Painful: Laid to rest on Her Wedding Day: How a young lady who betrayed a married man ruined her family with multiple deaths
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A young Ghanaian woman named Tina is currently seeking refuge under the protection of a pastor after her family experienced a series of mysterious deaths.
According to Tina, nearly all her family members have passed away under unexplained circumstances, leaving her terrified for her own life.
Recounting her ordeal, Tina explained that her late cousin had promised to marry a wealthy married man as his second wife but later reneged on the agreement.
This decision, she believes, triggered a chain of events that resulted in the untimely deaths of multiple family members.
Speaking to Pastor Prince Elisha Osei Kofi on Secret TV, a YouTube channel, Tina detailed how the married man had proposed to her late cousin, who initially accepted his offer.
As a result, he became the primary benefactor of the family, covering the cousin’s educational expenses, supporting Tina’s schooling, and providing financial assistance to other relatives.
Additionally, the man renovated their family house for them.
However, despite his generosity, Tina’s cousin ultimately rejected him, revealing that she had already planned to marry someone else.
Feeling betrayed, the man allegedly threatened the family, vowing to deal with them for deceiving and rejecting him after all his contributions.
“Death has struck our family, and almost everyone has died, leaving us in a state of confusion. My cousin met a married man who was interested in making her his second wife, and she agreed.
“The man is very wealthy, so my cousin introduced him to the family, and everyone referred to him as in-law. He even renovated our house for us and took care of my cousin and me while we were in school.
“After my cousin finished school, he rented an apartment for her. However, my cousin had secretly arranged to marry another man. Despite this, my family continued to refer to the wealthy man as in-law whenever he visited,” she said.
“Whenever we needed help, the family would call on him, and he always assisted. One day, the man asked that he had heard rumours about my cousin’s upcoming wedding. My aunts and uncles denied any knowledge of it.
“Eventually, the man found out the truth, and my cousin admitted she could not be his second wife as she was getting married to someone else. The man then told her to mark her wedding date and see what would happen.
“A few days after the man’s departure, my cousin fell ill and, despite all efforts, she passed away. The man called her phone and claimed responsibility for her death.”
Following her burial, more family members began dying in quick succession, first her brother, then her mother, and shortly after, her father.
She added that her parents also passed away under mysterious circumstances.
Now fearing for her life, Tina revealed that the man allegedly cursed the family, claiming that anyone who stayed in the renovated house would die.
“The funeral date was set, and coincidentally, it was the same as her planned wedding date. After her burial, her brother died a few days later, followed by her mother, and then a week later, her father. Eventually, my own parents also passed away.
“It turned out the man had cursed our renovated house, claiming that anyone who entered would die. Furthermore, anyone who had benefited from his financial support would also meet the same fate. Now, I am living in fear.”
With death looming over her family, Tina is now seeking refuge and spiritual intervention to escape the same fate that has claimed so many of her loved ones.

No Ban On Airtime Borrowing Or Data Advance Services — FCCPC
Amid growing confusion fueled by viral social media posts and reports, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has clarified that it has not banned airtime borrowing or data advance services in Nigeria.
It described the reports as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Friday on its official X handle, the Commission clarified that it has not issued any directive prohibiting consumers from accessing lawful telecom value-added services.
It stressed that airtime borrowing and data advance services remain available, and any suggestion to the contrary is inaccurate.
The FCCPC explained that the confusion arose following regulatory measures introduced in July 2025 under the DEON Consumer Lending Regulations.
”The Commission has not prohibited airtime borrowing or data advance services, and no directive was issued preventing consumers from accessing lawful telecom value-added services,” the statement read in parts.
According to the Commission, the framework was established after a surge in consumer complaints relating to opaque charges, unexplained deductions, aggressive recovery practices, poor disclosure standards, and weak accountability in parts of the digital lending and advance-services market.
Rather than banning services, the regulations were designed to promote fairness and transparency by requiring operators to register properly, disclose fees and terms clearly, adopt responsible lending practices, and provide accessible channels for consumer complaints.
It noted that these measures are intended to strengthen consumer protection, improve service quality, and boost confidence in the market.
It further revealed that some telecom operators had engaged in exclusionary third-party arrangements in violation of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018, limiting competition within the sector.
The new regulations, it said, are aimed at opening up the market to both local and international participants in line with free market principles.
”The primary aim is to promote a fairer and more transparent system by mandating proper registration, responsible lending conduct, clear disclosure of fees and terms, accessible consumer complaint channels, data protection safeguards, stronger accountability for third-party partners, and effective regulatory oversight.”
The FCCPC stated that operators were initially given a 90-day compliance period to align with the new framework, which was later extended to January 5, 2026.
Despite this extension, some operators failed to regularise their services within the stipulated timeframe and continued operating models that had long generated consumer complaints.
According to the Commission, any temporary suspension or restriction of airtime borrowing or data advance services should be understood as a business or compliance decision by the operators involved, not a ban imposed by the regulator.
It added that attributing such disruptions to regulatory action is misleading, especially when operators had sufficient time to comply.
The Commission also warned against what it described as deliberate attempts by vested interests to spread disinformation and undermine efforts to create a fair and transparent market
It urged Nigerians to disregard false narratives and rely on accurate information regarding the status of telecom services.

JAMB Releases First Batch of 2026 UTME Results, Warns Against Score Manipulation
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of results for 632,788 candidates who participated in the first day of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), held on Thursday.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, on Friday.
According to the Board, candidates can now access their results by sending “UTMERESULT” via SMS to either 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number registered during the examination process.
At this stage, only result viewing is available, as printing of result slips has not yet been enabled.
JAMB emphasised that the UTME exercise is still ongoing, adding that additional batches of results will be released progressively as marking and processing continue.
The Board also issued a stern warning against any attempts to manipulate or falsify results.
It cautioned candidates against altering SMS messages received from its official platforms to misrepresent their scores to others, including parents and guardians.
Describing such actions as a serious criminal offence, JAMB disclosed that it has already taken action against offenders. “Two candidates and one parent are currently in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means,” the statement revealed.
The Board reiterated that anyone found guilty of such misconduct would face the full weight of the law.
JAMB urged candidates to adhere strictly to official channels and maintain integrity throughout the examination process, as it continues efforts to ensure a credible and transparent admissions system in Nigeria.
