Influencer Sir Jarus’ Case Struck Out with Conditions

Published

on


Social media influencer Suraj Oyewale, popularly known as Sir Jarus, recently announced that the court case filed against him by the Lagos State government through the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has been struck out.

This follows his admission on social media last week that he had assaulted his first wife, Mrs. Oyewale Ayoola, because she allegedly sought help from a “Cele Prophet” to stop him from taking a second wife. His admission sparked outrage, leading to his arrest and subsequent court appearance.

In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Sir Jarus confirmed the court’s decision, which included conditions such as undergoing counseling, using his platform to advocate against domestic violence, and staying off social media for a month.

He expressed his commitment to complying with these conditions and urged married individuals to seek peaceful resolutions to marital disputes, emphasizing patience as a key to solving issues.

Sir Jarus also took the opportunity to thank the Lagos State Police Command for their prompt attention to the matter, as well as his legal representatives.

He highlighted his long-standing use of social media for positive influence, particularly in providing education and career advice to younger individuals.

Despite the current situation, he expressed confidence that this isolated incident would not overshadow his broader contributions and reiterated his intention to continue his mentorship and advocacy work upon his return to social media.

Kleiman wrote, “With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of the national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes… I, for one, find it all a waste of breath.” James shared the post, adding a simple comment: “AMEN!!”

In a follow-up post, James confirmed his social media hiatus, writing, “And with that said, I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care.”

Published

on


Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.

At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.

The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.

The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
