planting of more than seven million trees since 2009 through partnerships involving schools, communities, businesses and government agencies.

He added that the state was also pursuing climate resilience through investments in mass transit infrastructure, including rail, bus and water transportation systems designed to reduce emissions and traffic congestion.

“Lagos is not waiting for the future; Lagos is preparing for it, adapting to it, and rising above it,” he said.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services, Mahamood Adegbite, said World Environment Day serves as a reminder of the need to tackle climate change and protect future generations.

He noted that rising temperatures were already placing pressure on public health systems and increasing vulnerability among children, the elderly and other at-risk groups.

“Our megacity with a population exceeding 20 million people is increasingly experiencing the effects of rising urban temperatures,” Adegbite said.

The event brought together government officials, environmental experts, development partners, civil society groups, students and private-sector stakeholders to discuss strategies for improving environmental sustainability and climate resilience across the state.

 

LAWMA Condemns Attack On Its Officers Along Lagos-Badagry Expressway


The Lagos Waste Management Authority has condemned the attack on its enforcement officers by suspected illegal waste operators during an environmental monitoring exercise along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway.

The Managing Director of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, issued the condemnation in a statement released on Monday in Lagos by the agency’s Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Mukaila Sanusi.

Gbadegesin described the incident as unacceptable and warned against any attempt to obstruct the agency’s lawful enforcement activities.

According to him, the attack occurred on Sunday at Mazamaza Bus Stop, shortly after FESTAC First Gate, during a routine environmental monitoring and compliance operation.

He said the enforcement team encountered individuals allegedly engaged in illegal waste disposal while carrying out their statutory duties.

“The enforcement team was attacked by suspected illegal waste operators and cart pushers who attempted to obstruct the exercise,” he said.

“Our enforcement officers were carrying out their statutory responsibilities when they were attacked by individuals seeking to frustrate government efforts,” he added.

Gbadegesin described the incident as a direct affront to government efforts to safeguard public health and maintain environmental sanitation across the state.

He stressed that such actions would not deter the agency from fulfilling its mandate of ensuring a clean and healthy environment.

The managing director noted that assaults on enforcement personnel constitute a serious offence under the law, adding that anyone found involved in the attack or obstruction would face prosecution.

He said efforts were underway to identify and apprehend all those connected to the incident.

Gbadegesin added that despite the attack, the enforcement team continued its monitoring operation along key corridors, including Iyana Iba, Okokomaiko, and Agbara.

He explained that the exercise forms part of ongoing efforts to curb indiscriminate waste disposal and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

According to him, illegal cart-pushing activities and unauthorised dumpsites remain major challenges to effective waste management in Lagos State, posing significant risks to public health and environmental safety.

He urged residents and businesses to patronise only approved waste service providers and dispose of waste through authorised channels.

Gbadegesin also called on the public to support government efforts by complying with environmental laws and reporting illegal waste disposal activities.

He reaffirmed LAWMA’s commitment to sustained enforcement across the state, warning that offenders would continue to face sanctions.

  

World Food Safety Day: Lagos Pushes For More Safety Standards


Lagos State has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening food safety standards across the state, as it joined the global observance of the 2026 World Food Safety Day with a renewed call for stricter compliance by food businesses and greater vigilance by consumers.

The Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, Mr Lanre Mojola, made the call in a statement on Sunday to commemorate the annual event observed worldwide on June 7.

This year’s theme, “From Burdens to Solutions – Safe Food Everywhere,” highlights the importance of preventing foodborne diseases and strengthening food safety systems across the food supply chain.

Mojola described food safety as a critical public health, economic and consumer protection issue, noting that ensuring the safety of food consumed by residents remains a priority for the Lagos State Government.

“Food safety is not optional; it is a necessity. Every meal consumed by Lagosians should meet the highest standards of safety and hygiene,” he said.

As one of Africa’s largest commercial centres, Lagos relies on a vast food distribution network involving manufacturers, processors, distributors, restaurants, hospitality operators and food vendors.

Mojola said maintaining safety standards across the chain requires collective responsibility from all stakeholders.

“Together, we can build a safer and healthier Lagos,” he added.

According to the commission, efforts to strengthen food safety have included routine inspections, safety audits and risk assessments of restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitality establishments and other public facilities.

The agency said it also monitors compliance with safety regulations, issues safety compliance certifications and enforces corrective measures where violations are detected.

Mojola noted that the commission had intensified training and sensitisation programmes for food service operators and other stakeholders, focusing on food handling practices, hygiene standards, storage requirements, hazard control measures and consumer protection.

He said the commission recently organised and supported capacity-building workshops for stakeholders in the food, hospitality and events sectors as part of efforts to promote science-based food safety practices and regulatory compliance.

The director-general stressed that the agency would continue to work with industry operators and relevant stakeholders to strengthen food safety systems and improve public awareness.

He urged businesses, institutions and households to make food safety a priority and support initiatives aimed at reducing foodborne risks.

“Safe food today for a healthier Lagos tomorrow,” Mojola said.

  

Human Rights Advocacy Group Urges Lagos CP To Commence Trial Of Ajiran Murders Suspects


THE Centre for Human and Socio-economic Rights (CHSR) has called on the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai to demonstrate firm leadership by ensuring that the trial of suspects linked to the gruesome murder of two Ajiran indigenes – Mr. Sheriff Ishola Salami and Prince Kazeem Ademola Akinloye commence without further delay.

The President of CHSR, Comrade Alex Omotehinse, who made the appeal on Monday at a press conference in Lagos, also demanded that the suspects should be promptly arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction to enhance unimpeded trial.

Omotehinse said the two separate incidents, which occurred in April 2023 and August 2024 respectively, remain stark reminders of the grave threat posed by organised violence and the urgent need for institutional accountability.

He said the CHSR, acting within its statutory mandate to defend justice and protect citizens’ rights, considers it imperative to address the public on the trajectory of the incidents leading to ongoing trial, particularly in the light of emerging facts, procedural concerns, and attempts to derail the course of justice.

Omotehinse added that beyond a mere criminal investigation, this matter has evolved into a broader scrutiny of the integrity of Nigeria’s justice system, the resilience of law enforcement institutions, and the collective will of society to resist impunity.

He said: “It is on record that the immediate past Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, now Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Moshood Olohundare Jimoh, made concerning disclosure while briefing journalists at the Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja on February 19, 2026. According to him, the declaration of Alhaji Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi as a wanted person followed the arrest and confessional statements of two principal suspects directly linked to the killings.

“The Commissioner stated that Safiu Fatai (a.k.a. Fabo, 40) and Yusuf Ismaila (a.k.a. Bariga) were apprehended on January 24, 2026, and February 6, 2026, respectively, after the Command reopened investigations into the murder incidents; upon the emergence of new and compelling evidence.

“According to Mr. Moshood Olohundare Jimoh, the suspects confessed to their roles in the murder of Sheriff Salami Ishola, aged 37, who was killed on April 18, 2023, at about 3:00 p.m. in Moba Town, Eti-Osa, as well as Prince Ademola Akinloye, aged 38, who was shot dead on August 26, 2024, along Chevron Road, Ajiran.”

He noted that the police narrative further established that on April 18, 2023, at about 1500 hours, Safiu Fatai, Yusuf Ismaila, Soji Mascot, and one Kenny armed with a locally fabricated pistol, axe, and machetes ambushed Sheriff Salami Ishola. The victim was forcibly taken into an isolated building along Mobile Road in Moba, Ajah, where he was restrained and shot multiple times at close range, leading to his immediate death. The assailants thereafter fled the scene.

On the second incident, he said the same group reportedly adopted a similar modus operandi in the killing of Prince Ademola Akinloye, son of Oba Adetunji Akinloye, the Ojomu of Ajiran Land. The attack occurred on August 26, 2024, at about 11:00 a.m. along Chevron Road, where the victim was shot repeatedly leading to his death from gunshot injuries.

He said further disclosures from suspects in custody revealed that both crimes were allegedly carried out on the orders of Akanbi, who is accused of sponsoring the operations, with the claim that they were paid the sum of N2 million, with an initial disbursement of N500,000 to each principal actor shortly after the first killing, alongside promises of additional rewards, including opportunities for foreign travel and enhanced social status.

The CHSR stressed that while the revelations provide a disturbing but necessary insight into the nature of the crimes, it expresses serious concern over procedural delays and the handling of the case, particularly in relation to timely prosecution, adding that such delays risk creating legal loopholes that may be exploited to obstruct justice.

“Equally troubling are the activities of certain individuals and groups who, under the guise of civil society advocacy, are actively promoting narratives aimed at discrediting the investigative process as well as obstructing the cause of justice. The antics of these self-styled agitators are not only inimical to the cause of justice but constitute a direct threat to peace and orderliness in the society.

“We are also alarmed by attempts to weaponise legal processes, including the pursuit of restraining orders, to frustrate legitimate authority of law enforcement agencies. This pattern raises concerns regarding coordinated attempts to undermine due process.”

  

Lagos Attorney-General Rejects Bid To Halt Inquest Into Death Of Chimamanda’s Son


The Attorney-General of Lagos State, Mr Lawal Pedro (SAN), alongside the state’s Chief Coroner and the presiding Coroner for the Lagos Coroner’s District, have challenged a suit seeking to halt the ongoing inquest into the death of master Nkanu Adichie-Esege, son of celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
 The respondents urged the court to dismiss the application in its entirety, describing it as an attempt to circumvent established legal procedures.

 In a preliminary objection dated June 5, 2026, filed in response to a judicial review application instituted by Eurapharma Care Services Nigeria Limited, operators of a hospital in Victoria Island where the child reportedly died on January 7, 2026.
 Eurapharma had earlier secured an interim order from the Lagos State High Court sitting in Osborne, Ikoyi, presided over by Justice A.O. Opesanwo, temporarily staying proceedings in the coroner’s inquest pending the determination of its substantive application.

 In the suit, the hospital is seeking orders of certiorari and prohibition to quash decisions of the Coroner’s Court and restrain further proceedings in the inquest.
 However, in their objection, the respondents comprising the Coroner, Chief Coroner and Attorney-General, argued that the suit is incompetent, premature and constitutes an abuse of court process.

 In a joint written address, they contended that the applicant failed to establish any legal basis for invoking the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court through judicial review.
 They maintained that under Nigerian law, the remedy of certiorari is only available where a lower tribunal or authority has acted without jurisdiction or exceeded its statutory powers.

 Citing provisions of the Coroners System Law of Lagos State, the respondents argued that the Coroner possesses exclusive authority to investigate suspicious deaths within the relevant jurisdiction, and that the decision to proceed with the inquest falls squarely within those powers.
 They further submitted that Section 21 of the law empowers a coroner to conduct an inquest even in situations where the body of the deceased is unavailable or has been destroyed.

 On that basis, they rejected the hospital’s argument that the alleged cremation of the deceased’s remains deprived the Coroner of jurisdiction.
 The respondents also argued that issues surrounding the alleged cremation and the absence of an autopsy report had not been formally presented before the Coroner’s Court, making the judicial review application speculative.

 According to them, the hospital is effectively inviting the High Court to intervene in matters on which the Coroner has not yet made any determination.
 “The applicant seeks to invite this Honourable Court into a realm of speculation by asking it to intervene in issues yet to be considered by the Coroner,” the respondents submitted.

 They also dismissed claims that the Coroner’s directive requiring the hospital to call witnesses first amounted to a breach of fair hearing.
 Relying on judicial authorities, including Gyang v Commissioner of Police and Yusuf v State, they argued that fair hearing is satisfied where parties are given adequate opportunity to present their case, and that no such denial had been demonstrated.

 Consequently, the respondents urged the court to dismiss the application in its entirety, describing it as an attempt to circumvent established legal procedures governing investigations into suspicious deaths.
 They further maintained that the suit was filed prematurely, as the Coroner’s Court had yet to conclude its proceedings or make substantive findings.

 Justice Opesanwo subsequently adjourned the matter until September 28, 2026, for the hearing of all preliminary objections.

  

Lagos Rail Network To Be Extended To The Airport - Keyamo


The Federal Government has unveiled plans to extend the existing Lagos rail network to the domestic and international terminals of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos.
The government also said that despite the arrays of airports in the country, 67 per cent of the total passenger traffic arrive or depart from Lagos airport.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, stated these on Monday in his remark at the opening ceremony of Invest Lagos 3.0, powered by the Lagos State Government.
According to Keyamo, discussions were already underway between the ministry and the Lagos State Government to commence the rail project into the airport.

Keyamo expressed that this move was aimed at strengthening Lagos’ position as Africa’s leading aviation hub.
Keyamo posited that the proposed rail extension would connect the existing rail line that currently terminates at Ikeja Bus Stop to the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) and move further through the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two (MMA2), a facility that is operated by the Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) before reaching the international wing of the airport.

He declared that the project when completed, would significantly improve accessibility to Nigeria’s busiest airport and support the government’s vision of transforming Lagos into a major aviation and logistics hub for Africa.
He said: “We are also planning to extend the rail line that ends at Ikeja Bus Stop. We are working with the Lagos State government to extend that rail line all the way to the local, through the Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) and all the way to the international airport.

“That rail line is about to start. It’s the extension of the rail line. So, Lagos is just ready for the next big step in terms of its aviation activities.”
Besides, Keyamo revealed that Lagos accounts for about 67 per cent of all passenger traffic passing through Nigeria’s airports, which further shows the state’s strategic importance to the country’s aviation sector.

He explained that the state possesses unique geographical advantages that positioned it to compete with established African aviation hubs such as Addis Ababa and Lome in Ethiopia and Togo, respectively.
He added: “Just six hours across the Atlantic, you will get to South America from the Lagos airport. Six hours down, you’ll get to Southern Africa. Six hours to the Middle East, you’ll get to Dubai or Qatar.

“Six hours up, you will get to Europe, either France or London. That is the equidistant advantage that Lagos also provides as a hub, the whole of Africa. So, we will soon catch up with hubs like Addis Ababa, with hubs like Togo.
The minister also mentioned the ongoing investments in airport infrastructure under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He emphasised that the government had committed about $500 million towards the reconstruction and modernisation of the demolished international terminal at the Lagos airport.
He expressed that the investment intended to transform the about 50-year-old airport into a world-class facility capable of supporting increased passenger and cargo traffic.

The minister further noted that the government had expanded Nigeria’s international airport network with the addition of Victor Attah International Airport and Maiduguri International Airport, bringing the number of international airports in the country to seven.
He also mentioned the resolution of the legal tussle between BASL and the Federal Government as one of the achievements of the government since coming onboard about three years ago.

He argued that this indicated the government’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for private sector participation.
He appealed to local and foreign investors to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the aviation sector, including the proposed airport project in the Lekki-Epe corridor that is being promoted by the Lagos State Government.

  

No Safe Haven For Criminals In Lagos – LNS, Arrest Over 270 Suspects


As part of the ongoing war against crime and criminality in Lagos State, the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA) has carried out a massive statewide raid of identified blackspots, criminal hideouts, and shanties across the metropolis, leading to the arrest of 279 suspected criminals, hoodlums, and miscreants.

Speaking while parading the suspects at the Agency’s Headquarters in Bolade, Oshodi, the General Manager of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency, Prince (Dr.) Ifalade Oyekan FISN warned criminals and other individuals with unlawful intentions to stay away from Lagos State or face the full weight of the law.

According to Oyekan, the operation was carried out from the late hours of Sunday through Monday as part of the State Government’s sustained efforts to rid Lagos of criminal elements and maintain law and order. He explained that the exercise was intelligence-driven, leveraging the Agency’s extensive network of community informants and operatives to identify black spots and criminal hideouts in various parts of the state.

The General Manager disclosed that a total of 279 suspects, comprising 274 males and five females from different parts of the country, were arrested for various offences, including theft, public nuisance, and other criminal activities. He noted that many of the suspects had no means of identification and could not provide verifiable residential addresses.

Oyekan further revealed that some of those arrested for constituting a public nuisance were individuals who allegedly entered Lagos aboard lorries and other vehicles commonly used to transport livestock and goods into the state. He emphasised that while every Nigerian has the constitutional right to reside in and move freely within any part of the country, Lagos State will not tolerate criminality or activities that undermine the peace and security enjoyed by residents.

“The exercise is in line with the mandate of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy Dr. Obafemi Hamzat to ensure that Lagos retains its position as the safest and most secure state in Nigeria despite its large and growing population. Through our intelligence network and collaboration with sister security agencies, we will continue to ensure that law-abiding residents feel the presence of government while criminals find no hiding place in Lagos,” he said.

The LNSA boss also disclosed that two suspects were apprehended while allegedly attempting to steal a submersible pumping machine from a residential apartment. Several others were found in possession of dangerous weapons, including machetes and knives, as well as suspected illicit drugs and other prohibited items.

Reiterating the Agency’s commitment to public safety, Oyekan stated that the operation would be sustained and expanded in collaboration with relevant security and law enforcement agencies across the state.

Following the raid, all the suspects were transferred to the Lagos State Special Offences Mobile Court for further investigation and possible prosecution.
