New Photos of Dapo Adaralegbe, Now Stephaine Rose


Many who knew Dapo Adaralegbe in the late 1990s and early 2000s in Obafemi  Awolowo University have been wondering over what might have become of him. He was well known to be a homosexual back then on campus. He never dressed as a male and most girls on campus agreed that he was an expert in the use of cosmetics. 

Though his father was a Professor in Obafemi Awolowo University, Dapo was expelled from the university in 2001 over his identity crisis as most of his lecturers could not stand a male student in the Faculty of Law wearing make up and coming to class in mini skirts and other female outfits. 

He could have passed unnoticed but his weird styles often attracted attention to him. His braids usually reached his backside and when he chose to wear weave on, they were odd colours thus earning him second and third looks.

Chibok Girls Abductor Arrested


Nigerian troops have arrested a businessman accused of "participating actively" in Boko Haram's mass abduction of nearly 300 schoolgirls from the northeastern town of Chibok last year, Nigeria's Defense Ministry said Tuesday.

Spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said Babuji Ya'ari headed a "terrorists' intelligence cell" for the Islamic extremists while masquerading as a member of the self-defense Youth Vigilante Group. That confirms suspicions that the vigilantes have been infiltrated by Boko Haram. Soldiers have told the AP that some of their comrades also belong to Nigeria's homegrown Islamic extremist group.

"The arrest of the businessman has also yielded some vital information and facilitated the arrest of other members of the terrorists' intelligence cell who are women," Olukolade said in a statement Tuesday night. He did not say when the arrests were made or how many people were arrested.

Indonesia Plane Crash Death Toll Rises To 141


Indonesian officials say 141 bodies have been recovered after a military transport plane crashed in a residential area of Medan on Tuesday.

The military says none of the 122 people on board the Hercules C-130 survived when it hit houses and a hotel before bursting into flames.

Many of the victims are thought to have been relatives of servicemen and women.

But the latest death toll indicates there were at least 19 people killed on the ground.

The BBC’s Alice Budisatrijo in Jakarta says the military has repeatedly revised the passenger list, a sign of how loosely the military keeps track of who gets on its planes.

It is also investigating whether some of those on board were paying passengers which is not permitted, she adds.

Housewife Dies In Lover’s Custody In Lagos


There was confusion on Monday at Ejigbo, after a housewife, Mrs Joy Bakare, impregnated by her secret married lover died in her lover’s custody after she gave birth to twins in Lagos State, western Nigeria.

The incident happened at Aya-Oye Street, Ejigbo, Lagos where her lover simply called Fatai kept her after she became pregnant for him.

Fatai took the late Joy from her matrimonial home to a single mother’s apartment in Ejigbo after she became pregnant for him.

Joy already had three children from her estranged husband who resides in Sururere area before she became pregnant for Fatai who resides at Abaranje in Ikotun area.

Fatai is also married and has children but did not reveal the relationship with Joy to his wife until the incident happened on Monday.

To cover up the shame after the late Joy became pregnant, she relocated her to the house of the single mother where she eventually gave birth to the twins, a baby boy and a girl.

BVN: CBN Extends Registration To October 31


The Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday extended the deadline for the Bank Verification Number registration by four months from June 30 to October 31, 2015.

The central bank disclosed this in a circular issued to all Deposit Money Banks operating in the country.

The circular dated Tuesday, June 30, 2015, with reference number BPS/DIR/GEN/CIR/02/008, was signed by the Director, Banking and Payment Systems Department, CBN, Mr. Dipo Fatokun.

The CBN stated in the circular that the extension of the deadline became necessary in order to give customers of DMBs more time to participate in the enrolment exercise.

It added that since the registration exercise had elicited a lot of interests from customers who had been crowding banking halls in the last few days, there was a need to extend the deadline so as to ensure a smooth completion of the registration process.

Beninoise Wife Poisons Husband Over Boyfriend In Lagos


A Beninoise, Kwenume Ojo, aka Abiodun, has been arrested by men of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly killing her husband, Jimoh Ojo, 32, in the Yaba area of the state.

Kwenume put poison in her husband’s soft drink and forced it down his throat while he slept on the bed. It was gathered that the 17-year-old suspect took the poison from a relative of her boyfriend after she was forced to marry Jimoh.

The incident happened on Friday on Apolo Street, the Makoko area of Lagos.

It was learnt that the suspect had been arrested by policemen from the Adekunle Police Division.

Jimoh’s in-law, Rotimi Akinlagun, explained that the deceased was slow, which made it difficult for him to get a wife.

He said his marriage to Kwenume was arranged by the two families.

Stripped Of “First Lady” Title, Buhari’s Wife Stubbornly Seeks Influence


According to SaharaReporters, two sources close to President Muhammadu Buhari have said that there was growing concern over the apparent determination of the president’s wife, Aisha Buhari, to transform herself into a politically powerful spouse, in defiance of her husband’s wishes.

The sources remarked that President Buhari had ordered that his wife not be officially addressed as “First Lady,” adding, however, that Mrs. Buhari has been operating as one.

Since Nigeria’s return to democratic governance in 1999, the wives of successive Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan had operated in a politically controversial and high profile manner. Stella Obasanjo, the wife of Mr. Obasanjo, was known as a quiet power broker who reportedly demanded loyalty to herself from those who worked closely with her husband. She died on October 23, 2005 in Spain during a secretive trip to perform cosmetic surgery to enhance her physique.

Mrs. Turai Yar’Adua emerged as a brooding operator who became the power behind the throne of her husband’s Presidency. When Mr. Yar’Adua took gravely ill and was hospitalized for long periods in a Saudi hospital, his wife, Turai, oversaw an ambitious scam to hoodwink Nigerians into believing that her comatose husband was still ably running Nigeria.

Banks May Deny 14.6 Million Customers Services By Wednesday


Barring any last minute extension by the Bankers’ Committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Deposit Money Banks will on Wednesday start to deny about 14.6 million customers from enjoying banking services over their failure to obtain Bank Verification Numbers.

The BVN project, which commenced in February 2014, will officially close on Tuesday, June 30, 2015.

The Bankers’ Committee, which comprises of the CBN, bank CEOs and a few other stakeholders, had given June 30, 2015 as the deadline for the customers to do their biometric registration and obtain their BVNs.

However, as of June 11, 2015, the committee said only 14 million customers had been registered under the BVN project.
