    Oxlade wounded, manager detained as #EndSARS protest turns violent

    Rising RnB singer, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman better known as Oxlade, sustained injuries while partaking in the ongoing #EndSARS protest in Surulere area of Lagos.

    The singer was among several other demonstrators who hit the streets of Surulere on Monday to demand an end to police brutality in the country.

    The protest, which started on a nonviolent note, turned violent with demonstrators and security operatives engaging themselves in a heated exchange.

    It was gathered that the singer was injured in the resultant commotion.

    In several videos making the rounds on the social media, Oxlade was seen being assisted from the scene of the protest by other #EndSARS protesters.

    Ojah B, the singer’s road manager, was also allegedly assaulted and consequently arrested during the protest.

    Nigerian pop star, Olamide, took to his social media page to confirm the occurrence, adding that Banky W, a fellow singer, has already sent for his lawyers to take up the matter.

    “I saw videos of people captured in ‘Lere (including Oxlade’s manager)and shared with Banky W. He’s sent lawyers down. I owe him my vote next election #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria,” he wrote.

     

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Lagos police command had earlier debunked claims that its men shot at protesters and later claimed that protesters shot three of its officials.

    Manager of hotel demolished by Wike among 27 new COVID-19 cases in Rivers

    The Rivers State Government on Sunday confirmed recording 27 new positive coronavirus cases in the state.

    According to a statement released on Sunday evening by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, the Manager of Prodest Hotel demolished some two weeks ago by Governor Nyesom Wike was among the new cases.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the embattled manager, identified as Bariledum Azoroh after the demolition was detained, tried and convicted at a magistrate court in Port Harcourt while undergoing a 14-day isolation.

    Meanwhile, the owner of the hotel, Gogorobari Needam had since cried out the ‘shredded’ way the trial was conducted. He also accused Gov Wike of hijacking the judicial system in the state.

    According to the commissioner, the hotels were demolished because “the owners violated Executive Order 7 which banned the operation of hotels.

    The COVID-19 Taskforce members from the Local Government who went to enforce the Executive Order were brutalized and dehumanised leading to the death of one of them.”

    The LASTMA Public Relations Officer, Mr Olumide Filade, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Lagos on Sunday.

  • Lampard best equipped to succeed at Chelsea – Terry

    Lampard best equipped to succeed at Chelsea – Terry

    Frank Lampard is “better equipped” than any other prospective candidate to succeed at Chelsea should the club hire him as manager, says former team-mate John Terry.

    The Derby County boss is in talks to to take over the vacant position at Stamford Bridge, reuniting with the club where he made his name as one of the best midfielders of his generation.

    Former Blues coach Maurizio Sarri was allowed to leave after just one year in order to take charge of Juventus in his home country, leaving the Premier League outfit looking for a replacement.

    If Lampard were to take the reins, he would be expected to at the very least match the success enjoyed under Sarri, including a top four finish and a Europa League crown, while contending with a transfer embargo.

    Terry, who will feature in the top flight next season as assistant to Dean Smith with newly-promoted Aston Villa after they beat Derby in the Championship play-off final, feels that his old friend is the right man for the job, implying that the 41-year-old would thrive in the pressure that the position would bring.

    “After the season he has had with Derby and with Chelsea’s transfer ban in place, there is no-one better equipped than Frank to succeed at Chelsea,” the 38-year-old was quoted in the Daily Mail. “It is perfect timing for him and the club.

    “Frank was under pressure to succeed at Chelsea the day he arrived from West Ham and he never hid from that. He revelled in it and went on to become Chelsea’s greatest-ever player. He is just as exacting on himself now as a manager.

    The former defender added that he did not feel there would be backlash from fans in hiring Lampard, who has only his loan season with Derby under his belt in terms of experience.

    “I don’t believe there will be any trepidation from supporters,” he added. “They love him. [He] is a legend and now is the right time for him to come home.

    “He would welcome that responsibility to make Chelsea more competitive. He has the tactical knowledge, enthusiasm and will have the backing of the players and fans to prove what he can do.”

    The London outfit will hope to confirm their new manager within the coming weeks, particularly ahead of their pre-season trip to Asia, when they will face La Liga champions Barcelona.

  • Davido denies slapping Kizz Daniel’s manager

    Davido denies slapping Kizz Daniel’s manager

    DMW boss Davido has denied slapping the manager of Kizz Daniel, Tumi, at the backstage of his “City Of Davido” concert.

    TNG had earlier reported that the 30BG leader was alleged to have slapped Tumi after performing and was heading towards the changing room when Daniel’s manager reportedly sought the singer’s attention

    However, Tumi’s request was rejected, and while leaving, Davido allegedly called him back and slapped him.

    But the ‘Dami Duro’ crooner has taken to his Instagram page to deny the allegation levelled against him, saying that he did not touch the manager as he urged Tumi to tell the truth.

  • Trouble looms as R.Kelly’s manager is wanted by Police

    An arrest warrant has been issued for R.Kelly’s manager after he allegedly made a death threat against the father of the singer’s girlfriend.

     

    TMZ gathered that James Mason is reportedly wanted in Georgia for allegedly threatening to kill the father of one of Kelly’s girlfriends, Joycelyn Savage.

     

    Joycelyn’s father Timothy Savage went to police in May claiming James called him and said: ‘I’m gonna do harm to you and your family, when I see you I’m gonna get you, I’m going to f*****g kill you.’

    Recall that just last year,Timothy and the Savage family claimed Kelly had made Joycelyn one of his sex slaves and was keeping her captive, a idea she denied in a social media video and which was also denied by the 51-year-old singer.

    Joycelyn has been living with the ‘I believe I can fly’ singer or a year and her family claim they have been unable to contact her.

    Mason supposedly told TMZ his lawyers have contacted the police and that he will cooperate with their investigation, while denying he threatened Joycelyn’s father.

    Last July Joycelyn, now 22, came forward after her family made astonishing claims that she was being held against her will by the R&B singer and that he has ‘brainwashed’ her.

    She released a video to insist that was not the case afterwards, saying: ‘I’m no hostage!’

    She said: ‘I’m 21, I’m about to be 22 in a few days and I just mainly want to say that I am in a happy place with my life and I’m not being brainwashed or anything like that.

    ‘It just came to a point where it definitely has got out of hand. I’m totally fine. I’m happy where I’m at and everything is OK with me.’

    Addressing her parents’ concern, she said: ‘I don’t really know what’s going on with that,’ she said of their fears on Monday. ‘I’m very heartbroken over what’s going on with this situation because it’s getting to a point where it’s getting too much’.
