    Why I will never allow my partner use a public gym – Terry Apala spills

    Nigerian singer Terry Apala, has stated that a lot of women go to the gym to seduce men and make videos instead of working out.

    Terry made this known during a recent interview with Echo Room hosted by reality star Teddy A, where he vowed that he will never allow his partner to go to a public gym.

    In his words: “I will not allow my partner to go to the gym. I was a member of iFitness VGC so I’ve been there. I saw what was going down. I feel like ladies of nowadays are just going to the gym to just vibe and do videos. They’re just vibing, they’re not there to actually work out.

    “If they really want to work out, they won’t be focused on doing videos. They are just there to seduce men because some men also go to the gym to look for women. I’m speaking from experience. I also once registered with a gym in Megamound Estate. I saw things there. Girls go there to do all manner of things.

    “A lot of ladies are just at the gym to have fun. Maybe, few ladies are going to the gym to actually work out, but many of them are just going there to enjoy the vibe.”

    EFCC slammed over Terry Apala’s arraignment

    A Nigerian lawyer, Ayo Shonaiya, has condemned the continued detention of singer Terry Apala by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of Naira abuse.

    In a recent development, Terry Apala was remanded in custody by a Federal High Court in Lagos after being arraigned by the EFCC on charges of Naira abuse. The singer had allegedly trampled on the Naira while dancing during a social event, which is contrary to Section 21(1) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.

    The charge reads: “That you, TERRY ALEXANDER EJEH, on the 5th day of January, 2025, at La Madison Place, Oniru, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, whilst dancing during a social event, tampered with Naira notes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by marching on the same and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.”

    Reacting to the singer’s arrest, Shonaiya expressed his disappointment on X.com, revealing that Apala’s situation breaks his heart.

    He also noted that incidents like this are significant reasons why many Nigerians choose to leave the country.

    “This really breaks my heart. When you hear the saying “Nigeria is not a real place”, this is what it means. When you hear “May Nigeria never happen to you”, this is why Nigerians in droves are escaping this country everyday,” he said.

    He also expressed his immense shame whenever he drafts charges with local and inflammatory language.

    “Whilst dancing during a social event, tampered with Naira notes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by marching on the same”. As a lawyer, I am even ashamed at the drafting of the charge with local and inflammatory language such as “marching” on the notes .If there’s ever a bullshit law in this country, this is it. #FreeTerryApala“

    Popular musician, Terry Apala remanded in Lagos prison

    Nigerian musician, Terry Alexander Ejeh, popularly known as Terry Apala, has been remanded in a correctional centre for alleged mutilation of the Naira notes.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Terry Apala was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday.

    The popular musician was arraigned before Justice Akintayo Aluko of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos on a one-count charge of mutilating the Naira notes.

    The charge reads: “That you, TERRY ALEXANDER EJEH, on the 5th day of January, 2025, at La Madison Place, Oniru, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, whilst dancing during a social event, tampered with Naira notes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by marching on the same and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.”

    TNG reports Terry Apala pleaded not guilty to the offence when it was read to him.

    In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, S.I. Suleiman, prayed for a trial date and also urged the court to remand him in a correctional centre.

    The defence counsel, Felix Nwabuda, informed the court of a bail application dated April 23, 2025 and prayed the court for a short date for the hearing of the application.

    “Whilst praying the court for a short date for the hearing of the bail application, I will be craving the indulgence of the court to release the defendant to the defence.

    “We undertake to produce him in court. He will not evade hearing. He came in from the United Kingdom on April 23, 2025; and on the invitation of the EFCC, he came on his own,” Nwabuda argued before the court.

    The prosecution counsel, however, opposed the application, saying, “the application is alien and unheard of.

    “I urge the court to afford us the opportunity to look at the application and respond properly so that the court can make a well -informed ruling”.

    In a short ruling, Justice Aluko refused the application of the defence.

    He then adjourn till May 5, 2025 and ordered the remand of the defendant in the Ikoyi Correctional Centre pending the determination of the bail application.
