The Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN), has denied reports that it banned Burna Boy’s music from playlists following a recent physical altercation between him and DJ Tunez. In a statement released Thursday, DJAN National President, Prince Akim Edeh, described the reports as “false and misleading”, advising media platforms to stop spreading the falsehood. The association condemned the unauthorized use of its logo to support the misleading claims and distanced itself from the reports. DJAN stated it is monitoring ongoing investigations into the incident and remains committed to fostering a healthy music environment. It also revealed that DJ Tunez is not a registered member of DJAN. The statement read in part: “We noted with grave concern reports surrounding a recent incident involving a Disc Jockey and Burna Boy. As a body dedicated to the growth and integrity of the entertainment industry, we maintain a firm and unwavering stance against any form of violence or physical confrontation...

  The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed a viral wanted poster featuring Nigerian content creator and comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, Mr. Funny or Oga Sabinus, calling it fake and misleading. The commission made this clarification on Thursday through a post on its official social media page, stamping the circulating poster “FAKE NEWS” and warning those responsible to stop spreading false information. “Clout chaser, Stop this now!” the EFCC wrote in the caption accompanying the post. The doctored poster, which has been widely shared across social media platforms, bore the EFCC logo and falsely claimed that Sabinus, 43, was wanted for obtaining money by false pretence. It also included a purported last known address as 13/14 Ligali Ayomide Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State. Investigations revealed that the poster mimicked the design and format typically used by the anti-graft agency in announcing wanted suspects. The EF...

  The  ongoing war of words between the two Afrobeats superstars, Burna Boy and Wizkid has escalated, with Burna Boy openly challenging the “Essence” singer to a physical confrontation. This latest development follows a heated exchange that began after Wizkid condemned Burna Boy and his entourage for the alleged assault of DJ Tunez at a Lagos nightclub on Monday. Wizkid had slammed the move, describing the use of a “10-man team” to settle scores as a sign of weakness. In a new viral video, Burna Boy dismissed Wizkid’s criticisms, mocking him for “fighting” only through social media posts. He claimed that while Wizkid relies on the internet for influence, he operates in the “real world.” “Wizkid just dey there dey tweet. Their power dey for online. Our own power dey for real life. I think sey DJ Tunez go call him boss and him boss go do something or send people, but Wizkid just dey tweet. Burna Boy stated. The “Last Last” singer also denied reports that he teamed up with ten ot...

  The United States President, Donald Trump has said American forces stationed around Iran will remain in place until what he described as a “real agreement” is fully achieved and honoured, as Washington navigates a delicate two-week ceasefire with Tehran. The truce, reached on Tuesday, is already showing signs of strain. Israel has carried out fresh strikes in Lebanon, while the United States has pushed back on some of Iran’s conditions for ending the conflict ahead of upcoming negotiations. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that all the U.S. military assets — including ships, aircraft, personnel, and additional weaponry — would stay deployed in and around Iran to ensure what he called the “destruction” of an already weakened adversary, until a final agreement is secured and implemented. Although the president expressed confidence that a deal is likely, he warned that failure to reach one could trigger even more intense military action. Meanwhile, Iran has agreed to reopen t...

  Iran has issued fresh navigation directives for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, warning of potential sea mine risks in the main shipping channel. In a statement released Thursday and reported by local media, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advised all ships to adopt alternative entry and exit routes through the vital waterway to enhance maritime safety. “All ships intending to transit the Strait of Hormuz are hereby notified that in order to comply with the principles of maritime safety and to be protected from possible collisions with sea mines, they should take alternative routes for traffic in the Strait of Hormuz,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement. The advisory comes as Tehran agreed to temporarily reopen the strait under a two-week truce, easing tensions that had disrupted global oil supply chains. The waterway, which handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil shipments, had been effectively blocked by Iran since early March, triggering a s...

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) President,  Patrice Motsepe yesterday arrived in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, as tensions continue to mount following the controversial reversal of the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations final result, a decision that has sparked widespread debate across African football. Motsepe’s visit comes almost a month after the Confederation of African Football ruled that the Senegal national football team had forfeited their 1–0 victory over the hosts, the Morocco national football team, in the final played on 18 January in Rabat. CAF later awarded Morocco a 3–0 victory on 17 March, citing regulations on match abandonment, after Senegal players, coaching staff, and officials walked off the pitch following a late penalty decision awarded to Morocco that was subsequently missed by forward Brahim Diaz. The decision has triggered strong reactions in Senegal, with the Senegalese Football Federation confirming it has lodged an appeal at the Court of Arbitratio...
