Allegedly
Adeleke University Accused of Forcing Muslim Students to Attend Church Services
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has raised concerns about alleged religious discrimination at Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State. According to MURIC, the university is compelling Muslim students to participate in Christian church services and has reportedly disrupted their Ramadan observances.
MURIC’s Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, stated that the organization has received multiple complaints from Muslim students at Adeleke University. These students allege that attendance at the university’s church programs is mandatory for all students, regardless of their religious beliefs.
Furthermore, a recent incident reportedly involved the disruption of Tarawih prayers—special evening prayers performed during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan—with students being warned not to hold such gatherings again.
Professor Akintola emphasized that such actions infringe upon the fundamental right to freedom of religion, which is protected under the Nigerian Constitution.
He mentioned that this is not the first time concerns have been raised about Adeleke University’s treatment of Muslim students. In 2019, MURIC accused the institution of religious persecution and called upon the National Universities Commission (NUC) to investigate.
The allegations at that time included forcing Muslim students to attend church services on Sundays and making mid-week services on Wednesdays and Saturdays compulsory for those residing in university hostels.
Additionally , the recent allegations have prompted calls for the NUC to intervene and ensure that universities uphold the constitutional rights of all students. MURIC also advises Muslim parents and prospective students to exercise caution when considering enrollment in private institutions that may not respect their religious practices.
Finally, they urge educational authorities to ensure that private universities are transparent about their religious affiliations and practices, allowing students to make informed decisions about their education.

Popular American Filmmaker Tyler Perry has reportedly been accuses of sexual harassments and assault.
It was reported that a $260 million lawsuit was filed against the filmmaker in Los Angeles on Friday by Derek Dixon, an actor.
Dixon claims that the filmmaker sexually harassed him and mentioned many cases against him such as work environment harassment, workplace gender violence, violation of the Bane Act, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
However the claims are being dismissed by Tyler Perry’s Attorney who shares that this a scam to take down the filmmaker. “This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam, but Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.”
Popular Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has been called out online for allegedly flaunting fake perfumes. The food critic recently shared photos of perfumes on his Instagram page, claiming they were worth ₦1 million.
He captioned the post: “Blew another 1 Million Naira on Niche Perfumes just because. Best smelling man in Lagos, quote me on that shii.”
However, a random lady commented on the post, issuing a warning about counterfeit perfumes. She asked Opeyemi for his perfume plug to verify their authenticity or confirm if he had been scammed.
Her comment read: “Hi Opeyemi, who is your perfume plug? This is not me trying to be funny, but they are selling fakes to you in case you’re unaware. I work with Floraïku and I’ve unboxed 8 of their perfumes directly from the brand. This isn’t their packaging—this looks fake.”
