A fresh war is gradually brewing between Nollywood Veteran Saidi Balogun who recently clocked 50 and Screen Diva Liz Anjorin who premiered her new movie ‘Owo Nairabet’ about a week ago.

The feud started a few weeks before few weeks preceding the actress movie premiere when a mild drama played out which divided the Yoruba movie sector into two factions.

It all began when one of her movie colleagues, Saidi Balogun, fixed the ‘grand finale’ of his 50th birthday for July 7, which coincided with the date for her premiere.

Mr. Balogun had earlier postponed the four-day event because of the funerals of his late colleagues—Olumide Bakare and Adeshina Adesanya aka Pastor Ajidara and Moji Olaiya.

Anjorin was angered by Saidi’s new date because he is the lead actor in her film. The pretty actress said she is still bent on waging war against the actor for betraying her trust in him.

She said: “He knew I had chosen July 7. Not only did he slate his party on 7-7-2017, he contracted all my anchors —Gbenga Adeyinka and Denrele Edun— and performers for his party.”

Attempts by businessman and Oluomo of Ago Iwoye, Femi Bakre and his wife, Funke Bakre, to settle the rift between both parties failed.

Anjorin said: “Yes, we were invited and for many hours, they begged Saidi to change his date for me but he refused. Not that he was just clocking 50. He clocked 50 on February 5, so why the desperation to clash with my premiere? I’d never relate with him again and we would never talk until kingdom come!”.

BREAKING: Portable Arraigned, Remanded For ‘Assaulting Police Officer, Car Theft’

Published

Controversial singer, Habeed Okikiola aka Portable, facing a nine-count criminal charge, was arraigned on Monday at the federal high court in Ota, Ogun state.

The charges, as confirmed by Ogun police spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi, include assault, theft, causing harm, and resisting arrest.

His arraignment follows a viral video on Sunday showing the singer in police custody, reportedly linked to a complaint filed by his estranged partner Ashabi Simple.

The prosecution alleged that Portable attacked Ashabi alongside several police officers and other individuals at his bar in the Iyana Ilogbo area on New Year’s Day.

Other named victims in the case are Ileyemi Damilola, Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi, and Ebuka Odah.

He was also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300, with dealer number Wally Dex Auto, valued at N12 million and belonging to Ileyemi.

In court, two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as witnesses to the alleged assault, though she was not present.

The police further accused Portable of obstructing and assaulting Ogungbe Olayemi, a female police inspector, while she was performing her official duties.

The presiding judge denied Portable bail, citing the absence of the allegedly assaulted police officer in court.

The judge insisted on seeing the officer before ruling on the bail application. Consequently, Portable was remanded in custody until a fresh bail consideration on January 19.

The Ogun command recently ordered an investigation into a now-viral video depicting the singer being assaulted in custody.
