BBNaija: Kassia’s Instagram account locked: Official statement released
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
The management of BBNaija housemate Kassia has released an official statement confirming that her Instagram account has been locked.
The statement, shared on X (formerly Twitter), outlines the circumstances surrounding the account lockout and the only way it can be unlocked.
BBNaija housemate, Kassia.
According to the statement, Kassia’s Instagram account was unexpectedly logged out on Thursday, 15th August 2024, without any prior notification from Meta.
The management claimed to be performing a security check and reset the email to one that the account owner does not have access to.
Despite various attempts to regain access, including contacting Meta support and utilizing professional help, the account remains locked.
The management even attempted to use Kassia’s lookalike sister to verify the account, but this approach was unsuccessful.
The only viable solution now is for Kassia herself to unlock the account, which can only happen once she exits the BBNaija house on the final day.
The press release reads:
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM KASSIA’S MANAGEMENT**
Dear Kassia Lovers,
It is with heavy hearts that we release this press statement. On Thursday, 15th August 2024, our queen’s Instagram account was suddenly logged out on all devices without any prior notification or warning from Meta. Meta claimed to be conducting a security check and reset the email to one that even the owner doesn’t have access to.
We tried to log in using all possible options, but unfortunately, all our efforts proved abortive. We brainstormed and reached out to Meta support, family members, and even IG professionals to help fix this account, but Meta had locked it up. We eventually exhausted all our options except one—to verify the account using a selfie video. This is a major challenge because Kassia is still in the BBNaija house and will not leave until the final day.
Fortunately, Kassia has a lookalike sister who could easily pass for her twin. We tried our best to ensure this worked, but it didn’t. Right now, only Kassia can reopen the account when she leaves the Big Brother house on the final day as the winner.
**HOW YOU CAN HELP**
Dear fans and well-wishers, we refuse to be discouraged. We refuse to be distracted. We refuse to give up. We will do all we can to make our girl’s current backup account grow massively. We can also bounce back if we do it together. Let’s make this work together in unity.
Bandits have killed a monarch,his wife, his son, and three other residents in a deadly night attack on Olegabulu community in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.
Residents said the attack happened on Thursday night when the armed men, numbering about four and arriving on two motorcycles, stormed the palace of the monarch and opened fire on him and his family members.
According to a resident who requested anonymity, the attackers entered the community without raising suspicion, reportedly exchanging greetings with locals in the native dialect before heading straight to the royal residence. Once inside, they opened fire, killing the traditional ruler, his wife, and his son on the spot.
The attackers were said to have spent about 20 minutes in the community. After the assault on the palace, they reportedly moved to a nearby compound where they killed two additional residents and left another person injured before fleeing the scene.
Eyewitnesses described the incident as coordinated and deceptive, noting that the gunmen initially blended in with residents before launching the attack.
The Chairman of Agatu Local Government Area, Melvin Ejeh, confirmed the incident, stating that five people were killed and one person sustained injuries.
He added that security operatives, including police personnel, have since visited the scene.
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer in Benue State, DSP Udeme Edet, said she was yet to receive full details of the attack at the time of filing this report.
Proceedings in the case involving former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, were on Thursday adjourned till May 6, 2026, by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
At the resumed hearing, counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, represented the prosecution, while Bello was represented by his lead counsel, Mr Joseph Daudu.
During proceedings, the prosecution informed the court of the need for more time to respond to applications filed by the defence, while Bello’s legal team urged the court to consider their submissions and move the matter forward.
Justice Nwite, in his ruling, adjourned the case to May 6 to allow all parties to adequately prepare and ensure a fair hearing.
Mr Bello is currently facing charges bordering on alleged financial misappropriation during his tenure as governor, allegations he has repeatedly denied.
Nigeria is set to experience one of the highest increases in food insecurity worldwide in 2026, according to the latest Global Report on Food Crises released on April 24, 2026.
The report, compiled by agencies including the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Food Programme, raised fresh concerns over worsening hunger levels driven by insecurity, economic hardship and declining humanitarian funding.
According to FAO findings, about 4.1 million additional Nigerians could fall into acute food insecurity in 2026, placing the country among those with the largest increases globally.
Reacting to the development, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, Mr Alvaro Lario, said “the crisis is becoming more prolonged and difficult to contain”.
“We are no longer seeing just temporary shocks, but persistent shocks over time,” warning that the situation is placing growing pressure on global stability.
FAO noted that about 266 million people across 47 countries face high levels of acute hunger in 2025, with conditions expected to remain severe into 2026.
In Nigeria, the situation is being worsened by continued insecurity in key farming regions, rising inflation and limited access to food.
According FAO projections, over 34 million Nigerians may experience crisis level hunger between June and August 2026, during the peak of the lean season.
The FAO Country Representative in Nigeria, Mr Hussein Gadain, said the combined impact of armed conflict, climate shocks, high food prices and cuts in global aid funding is pushing more Nigerians into hunger.
The report called for urgent and sustained intervention, warning that without immediate action, millions more could slide into emergency levels of food insecurity in the coming months.
