2Baba, the renowned Nigerian singer, has married his partner Natasha Osawaru in a traditional ceremony.

The intimate event took place on July 25 in Abuja with only close family in attendance.

Though full details remain limited, images from the ceremony show the couple adorned in stylish traditional outfits.

2Baba wore a white short-sleeved traditional shirt with detailed grey embroidery, paired with a clean white wrapper tied at the waist.

He accessorised with several coral bead strands around his neck and wrists, a coral-beaded staff for a royal touch, and finished the look with sunglasses and white shoes that fused traditional and modern elements.

Natasha appeared in a red off-shoulder dress, complemented by an ornate coral bead okuku headpiece representing Edo royalty, carefully arranged on her head.

She also wore layers of coral beads from her neck down to her shoulders, arms, and wrists, creating a vibrant and culturally rich display.

Fans have taken to social media to send their congratulations, celebrating this personal milestone in the singer’s life.

Their relationship came into the public eye after 2Baba announced his separation from his estranged wife Annie Macaulay Idibia in January.

He stated then that his relationship with the Edo lawmaker had no connection to the breakup.

The ‘African Queen’ star proposed to Osawaru in February.

Family endorsement came in April when Natasha visited Rose, 2Baba’s mother, who had earlier urged her to “remove the beads” from the singer, saying he wasn’t in his “right senses”.

Dino Melaye, a former senator representing Kogi west, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His resignation was conveyed in a letter dated July 4, addressed to the PDP ward chairman in Aiyeroro Gbede, Ijumu LGA of Kogi state.

In the letter, Melaye stated that the PDP lacks the “capacity and potency” to liberate Nigerians from what he described as the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I hereby tender my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels of involvement,” the letter stated.

“This decision has become imperative due to the party’s lack of potency and capacity to deliver the Nigerian people from the prevailing political cankerworms that have eaten deeply into the fabric of our dear nation.

“Having carefully reflected on the state of the party, I can no longer in good conscience participate in the activities of the parties or lend my support to her agenda.

“In view of the above, please consider this as my formal withdrawal from the party and all its activities at all levels with immediate effect.”

Melaye is affiliated with the opposition coalition that has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform for the 2027 general elections.

He served as the Kogi west senator during the eighth national assembly from 2015 to 2019 and is known to be a close associate of former vice-president Atiku Abubakar.

In September 2024, the PDP ward in Aiyeroro Gbede suspended Melaye over accusations of anti-party conduct.

The ward’s executive committee alleged that Melaye was invited to appear before a disciplinary panel in August to respond to claims of misconduct but failed to honour the invitation.

A High Court in Kwara State has found Islamic cleric Abdulrahman Mohad, also known as Mohammed A. Bello, guilty and sentenced him to death.
He was convicted for the murder of Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, a final-year student at Kwara State College of Education, in a ritual killing.

Justice Hannah Ajayi delivered the judgment on Thursday at the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin.
Four others—41-year-old Islamic scholar Ahmed Abulwasiu from Adualere, Ilorin; 28-year-old Neo Life business operator Sulaiman Muhydeen from Amilegbe, Ilorin; 29-year-old phone technician Jamiu Uthman from Adualere, Ilorin; and 31-year-old farmer AbdulRahman Jamiu from Elemere, Malete—were acquitted and released.

The crime happened on Monday, February 10, 2025, after Hafsoh received a call while attending a naming ceremony and then went missing.
Her disappearance led to an urgent search by loved ones and a police report filed the next day at Oja Oba Station in Ilorin.

Police investigators used her call records to track the last contact, which led to the arrest of Abdulrahman Mohad.
According to the police First Information Report, the suspects admitted they were part of the same occult group and confessed to robbing and killing Hafsoh for ritual reasons.
