Nigeria, too lawless - Fan
A Nigerian entertainment fan decried the state of lawlessness in the country and urged that action be taken.
He stated:
Nigeria never runs out of drama. Watching that clip felt like a scene from a movie. Thank goodness his security was alert; otherwise, it could have ended badly. I really don’t understand why young people would try to chase someone like that inside a stadium.

Between Abu Abel, VDM, and Iyabo Ojo
Legit.ng earlier reported that VDM stated that actress Iyabo Ojo told him that Abu Abel used to give substances to ladies and would forcefully sleep with them.
According to VDM, he asked Ojo if she had proof of her claims, and she replied that she knew two victims of Abu Abel’s alleged actions.
VDM warned Abu Abel, stating that if it was true he engaged in such behaviour, he needed to apologise to the women involved and confess his crimes. The TikToker added that if the allegations weren’t true, Abu Abel should be wary of Iyabo Ojo, as they were already planning to make him the next target.
