We attacked villages and killed people; when we left bush we were shown Islam doctrine—Ex-Boko Haram

A repentant Boko Haram terrorist has shared his regrets after leaving the group. He said he joined the group in 2020 and took part in attacks on many communities. He said they caused a lot of destruction and killed people but he deeply regrets those actions.

Speaking in a video shared by Daily Trust TV, the ex-Boko Haram man said the northern communities they attacked and destroyed had the resources to help the region grow, and if they had known better, they would not have destroyed the communities. He said after coming out of the bush he was taught the true teachings of Islam, which made him realize that what they were doing was wrong.
The man called on his former friends still in Boko Haram to stop fighting, saying that their actions are not in line with what God wants. He urged them to surrender and choose peace, just like he did, so they too can have a chance to live a better and more meaningful life.

In his words: "I joined the Boko Haram campaign in 2020, we attacked many communities and shed innocent blood. We regret everything we destroyed especially in the lake chad, if we knew we would not have done it because the communities have everything to take care of this region. But when we left the bush, we were revealed to the true doctrine of Islam. I want to tell my former friends that what they are doing is not the work of Allah, they should come out and embrace peace"

JP2025: Why my husband’s pics on your chest – Priscilla tackles Papaya Ex over outfit.

Priscilla Ojo, a Nigerian influencer and the daughter of popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has questioned Papaya Ex over her outfit at her wedding.

DAILY POST reports that Priscilla got married to her Tanzanian lover, Juma Jux, in a traditional ceremony on Thursday March 17 2025, in Lagos State.

Papaya Ex, a popular fashion model and content creator, was captured in a trending video on social media with the groom’s photo placed on her breast while the bride’s picture was placed at her waist region.

The controversial dress caught Priscilla’s attention when Papaya Ex came out to spray her money.

Reacting to the outfit, Priscilla asked “Why did you put my husband’s picture on your chest”.

Papaya Ex replied “I’m sorry baby, na because I love you”.

Papaya further explained that she did that to gain attention online.

Nigerian celebrities at the ceremony include singers Nice, Peter Okoye, Korede Bello, Ebenezer Obey, Segun Johnson, and Diamond Platnumz.

Manchester United Get Double Suspension Boost After Dramatic Europa League Win vs Lyon

Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as key midfield duo Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro both avoided suspension in Thursday night’s dramatic victory over Lyon, according to Manchester Evening News.

United edged past the French side in a thrilling 5-4 win at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate triumph to reach the last four of the competition. Goals from Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire ensured Ruben Amorim's men kept their European dream alive — and with it, a vital chance to secure Champions League football next season.

However, the victory wasn’t just about the scoreline. Heading into the quarter-final second leg, both Ugarte and Casemiro were walking a disciplinary tightrope. Having each picked up two yellow cards earlier in the tournament, a further booking would have triggered a one-match suspension — ruling them out of the semi-final first leg.

But both players held their nerve and steered clear of the referee’s notebook during a heated and high-stakes encounter, giving United a major boost ahead of their semi-final showdown. The relief is even more palpable given UEFA rules: all accumulated yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals, meaning Ugarte and Casemiro now begin the semi-final phase with a clean slate.

This reset dramatically lowers the risk of missing the final due to a yellow card suspension, allowing Amorim more tactical flexibility as United prepare to face a high-energy Athletic Bilbao side.

United’s European run now offers a lifeline in what has otherwise been a turbulent campaign. With Premier League inconsistencies leaving their top-four hopes in doubt, winning the Europa League presents not just silverware, but a golden ticket back into the Champions League.

Klopp demands three big signings before agreeing Real Madrid deal

Jurgen Klopp will ask for guarantees over three big signings before agreeing to manage Real Madrid amid strong reports Carlo Ancelotti will be sacked later this month.

Real Madrid were humbled in the Champions League, bowing out to Arsenal via an eye-opening 5-1 aggregate scoreline. Los Blancos have fared little better on the domestic scene either, with the club trailing bitter rivals Barcelona by four points in LaLiga.

Real Madrid have advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey, though the imposing figure of Barcelona – who’ve beaten Real Madrid by an aggregate scoreline of 9-2 in their two matches this season – awaits.

And according to Sky Sports, the Copa del Rey final will be the final stand for manager Carlo Ancelotti who’ll be relieved of his duties shortly after.
Ancelotti isn’t expected to be out of work for long, with the Brazilian national team job already lined up. Back at the Bernabeu, the expectation was Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen would replace Ancelotti when the time came.

However, reports from UOL and then Sport claimed Real Madrid are pivoting to Jurgen Klopp.

The legendary former Liverpool boss is currently unhappy in his role as Head of Global Soccer with Red Bull and weighing up a return to management.

Klopp would reportedly only return to the stresses and strains of management for two jobs – Brazil or Real Madrid.

And with Sport stating Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is cooling on Alonso, along with Klopp reportedly being ‘willing’ to negotiate, the 57-year-old could be back in the dugout at the Bernabeu before the season is out.

Now, a fresh update from Defensa Central has shed new light on Klopp to Real Madrid.

They state Klopp’s name is ‘gaining momentum’ in the Spanish capital, though ‘he would come with a series of conditions that would need to be accepted.’

The report then claimed the conditions relate entirely to transfers and regard Real Madrid’s leaky defence specifically.

Defensa Central continued: ‘He would ask Florentino Perez for the arrival of a right-back, who will be [Trent] Alexander-Arnold, a left-back, and a centre-back.’

Demanding a triple coup will NOT be a deal-breaker for Real Madrid and his requests are said to ‘align with what the sports management proposes’ anyway.
What about Xabi Alonso?
It was only a few weeks ago that Alonso – who starred for Real Madrid during his playing days between 2009-14 – looked a shoo-in to replace Ancelotti.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano declared: “The top target remains absolutely only Xabi Alonso. For Real Madrid it is going to be Xabi Alonso when they part ways with Ancelotti.”

Alonso is by no means out of the equation, though a handful of factors do appear to be working against the Spaniard.

Sport claimed the scale of Real Madrid’s implosion this season is prompting Perez to seek a more experienced campaigner.

Alonso is widely regarded as one of the best young managers in world football, but he’s exactly that: young.

Klopp, meanwhile, has overseen well over 1,000 games in senior management and proved at Liverpool he can lift the game’s biggest honours.

His record in the Champions League – three finals with Liverpool and one with Borussia Dortmund – is also stellar.

Furthermore, BILD state Leverkusen will demand a substantial payment of around €10m before letting Alonso leave. Alonso is under contract with Leverkusen until 2026.

US man, Akinyela shot dead after hijacking plane with passengers on board

A man from the US has been killed after he hijacked a small passenger plane, injuring two passengers in the Caribbean nation of Belize.

The man, identified as Akinyela Sawa Taylor, hijacked the plane with fourteen passengers onboard, taking control of the flight at knife-point.

He stabbed two passengers in the back in the process while ordering the pilot to take him out of the country.
Belize’s commissioner of police, Chester Williams, told local journalists that the hijacker was then shot in the chest by another passenger.

The plane landed safely at Philip Goldson international airport after circling erratically over the coastline near Belize City, with depleting fuel.

Taylor was pronounced dead at a local hospital, while one of the passengers with knife injury was in a critical condition.

Details of the incident remained sparse according to the Guardian UK, but Williams said passengers narrowly escaped.

The plane was en route from Corozal to San Pedro when the hijacking took place.

A spokesperson for the US embassy told reporters that it was working with Belize to investigate the incident.

Police Declare ABC Transport Founder’s Daughter Wanted for Cybercrime Offenses

The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) has declared Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of ABC Transport founder Frank Nneji, wanted for alleged offences including criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.

In a bulletin issued by the Office of the Inspector-General of Police, Nneji is accused of involvement in cybercrime-related activities. Authorities directed her immediate arrest and urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or the NPF-NCCC headquarters in Abuja. According to police, her last known address was in Victoria Garden City, Lagos.

This development comes just months after Nneji initiated a defamation lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Abuja against prominent social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, influencer Kemi Olunloyo, and lawyer Henry Ikenna Uzochukwu.

VeryDarkMan had previously accused Nneji of making inappropriate allegations against her ex-husband, misrepresenting herself as an American travel nurse, and undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures, including a Brazilian Butt Lift.

The controversy, initially an online exchange, has now intensified into a serious criminal investigation by Nigerian authorities.

The police appeal to members of the public to assist by providing useful information leading to Nneji’s arrest.

Abike Dabiri Reacts After Hearing The Name That The Supporters Of VeryDarkMan Are Called
After hearing the name that the followers of the social media influencer VeryDarkMan are called, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, has responded to the situation.

The post that he made on Wednesday, which was shared on his official X handle, contained his response to the situation. Following the fact that VeryDarkMan issued her with an ultimatum to remove some Nigerian women from Ivory Coast, this is the immediate result.

An X user informed Abike Dabiri that the social media influencer's most devoted followers are referred to as "Ratels," and she responded to this information using her own words.

Following is the content that the user of X posted on his official X handle:
Ratels are the mobsters who are staunch individuals who support each and every action taken by VDM. They possess the characteristics of a wolf. Constantly pushing their victim out of the way. Acting on impulse, they are prepared to attack anyone who comes their way.”

Laughter was the response that Abike Dabiri gave in response to the statement that was made by the X user. She stated that she is completely unfamiliar with the name in question.

Nigerian Army laments as south-east youths shun 2025 recruitment exercise.
The Nigerian Army has raised concern over the poor turnout of applicants from the south-east in its 2025 recruitment exercise.

Brigadier-General Chima Ekeator, who is leading the Army’s recruitment enlightenment team, disclosed the figures during a sensitisation event in Enugu on Sunday.
He said while Kaduna State has recorded over 3,000 applications, Enugu has received only about 100.

Ekeator urged young people in the region to seize the opportunity and fill the recruitment slots allocated to their states.

He said, “Our people are losing what rightly belongs to them. Each year, whenever a slot is being allocated to our people, we keep noticing that the number of applicants from our side is usually very poor.

“Take for example, Enugu State was given about 200 slots, but the people who made it were never up to 100 due to poor application. This has also become a recurring decimal in other states in the south-east.

“Today’s statistics on the number of applicants show that Kaduna has about 3,000 applicants, while Enugu is still battling with about a hundred; and by the time we are through with screening, you will not have enough to recruit from the state.”

He dismissed claims that Igbo soldiers were being killed in large numbers because they were often deployed first to battlefronts.

He said, “There are a lot of falsehoods out there stating that the Igbo are being killed because they are the first to be sent to the battlefield. These things are not true. After all, we that are here have risen high in the Army, and we are telling you that they are lies.

“Today, in the Nigerian Army, our brother is one of the top commanders in charge of equipment. His name is Chibueze Ogbuabor.”

Lloyd Ekweremadu, commissioner for youth and sports development, said the low enlistment numbers have persisted despite efforts to reverse the trend.

He called for better strategies in publicising military career opportunities and educating the public on their benefits.

He said, “While seated here, I was just trying to conduct very quick research and it appears this same problem is happening worldwide and militaries across the world are deploying more cutting-edge strategies for recruitment because we are talking about the new generation that you communicate in a different way from the past.”

He described the military as “a noble and highly respected profession across the world”.
