In the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 10, housemate Dede has candidly revealed her personal struggle with social anxiety, addressing perceptions about her demeanor in the house. According to a recent update from LMSINT MEDIA, Dede has consistently been a subject of mixed reactions among housemates and viewers alike. Several housemates have labeled her as a “snub” due to her preference for solitude and her choice to avoid physical interactions, especially with male housemates. During a private conversation with fellow contestant Koyin, Dede openly admitted her struggle: Dede: “Do you have social anxiety?”Koyin: “No, do you?”Dede: “Yes, I do.” Koyin offered a reassuring response, encouraging her not to stress over occasional social awkwardness. She gently reminded Dede that everyone has unique struggles, stating, “such is life.” Earlier in the season, during her first diary session with Big Brother, Dede shared that she identifies as an introvert and doesn’t naturally feel comfortable around new people. She went on to explain her hesitation to hug fellow contestants, saying she had no prior relationship with them before entering the show. “I don’t hug people I just met. I didn’t know them before coming here.” Despite her quiet nature and introverted tendencies, Dede’s transparency about her mental health challenge is sparking important conversations around social anxiety and emotional awareness in high-pressure environments like BBNaija.
Nigerian film star and activist, Iyabo Ojo, has formally petitioned the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), currently headed by Nuhu Ribadu, regarding an alleged case of police misconduct involving the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCC) and controversial online figure, VeryDarkMan. According to the petition filed by her legal team, The Maverick Forte Legal, and dated July 29, 2025, Ojo alleged a significant breach of professional conduct by officers during her interrogation at the Force Headquarters located in Abuja. The widely shared legal document reveals that during her questioning session with the NPF-NCC, VeryDarkMan, a civilian currently facing charges in a separate matter where Ojo is a witness, was improperly allowed into the interrogation room. This access, she claims, compromised the integrity and confidentiality of her session. Improper Access Allegedly Authorized by Top Officer The petition further points to Commissioner of Police, Ifeanyi Henry Uche, as the official who reportedly authorized VeryDarkMan’s entry into the confidential interrogation space. Ojo claims that the access was a result of an “unprofessional and personal relationship” between the officer and the online influencer. The actress expressed serious concerns about how sensitive details from her session were leaked online shortly after the event, allegedly by VeryDarkMan himself, further deepening her mistrust in the ongoing process. Call for Relocation of Investigation to Lagos In response to these alleged breaches, Iyabo Ojo has vowed not to attend any further sessions at the NPF-NCC headquarters in Abuja. She has also requested that the case be relocated to Lagos for an independent and impartial investigation. The actress emphasized the need for a probe that is free from manipulation, bias, or influence, urging authorities to put an end to what she describes as a “tainted and partial inquiry.” This latest controversy stems from an earlier police invitation extended to Ojo following her public remarks accusing popular singer Naira Marley of being involved in the death of fellow artist Mohbad. Ongoing Advocacy for Transparency and Justice Ojo has long been known for her boldness in addressing sensitive issues within the Nigerian entertainment industry. This recent development marks another turning point in her advocacy for justice, especially in cases involving artists and influencers. LMSINT MEDIA continues to monitor the unfolding situation and will provide updates as more details become available.

Dangote Group, the parent company of Dangote Cement Plc, has refuted allegations that one of its branded trucks was involved in a tragic road accident that occurred along the Wannune-Gboko highway in Tarka Local Government Area, Benue State, where several lives were reportedly lost. The company, through its official spokesperson, Mr. Anthony Chiejina, addressed the issue in an exclusive interview with LMSINT MEDIA on Monday, stating categorically that no vehicle owned by Dangote Group was connected to the unfortunate incident. Earlier reports from eyewitnesses and some local media platforms had circulated the news that a truck allegedly laden with Dangote-branded cement collided with a Toyota Sienna minivan on Sunday evening, leading to multiple fatalities and sparking public concern. However, while responding to these viral claims, Chiejina clarified that the mere fact that a truck is loaded with Dangote cement does not confirm it belongs to Dangote Group. He noted that most of the company’s products are distributed through third-party agents, who operate independently under authorized distribution agreements. “It is important for the public to understand that not all trucks carrying Dangote cement are owned by Dangote Cement Plc. Many of these vehicles are operated by our numerous distributors across Nigeria,” Chiejina explained. “Following the reports, we conducted a comprehensive check of our logistics records and confirmed that none of our trucks were involved in any road traffic incident in Benue State at the reported time,” he told LMSINT MEDIA. As at the time this report was filed, an official press release had not yet been issued by the company. However, insiders suggest that a formal communication may follow shortly to set the records straight amid public concern. The incident, which occurred along the frequently busy Wannune-Gboko Road, has drawn national attention, especially because it adds to a series of previous road mishaps involving trucks transporting cement products branded under Dangote Cement. The company has in the past faced similar accusations, prompting a broader conversation about road safety and the responsibility of corporate logistics partners. It is worth noting that this situation underscores the challenges of brand misassociation, where independent transporters who carry branded goods are often mistaken as representatives or employees of the brand itself.
