South African Based Nigerian Man, Arrested By NDLEA With Drugs (Pictured)

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos have arrested a South African-based Nigerian, Ayoola Adebayo, with 3.920kg of substances found to be methamphetamine. Ayoola was arrested during the outward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight to South Africa.

A statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Friday stated that the drug was concealed in false bottom of the two bags the suspect wanted to check-in at the departure hall of the airport.

The suspect, who is married with two children and holds a Higher National Diploma in Estate Management from Osun State College of Technology in 2006, said he made a mistake getting involved in drug trafficking, saying he never knew he could be caught.

“I sell food and small household goods in Pretoria and I have lived in South Africa for over three years. My friend in Pretoria asked me to bring the two bags to him. He bought my return ticket and gave me N150,000.
I thought the drug would not be detected because it was neatly concealed. This is a big mistake on my part because I have sustained my family with the grocery business. It will not happen again if I can get out of this problem,” he said

NDLEA commander at the airport, Mr. Ahmadu Garba, said the case was being investigated

Fans praise Davido’s respectful gesture towards Burna Boy’s mother

Award-winning Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has melted hearts online with a touching video of him warmly greeting Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, at billionaire Tony Elumelu’s All-White Christmas party.

In a video circulating online, the 2025 Grammy nominee was captured exchanging pleasantries with Burna Boy’s mother at Tony Elumelu’s All-White Christmas party.

In the viral clip, Bose Ogulu was seen sitting with her daughter as Davido approached her to greet her.

The sweet gesture has been widely praised by fans, who commended the singer for his respect and maturity.

An X user, Iwunze (who identifies as #IwunzeJC), wrote, “Normally, Davido has no problem. He is a free-spirited man. He loves and respects mothers a lot, regardless. And that is one of the reasons I like him.”

Another user, Ada (using the username #AdaOkenwa1), wrote, “I don’t know who raised Davido, but all I can say is thank you. You did a great job.”

FindingSolace, who tweets anonymously as #lifeinsolace, wrote, “Let love lead. It costs more to hate than to love. More of this in this space.”

Another user, OneGirlie_vi, who tweets anonymously, wrote, “I love the fact that his beautiful mother doesn’t have hate in her mind like her son. All love.”

Uncle Floyd, who identifies as #MRFLOYD_247, wrote, “That’s the way forward… no matter the disagreement between you and your guy, keep the kids, siblings, and mums out of it. The spirit of love and a mother can’t be compared; she will always love everyone. A mother and also manager.
She loves progressive kids.”

K.A.Y.O.D.E, who identifies as #Dhavidtips, wrote, “A mother is always a source of love and strength.”

The rivalry between Davido and Burna Boy is well-known, with the two music giants frequently exchanging jabs over the years.

In July, Burna Boy shaded Davido after a fan suggested he follow Davido’s example and start a family.

Burna dismissed the comment, referencing Davido’s challenges with one of his baby mamas. When another fan criticised him for the dig, Burna noted how the person hadn’t used the best example.

Their feud reignited last year when Davido referred to Burna Boy as an “upcoming artist” in an interview, emphasizing that he and Wizkid paved the way for younger stars like Burna Boy, Mayorkun, and Asake.

Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has recalled how Don Jazzy, the music producer, gave him $10,000 during one of their meetings.

In a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, said he had reached out to Don Jazzy to collaborate on his song ‘Asampete’.

The 31-year-old said he felt that the music producer’s vocals were needed to complete the track.

Odumodublvck said during his visit to Don Jazzy’s residence, he was given the money and told that he could keep all the royalties from the song.

He added that Don Jazzy even offered to be featured as an artiste on the track.

“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.

“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.

“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.

“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”
