Influencer Sir Jarus’ Case Struck Out with Conditions
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.

President Tinubu Speaks on CNG Benefits and Calls for Relief for Commuters
President Bola Tinubu speaks on CNG in Nigeria and shares how the benefits from it aren’t even helping the government but are going into the pockets of truck owners.
While speaking on his promise to help the refinery and the removal of the fuel subsidy to better the country, he spoke on CNG:
“Equally, the introduction of compressed natural gas — well, I will appeal to you: we will do more and encourage you, but ask your drivers to let the benefits trickle down to commuters too, because whatever benefit is coming from CNG is going into the pockets of truck owners. It’s not spreading as fast as I would like, but it should spread.
“The refineries you mentioned are going to come back to work. We’re just building a very firm reset and structural reworking of the economics of it.”
