A Nigerian human rights lawyer, Ike Obasi, has given actress, politician, and self-proclaimed evangelist, Tonto Dikeh, 72 hours to apologize over a viral video showing her conducting a deliverance session on a school child, describing the act as abusive and a violation of the minor’s rights and dignity.
Obasi said the footage circulating on social media was deeply troubling and highlighted the need to protect children from degrading treatment.
“It is disturbing that an innocent child could be subjected to such abusive and degrading treatment under the guise of religious deliverance,” he said.
He added that such actions, capable of humiliating or traumatizing a minor, should not be tolerated.
“I hereby give Tonto Dikeh 72 hours to tender a public apology to the child involved in the video,” Obasi stated.
The lawyer warned that failure to comply would leave him no choice but to pursue legal action.
“If she fails to apologize within the stipulated period, we will take the necessary legal steps to ensure accountability and protect the rights and dignity of the minor involved,” he said.
In a related development, social media influencer and activist Vincent Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man (VDM), also condemned Dikeh’s actions.
He described it as a violation of the child’s rights and warned her never to set foot in the school again, recalling that she had been absent when the school was left dilapidated until his non-governmental organization rehabilitated it with 30 million Naira.
VDM joined a growing chorus of influencers and activists criticizing the actress for allegedly pinning the child on a sandy floor, with her long nails pressed on the child’s eyes, under the guise of deliverance.
The incident raises pressing questions: Will relevant authorities intervene, or will it be overlooked? Has any law been broken? Will Dikeh apologize as demanded by the lawyer, and if she refuses, will legal action be taken? Only time will tell.
Nigerian singer Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has revealed why he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, claiming that she was “quite manipulative”.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Rema said the relationship was “beautiful” but not always peaceful.
The singer lamented that sometimes when he returns home hoping to rest from the pressure of the outside world, his then girlfriend often greeted him with chaos.
He said he eventually walked away when he could no longer tolerate her excesses.
“My romantic relationship was beautiful but a little quite manipulative. So much pressure. Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved but when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story. For now, I’m done,” he said.
Actress Regina Daniels revealed that she has emotionally stepped away from marriage but still hopes to have a daughter.
Speaking during a livestream with TikTok personality Jarvis, Daniels reflected on motherhood and relationships.
She revealed she has not seen her children since last year, though she remains hopeful they will reunite soon.
The mother of two explained that for personal reasons, she no longer envisions remarrying.
However, she expressed a strong desire to have a baby girl. According to her, raising a daughter offers a deeper connection to motherhood.
Daniels said having a female child brings a different and more profound understanding of being a mother.
“The last time I saw my children was last year. I know one day, I’ll see them again, very soon. But for some reason I have checked my mind out of getting married but I’m yet to have a girl and I must have a girl child. I feel like you’d understand motherhood better when you have a girl child”, she said.
In October last year, she parted ways with her husband, Ned Nwoko, following a public disagreement.
Popular Nigerian Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has raised alarm over an alleged plot to deregister Accord party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The singer made the claim a post on X on Thursday.
Why questioning reasons for the deregistration, Davido called for free and fair election.
He wrote; “Deregister Accord party for what? Cowards let’s go to the field.”
This is coming 48 hours after the singer called out Gboyega Oyetola, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, and the immediate past governor of the state over alleged desperate plan.
Recall that Osun State’s current governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in December 2025 following the party’s national leadership crisis and legal dispute and joined Accord Party for his re-election.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
