American wholesale corporation, Costco, has denied selling “baby oil” to disgraced rapper and music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy.

The federal officers seized supplies that they say were intended for use in orgies known as “freak offs,” including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of “baby oil” during the raiding of Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March.

In a new TMZ Studios documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment’, the rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo suggested he had 1,000 bottles of “baby oil” because he buys them in bulk from Costco.

Reacting to Diddy’s lawyer’s claim, Costco said they don’t sell “baby oil.”

“None of the company’s US locations carry ‘baby oil,'” Costco told TMZ.

Diddy was recently arrested by Homeland Security on suspicion of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and interstate transportation for prostitution.

Diddy has denied all the charges, entering a not-guilty plea on Tuesday, 17 September.

However, the Bad Boy Records’ boss’ bail request was rejected twice.

Naomi Campbell, the British supermodel, has been banned from serving as a charity trustee in England and Wales for five years.

The UK Charity Commission found that her charity, Fashion for Relief, was “poorly governed and managed financially” by its trustees.

The investigation, conducted from April 2016 to July 2022, revealed that only 8.5% of the funds raised were spent on charitable grants.

Additionally, charity funds were reportedly used for Campbell’s stays in luxurious hotels, spa treatments, and cigarettes.

Campbell responded to the findings in an interview, expressing her concern and claiming she was not aware of these expenses, as she had entrusted the charity’s management to a legal employer. She said, “I was not in control of my charity.”

Veronica Chou and Bianca Hellmich, other trustees, were also sanctioned.

Hellmich was banned for nine years for receiving unauthorized funds, while Chou was banned for four years.

Tim Hopkins, part of the investigation team, stated that Campbell and the other trustees had failed in their legal duties.

Approximately £344,000 has been recovered, and an additional £98,000 of charitable funds has been protected.

The recovered funds were used to make donations to other charities and settle liabilities.

Campbell founded Fashion for Relief in 2005 with the aim of relieving poverty.

A former Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, has advised President Bola Tinubu against trusting some of his closest advisors when it comes to recommending individuals for ministerial positions, particularly as he prepares for a cabinet reshuffle.

Shittu shared his insights during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.

He highlighted that some members of the President’s kitchen cabinet, who should ideally seek out technocrats for ministerial roles, have their own vested interests and may only suggest candidates who align with their personal agendas.

“You cannot trust anybody, even if you are talking of kitchen cabinet,” Shittu remarked, noting that some current cabinet members have not met expectations.

He elaborated, “This will be the first time he (Tinubu) would be recruiting people from all parts of the country most of whom he may never have met in life.

But he may just be riding on the recommendation, perhaps, of interested power blocs within the party who would give information and sell their candidate for one reason or the other.”

Shittu emphasized, “Mr President has an opportunity to decide what he wants. If you are not there and if he does not tell you exactly what he wants, it would be very difficult but I think one failing in our system in this country is that when people are appointed, or about to be appointed, we don’t have a kind of orientation exercise which perhaps will take a week or two weeks to school those to be given jobs to understand the priorities of their employer.”

Since taking office, Tinubu has appointed 48 ministers as of August 2023, shortly after his inauguration.

The Senate quickly screened and confirmed these ministers. However, one minister, Betta Edu, faced suspension in January, while another, Simon Lalong, transitioned to the Senate.

Calls for a cabinet reshuffle have intensified, with many Nigerians expressing dissatisfaction over the performance of several ministers amid rising inflation, a challenging economic landscape, and increasing insecurity.

This week, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga indicated that the President would indeed be reshuffling his cabinet but did not specify a timeline for this reorganization.
