The video, which surfaced online earlier this week, captured Nollywood actress Angela Okorie jogging outdoors while being trailed by uniformed officers carrying rifles.

While the footage initially drew attention to the actress, public discourse quickly turned to the conduct of the escorting policemen.

In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, strongly condemned the officers’ actions.

He described their conduct as “inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force.”

Adejobi confirmed that the police have commenced a full investigation to determine the context of the video and identify all officers involved. He further stated that appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken based on the findings of the internal review.

“The Nigeria Police Force strongly frowns at the conduct of armed police officers seen in a viral video trailing actress Angela Okorie while she jogged—an act considered clearly inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force,” the statement read.

While reports suggest the footage may be from behind the scenes of “Queens of Guns,” a recent project promoted by Okorie, the Force maintained that regardless of the setting, the behaviour exhibited falls short of the institution’s expectations.

“While it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production, the conduct of the officers seen in the video falls short of the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force,” Adejobi said.

The incident has ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media, where users expressed a mix of outrage, sarcasm, and concern over what they described as misuse of state security resources.

@thebishopoflagos mocked, “Una get standard? Smh,” while @issyluv added, “They are private citizens, they should be able to hire the services of private security… Police officers are attached to just anyone as long as they can cough up change to NPF.”

Others expressed frustration with the Force’s priorities. @wf\_iscobossy commented, “Focus on Benue killings first,” while @dassa said, “Una don leave Benue killings come focus on Angela.”

Despite the backlash, some defended the officers’ presence, suggesting the scene might have been misunderstood. @mattizcomedy wrote, “I really do not see anything wrong with the police men jogging with her.”

Angela Okorie has yet to make any public statement in response to the controversy.

As the investigation unfolds, the Nigeria Police has assured the public that its internal processes are active and disciplinary steps will follow in line with established procedures.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
