Tracy Ohiri has taken back her allegations against David Umahi, yet the viral videos of her initial statements persist in stoking public discourse.
A troubling video has surfaced on social media featuring a man named Adegoke, who is seen surrounded by armed assailants in a wooded area. He pleads for assistance to gather ₦100 million for his release, stating that he was kidnapped last Friday while en route to Sokoto. He reached out to the public through his brother's contact number. This footage has alarmed many, underlining the increasingly audacious nature of terrorists operating on major roads.
Additionally, in Lagos, a content creator known as Ella the Fashionistar sparked intense discussion after a verbal and physical confrontation while she was documenting the lengthy queues and bus shortages at the Ikorodu BRT terminal. The incident drew widespread reactions online, and LAMATA later acknowledged the growing need for additional buses, asserting that they are collaborating with private partners to enhance their fleet. They clarified that the staff depicted in the video is employed by a private bus operating company, not their agency.
In a related incident, controversy has resurfaced concerning Minister of Works David Umahi. Tracy Ohiri, who previously accused him of making unwelcome overtures and owing her more than ₦300 million for campaign materials, has publicly withdrawn her allegations. Nevertheless, the videos of her claims continue to circulate, sustaining public scrutiny.
On the political front, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ignited reactions after asserting his identity as a devoted democrat during an interfaith fasting event at the State House in Abuja. He noted that democracy is particularly gratifying when one is victorious, while justifying his choice to endorse the Electoral Act. A different clip from a Renewed Hope palliative event also stirred debate when a supporter proclaimed that those opposing Tinubu's aspirations for a second term would “meet an untimely end.”
Meanwhile, in Rivers State, a remarkable moment occurred during the vetting of commissioner nominees at the Rivers State House of Assembly when one nominee, Charity Deemua, confessed to not paying taxes because she considers herself a politician who “does not work.” This confession contributed to her rejection alongside three other nominees, reigniting discussion about the accountability of public officials.
On a positive note, Nigerian-American NBA player Bam Adebayo made history with a stunning performance for the Miami Heat, scoring 83 points against the Washington Wizards. This achievement ranks him second in the list of highest single-game scorers in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962 and exceeding Kobe Bryant’s renowned 81-point game in 2006.
