Charly Boy Criticizes Deji Adeyanju Over Bribery Claims Against Peter Obi
Entertainer and social critic Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has taken a swipe at activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju over his recent claims against former presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Adeyanju had alleged that Obi once tried to bribe him during the 2023 presidential campaign, saying the Labour Party flagbearer invited him for a discussion and later handed him a brown envelope of money, which he claimed to have rejected.
Reacting to the allegation, Charly Boy dismissed it as a blatant lie and warned Adeyanju not to drag Obi’s name through the mud. He accused the activist of chasing clout and working for selfish interests, saying Adeyanju could easily sell out for “30 pieces of silver.”
Sharing his thoughts in Pidgin on X, the self-styled Area Fada said Obi remains one of the few politicians who still give Nigerians hope for a better country, unlike Adeyanju who, according to him, has reduced himself to an errand boy for money-driven politics.
He cautioned that such “reckless and irresponsible behavior” could land Adeyanju in legal trouble, stressing that the struggle is for a new Nigeria and not for clout-chasing.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
