The federal high court in Lagos has restrained the inspector-general of police (IGP) and other officers from arresting Nedu Wazobia, the on-air personality.

Deinde Dipeolu, the judge, issued the interim order on Tuesday after considering an ex parte application filed by Nedu and five others who alleged harassment by the police at the instance of their business partners.

The order barred the IGP, the assistant inspector-general at Alagbon, and officers including Ngozi Braide, Stephen Onihane, and Echeng Julius from summoning or interrogating the applicants over a contractual disagreement.

Other applicants in the suit include Sarah Williams-Konha, Avalon Okpe, Ada Okpe, Barbara Okwaranobi and Tokindrumz Pictures and Media Ltd.

Nedu’s legal team argued that the police were being used to intimidate them despite earlier investigations by the X-Squad, which cleared them of criminal liability.

The police legal department had also advised that the issue was civil and should be pursued in court.

The dispute stems from a partnership in 2024 between the applicants and Tolulope Ariyibi-Oke under the Metropolitan School of Business and Management.

The project, an educational fundraising gala with a budget exceeding N83 million, was held in March 2024. However, the respondents later demanded a refund of N60 million, which Nedu’s team rejected.

The case was adjourned until September 29 for mention.

The NGO dispute spilled into the public space after controversial activist VeryDarkMan accused Nedu of fraud in connection with the project.

Nedu, however, denied the claim and issued a cease-and-desist notice demanding a retraction, an apology and a N500m notice of defamation lawsuit.

Oluwatosin Ajibade, the Nigerian singer popularly known as Mr Eazi, has put out a new song titled ‘Casanova’.

The two-minute track, released on Friday, offers a window into the artist’s personal conflicts, weaving a narrative of romantic turmoil and self-reflection.

Rather than a celebration of conquests, ‘Casanova’ presents a candid and conflicted perspective on love, fidelity, and the struggle with one’s own nature.

In the song, Mr Eazi openly admits to a deep attraction to women while simultaneously pleading for understanding from a partner.

He passionately maintains that he is neither fickle-hearted nor greedy but is instead grappling with the complex consequences of his romantic entanglements.

“I no be Casanova/ But I dey like woman too much/ Why you dey tell me it’s over/ When e be only touch I touch/ Truth to God me I’m trying for you/ But it’s so hard to do/ Tiger no fit to change him tattoo/ Just in one day or two/ Me I getti plenty loving wey suppose carry all of you/ I say me I get plenty loving wey suppose carry all of you,” he sings.

Mr Eazi revealed the song was created spontaneously.

“Really had fun making this record with @tmxofficial on the way to Cape Coast Abi Takoradi I don forget,” he wrote on X.

Mr Eazi first rose to international stardom following the breakthrough of his 2015 single ‘Holl Up.’ He is widely credited as the pioneer of Banku Music, a signature fusion sound that blends Ghanaian highlife with Nigerian chord progressions and patterns.

His recent ventures include the formation of ‘Choplife Soundsystem,’ a new pan-African music collective he announced in April 2023.

Burna Boy, the Grammy winner, has opened up about what his life could have looked like if he had not pursued music.

In a now-viral video, the ‘Last Last’ hitmaker was asked what he would be doing outside the entertainment industry.

Burna Boy jokingly listed several alternatives in his response.

“There are many options. I could be stealing oil, you know. I could be playing basketball. What else? I could be a fraudster,” he said.

“You know what I mean? I could have been a suicide bomber. Anything. Even a prostitute.”

Born Damini Ogulu, Burna Boy gained fame after releasing ‘Like to Party’, the lead single from his debut album ‘L.I.F.E’ (2013).

Since breaking into the mainstream more than a decade ago, he has established himself as one of Africa’s most successful artistes, known for his genre-blending style and chart-topping albums.

He has released several albums: ‘L.I.F.E’ (2013), ‘On a Spaceship’ (2015), ‘Outside’ (2018), ‘African Giant’ (2019), ‘Twice As Tall‘ (2020), ‘Love, Damini‘ (2022) and ‘I Told Them‘ (2023).

Burna Boy has also won several awards. In 2021, the Afro-fusion artiste won the ‘Best World Music Album’ category at the Grammy Awards for ‘Twice As Tall’.

Last month, the singer released his eighth studio album titled ‘No Sign of Weakness’.

Burna Boy revealed that the album’s title reflects his resilience in overcoming life’s toughest challenges.

The 34-year-old artiste said despite facing numerous obstacles that could have ended his life or career, he never showed weakness.
