Law Lee, a close associate of the embattled musician Naira Marley, has ignited a firestorm of controversy with his recent candid remarks regarding the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad. Mohbad, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, continues to be a contentious figure, with the circumstances surrounding his death stirring debates across social media platforms.

Lee's disdain for Mohbad seemed to escalate with each passing day, even after the latter's demise. He attributed this growing resentment to Mohbad's alleged derogatory comments about fellow artist Zinoleesky, which subsequently triggered a social media sp

In a recent development, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has taken steps to address the ongoing speculation surrounding the confinement conditions of Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, within its facility. Bobrisky, currently serving a six-month prison sentence for the abuse of the Nigerian currency, has been the subject of controversy amid allegations of receiving VIP treatment in detention.

In a significant development, the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has taken action against six palace functionaries for allegedly misrepresenting the palace before the Ooni of Ife.
