Adegboyega Ikwue Ogunlesi, the music producer better known as Adey, has accused some police officers in Lagos of harassment.

In a post via X, Adey claimed that while driving on Ikorodu road in Sunday, he encountered police officers who “forcefully” took control of his vehicle, alleging that he tried to kill them.

He alleged that one of the officers swerved him off the road into a ditch. He also claimed that one of the officers shot at him.

The music producer, however, did not reveal the cause of the confrontation between him and the police officers.

“Nigerian police shot at me today, claimed I tried to kill them, and almost totalled my car by grabbing the steering wheel and driving me into a ditch. No wahala sha,” he wrote.

“Bro this man shot at me and grabbed my steering wheel to try and total my car on Ikorodu road while I was driving!”

As of the time of this report, the Lagos police have not reacted to the allegations. A message sent to Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police spokesperson, has yet to be responded to.

Adey, who studied engineering in America, returned to Nigeria to pursue his passion for music. He has collaborated with several prominent artists, including Olamide, Ycee, Femi Kuti, and Bisola Aiyeola, a Nollywood actress.

Mark Angel, the Nigerian comedian, has revealed that 2024 was the hardest year of his life.

In an Instagram post on Monday, the content creator recounted losing over $3.7 million to a failed forex investment, which left him “financially and emotionally devastated”.

Angel said the weight of the loss was “suffocating”, adding that he found himself “drowning in debts” and watched his “properties slip into the hands of loan sharks”.

The skit maker said that in his darkest moments, he even “considered ending it all”. He, however, expressed gratitude to those who supported him during the period.

Angel mentioned that his family, closest friends, and ex-wife stood by him, offering kindness and prayers.

“The year 2024 began like every other year, but I had no idea how much it would test me how much it would break me, yet ultimately reshape me. It was the year I lost everything,” he wrote.

“I trusted the wrong hands in forex and lost all my money. Nobody knew except my family and closest circle. The weight of the loss, over $3.7 million was suffocating.

“I was drowning in debts, and one by one, I watched all my properties slip into the hands of loan sharks. It felt like my world was crumbling, and in my darkest moments, I considered ending it all.

“But God… If not for His mercies, I wouldn’t be here writing this. He sent angels into my life when I needed them the most. Blessing, my friend who became family, never gave up on me. My pastor and his wife stood by me, praying and guiding me.

“My daughters, Victoria and Mila, reminded me of the beauty of life, even when it felt unbearable. My ex-wife Mandy extended a hand of kindness I will never forget. My son, Schoolboy, showed me strength beyond his years. And Bright, my social media assistant, stood as a pillar in moments I thought I’d collapse.”

The comedian also spoke about a scandal that rocked his career, revealing that it exposed fake friends and those sabotaging his peace.

“While I was still trying to heal, undergoing therapy to recover from the trauma, life dealt another blow. A scandal hit, shaking the foundation of my career and questioning the loyalty of those around me,” he added.

“It was in that storm that God began to uncover the truth. He exposed the fake friends, the pretenders, and the ones who had been silently sabotaging my peace and my circle. It was painful, but it was necessary.

“2024 was the hardest year of my life, but it was also the year God drew me closer to Him. Through the ashes, He taught me resilience, faith, and the true meaning of grace. I don’t take it for granted that I’m alive today. To everyone who stood with me, prayed for me, and held me up when I had no strength left, thank you.

“Here’s to God’s unwavering faithfulness. If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that even in the darkest valleys, His light never stops shining.”
