A colleague raped me, Actress Lolo 1 alleges
Media personality and actress Omotunde Adebowale-David, also known as Lolo 1, has shared her traumatic experience of being raped by a male colleague in the broadcasting industry on her podcast “Say My Piece”.
According to Lolo 1, she was raped by a colleague, which has left her traumatised and experiencing momentary panic whenever she sees him.
She said naming the attacker now will bring her criticism for not speaking out before but doing so now that the said person is an established figure in the industry.

She said: “I hardly ever say this, and I am not even ready to tell the full story. The stories of sexual assault. When I discussed it with my daughter yesterday, she held my hand and said, ‘Mummy, you’ve gone through so much.’ And I said I had.
“I remember how many of those things I have to relive. I have been raped only once in my life, and I was raped by a colleague. I see him every other day. Do you know how traumatised I am? When I see him, I just get into this momentary panic.
“But if a woman of my calibre named him, he’s an established person in the broadcast industry, won’t people say, ‘How come I didn’t speak about it for all these six years until now that he’s taking a prominent TV position?’
Lolo 1 noted that women often respond to s3xual assault with denial and self-blaming, highlighting the complexities of trauma and recovery.

Streamer Peller Escorted Out of Alake of Egbaland’s Palace in Abeokuta
Streamer Peller Escorted Out of Alake of Egbaland’s Palace in Abeokuta
Popular Nigerian streamer Habeeb Hamzat, professionally known as Peller, was recently involved in a tense incident during a visit to the palace of the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, in Abeokuta.
Hamzat, who is on a nationwide streaming tour to engage fans and explore new locations, reportedly faced an unexpected reception upon arrival at the palace. A video circulating online captures a voice, believed to belong to a palace chief, expressing displeasure over how the streamer, his entourage, and associate Tunde Perry entered the palace grounds. Their conduct was described as inappropriate for the royal environment.
As tensions escalated, other palace chiefs intervened, making it clear that the visit could not continue. Hamzat and his team were informed that the monarch would no longer receive them and were promptly asked to leave. The streamer quickly exited the palace, urging his crew to follow as the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
This incident follows a similar controversy during Hamzat’s visit to the Oba of Benin palace, where one of the monarch’s wives and some chiefs were reportedly reprimanded. The Benin Traditional Council has since summoned Hamzat to appear before it over allegations of discretion and visiting the palace without prior approval.

Nollywood Actress Declares Love for Ibrahim Chatta, Offers to Pay Her Own Dowry
Nollywood Actress Declares Love for Ibrahim Chatta, Offers to Pay Her Own Dowry
Nollywood actress Adelowo Abimbola Caroline has sparked widespread reactions after publicly expressing her admiration for fellow actor Ibrahim Chatta, revealing she would even pay her own dowry if given the chance to marry him.
The actress made the candid statement during an interview with FeelrightNews TV, where she spoke about her personal life, career journey, and experiences in the Nigerian film industry. Her declaration has since drawn attention from fans and industry observers, particularly due to its boldness.
During the interview, Adelowo recounted her upbringing in Northern Nigeria, describing how her early life shaped her worldview and determination. She also discussed her entry into Nollywood, noting that her passion for acting fueled her persistence despite initial challenges.
She emphasized the role of mentorship in her career, acknowledging Funsho Adeolu as a key figure in her professional development.
However, it was her remarks about Ibrahim Chatta that captured widespread attention. Adelowo described her feelings for the actor as profound, adding that she would be willing to take an unconventional step to demonstrate her commitment.
“I love him so much,” she said. “If he would permit me to be a wife in his home, I would even pay my own dowry just to show how much I love him.”
Her comments have sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some fans praised her boldness, others debated the cultural implications of a woman offering to pay her own dowry. In many Nigerian cultures, dowry is traditionally the responsibility of the groom and his family, symbolizing respect and commitment to the bride’s family. Adelowo’s statement, therefore, challenges conventional norms and has fueled conversations about evolving societal expectations and gender roles.
Despite her admiration for Chatta, the actress stressed that career paths and personal desires do not always align. She said her focus remains on her work and growth within the industry.
“I truly wish he could be my boss, but in life, we go where our journey leads us,” she reflected, showing acceptance of her current circumstances.

Liz Anjorin Sparks Outrage with New Allegations Against Iyabo Ojo
Liz Anjorin Sparks Outrage with New Allegations Against Iyabo Ojo
Controversial Nollywood actress Liz Anjorin has once again stirred online debate after making shocking claims involving her colleague Iyabo Ojo and her family.
According to a report by The Nigerian Tribune, in a video that circulated during the week, Anjorin stated that she has repeatedly taken images and recordings of Ojo and her children to various traditional spiritual practitioners. She claimed that this practice has been ongoing over time, encompassing photos of Ojo’s family members across generations.
Anjorin further alleged that the practitioners she consults are not of Yoruba origin, implying that their spiritual methods are particularly effective. She described a process in which individuals are given water to drink over a period of days, suggesting that the results of this ritual could determine innocence or guilt in certain matters.
In one part of the video, she specifically mentioned Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, asserting that she regularly presents her images to these practitioners on an annual basis. She added that, if her claims were accurate, there should already be visible consequences.
“I take the picture of the daughter to the native yearly and they should be seeing the repercussions by now. Her husband (Juma Jux) in Tanzania, did you hear his name again?” Anjorin said in the video.
The video has generated a strong wave of reactions across social media, with many expressing concern over the seriousness of the allegations.
The dispute between Anjorin and Ojo is longstanding, having evolved from professional disagreements into a personal and public feud. The conflict has frequently played out online, with both actresses trading accusations, threats of legal action, and disputes over business dealings and personal credibility.
As of now, neither Ojo nor her representatives have publicly responded to the latest allegations.
