EVICTION FEAR GRASPS THE NEXT MOVIE STAR HOUSE…

Published

on

The race for the prestigious crown of the Next Movie Star 2016 edition ‘Super Charged’ is getting hotter following the eviction of six housemates from the Next Movie Star house.

In what will go on to be an eventful and most emotional period in the house, the wind of eviction that swept through the house left many of the remaining housemates dumbfounded.

First to be evicted from the house was 25 year Maria Attah who was voted out by her fellow housemates in a ballot after a task called the Knowing me knowing me Game. A twist was however added to the scenario as Igodo the Voice of the house exempted some from the whole eviction exercise who ironically was not in the good books of the other housemates.

After the whole voting exercise, Sophia Okorie, Victory Bamgbade, Moses Samuel  were put up for eviction.

Sophia was however evicted having amassed more votes from his fellow housemates. The display of emotions was evident as tears flowed freely from the other housemates in solidarity for the evicted colleague.

However the dust surrounding the eviction of Victory Bamgbade was yet to abate, when a few days later two other housemates were pardoned by Igodo the voice of the house to the surprise of many.

Veterans and industry experts have been visiting the house since the house mates entered the house.  They have taught topics ranging from Production Management to Art directing; Social Media Management to Public Relations; and from Screen writing to Stage Acting and dancing. One of them was Mr Kingsley james, who spoke to the housemates on the Attitude of a Star Actor, and how to make financial reward from the profession.

Tears flowed freely as the other housemates who survived the wind of eviction were left drooling in uncontrollable emotions after seeing their colleagues leave the house.

The evicted housemates will be hosted to a lavish eviction party at a location that will be disclosed later by the organizers amidst pomp and pageantry with family friends and well wishers expected to be present at the event.

The Next Movie STAR 2016 tagged ‘SUPER CHARGED’ which is the 12th  anniversary edition of the show is the only privately run reality show in the whole of Africa,  powered by Digital Interactive Media, and proudly supported by Coca Cola…..

Just In: ICPC, police clears D’banj of N-Power fraud, rape

Published

By

Popular singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, aka D’banj, has been cleared of rape and N-power fraud allegations by the Nigeria Police Force and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, respectively.

In separate documents exclusively obtained by our correspondent on Friday, the police and the anti-graft agency gave the singer a clean slate in separate clearance reports upon completion of investigations with incontrovertible outcomes on the innocence of the singer.

In an affidavit deposed by Toheeb Lawal of Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, before District Court of Abuja, wherein the reports of the NPF investigation, and clearance from the ICPC were exhibited and marked exhibits A and B, the legal practitioner averred that the police and the ICPC cleared the singer of rape and fraud allegations.

Society Reporters reports that in 2020, the singer was accused of rape and the Inspector General of Police ordered an investigation into the allegation.

In a report dated November 14, 2023 with case number CR:3000/X/FHQ/ABJ/SEB/T.1/VOL 18/284, and signed by ACP YY Abubakar of the Special Enquiry Bureau at the Force Criminal Investigations Department at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the police said the matter was investigated but there was no evidence to substantiate the claim.

The report read in part, “The allegation was investigated.

The complainant, witnesses and suspects made their statement. Investigation was extended to the Glee Hotel Lagos, where the staff on duty on the date of the alleged incident, made their statement.

“The management and staff of the Glee Hotel averred that the first suspect was not seen in the hotel on the date of the alleged incident, neither was he given a spare key to gain access to any room in the hotel, where the complainant lodged, and they have only one key to each room, which completely debunked the allegation of the complainant. The management of the hotel also held that it had no record to show that complainant checked into the hotel as a guest on the alleged date and she did not at any time, raise alarm, complain or report any indecent, assault or rape.

“There is no medical report on the victim to ascertain that she was raped. 4There is no adduced facts and corroborative evidence to substantiate the allegation of rape against the suspect. Prima-facie offences of Indecent Assault, Rape and Intimidation is not made out.

“However, the complainant, through her counsel, Ojoge, Omileye & Partners, submitted a later dated 17th July, 2020, to the DIG Force CID, to voluntarily withdraw the petition and discontinue the investigation.”

Also, sometimes late 2022, the ICPC accused D’banj of diversion funds associated with the N-Power Programme of the Federal Government.

However, after its investigation, the ICPC said that D’banj was not guilty of any fraud allegation. In a response to an inquiry, the commission cleared D’banj of any infraction on the matter.

The clarification was dated November 29, 2023 with document number ICPC/OPS/SDD/SPT.LG/31/23.

“The commission investigated issues of fraud in the administration of the N-POWER Scheme where Mr Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo’s name came up. However, there was no prima-facie case of fraud against him.

“Kindly be advised that Mr Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo is not under investigation with the Commission for any fraud-related offence,” the ICPC clearance partly read.

D’banj’s lawyer, in his deposition filed before the Chief District Court of the Federal Capital Territory at Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, also averred that the singer was never a government official and never had any access to government funds and that the N-power campaign he supported was free and was never paid a penny by anyone or the government.
