Nigerian Model Shares How She Was Allegedly R@ped After Fake Modelling Job In Lagos (Video)

A Lagos-based content creator and thrift seller, who is popularly known as Fems Thrift, has claimed that she and a friend were s*xually assaulted after being lured to what they believed was a modelling job in the Ajao Estate area of Lagos State.

The survivor made the allegation in a video shared on her TikTok page, stating that the incident occurred on Friday, February 8.

According to her, she was contacted on Instagram by a man who claimed to have recently returned from the United Kingdom to establish an international fashion brand in Nigeria.

She said the individual offered her a fee of N140,000 for the modelling assignment and requested that she also promote the brand using her social media platforms.

The initial contact was reportedly made on February 1, and she agreed to the job after being assured that a full production team, including a make-up artist, would be present at the shoot.

Fems explained that her friend accompanied her to the location for safety reasons.

“My friend was already with me, so she accompanied me for safety,” she said.

According to her account, they arrived at the apartment around 11 a.m. on the agreed date but found the space largely empty.

The man allegedly told them the location was a content creation studio and claimed that the make-up artist had stepped out briefly.

She further alleged that the suspect asked her to take a shower, citing preparation for filming, and provided a robe for her to change into.

After she complied, the man reportedly entered the room under the pretext of demonstrating how to lock the door ahead of the arrival of other crew members.

She alleged that the situation escalated when the man locked the door and threatened both women, forcing them to comply with his demands.

She further claimed that their mobile phones were seized and that they were compelled to unlock private folders, with personal files allegedly transferred to the suspect.

According to her, the man threatened to release the materials online if they reported the incident or spoke publicly about it.

“He threatened me with my internet presence, saying if I spoke up, he would release my private videos now and in the future,” she added.

The victims reportedly left the apartment between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. the same day.

The video has since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many users calling for the immediate arrest of the suspect and urging law enforcement agencies to investigate the allegations. Images said to be of the alleged perpetrator have also been circulated online.

When contacted on Wednesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, said no formal complaint had been filed as of February 11, 2026.

She added that efforts were ongoing to reach the complainant to enable the commencement of an investigation.

I’m A Lover Boy, Not Womanizer’ – 2Baba Idibia Speaks On Fatherhood, Marriage To Natasha (Video)

Nigerian music icon Tuface Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has spoken out about the common perceptions surrounding his private life, insisting that he is not a womanizer.

2Baba said he is straightforward and a lover boy.

He disclosed this in an exclusive chat with the Voice of Nigeria, where he spoke about his responsibilities as a father and the weight that comes with stardom.

The legendary singer addressed what he believes is the most persistent misunderstanding about him.

“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba said.

Moving beyond public opinion, the award-winning artiste spoke emotionally about fatherhood, acknowledging that juggling his music career with raising his children has been one of his toughest personal challenges.

He said: “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes.”

Despite the regret he occasionally feels, 2Baba described his children as a continual source of joy and admiration.

“They’re amazing, brilliant people,” he said. “I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners.”

He also responded to public commentary about his wife, Natasha, particularly suggestions that she is overly controlling or significantly influences his decisions.

According to the singer, such claims are often far removed from the truth of their relationship.

“Everybody has a say in everybody’s business now. Sometimes people say very nasty things.

“You grow thick skin, but sometimes it gets to you. Reality is reality, she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman.”

Away from the bright lights and roaring crowds, 2Baba revealed a calmer, more reserved personality, explaining that he is naturally shy despite performing on some of the world’s biggest stages.

“My profession doesn’t permit me to be shy, but I’m actually a very shy person.

“Sometimes I just want to be alone and chill. Other times I want to hang out. I like nature; I have my moments.”

‘Power Pass Power’ – Cubana Chief Priest Slams Isaac Fayose For Criticizing Tinubu Alliance

The entrepreneur was reacting to comments allegedly made by Fayose criticizing his decision to align with President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In the lengthy posts, Cubana Chief Priest defended his political stance, arguing that as a businessman employing over 1,000 people, he has chosen to collaborate with the government rather than oppose it.

“Over 30 governors align and you are crying because an ordinary businessman aligned? Power pass power,” he wrote.

He challenged Fayose to a public business debate, questioning the source of his wealth and referencing Fayose’s brother’s eight-year tenure as governor.

“You want me to negotiate the release of Nnamdi Kanu by being in opposition? I have chosen my path – business and politics,” he stated.

The celebrity socialite further declared his support for President Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, expressing confidence in the president’s policies.

“As for me and my family, we have decided to stay with the moving train, Renewed Hope,”he said.

Port Harcourt Refinery Ready To Resume Operations — PENGASSAN

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has stated that the old Port Harcourt Refinery has been rehabilitated to roughly 90 percent and could recommence operations within a week, pending approval from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd).

The PENGASSAN President, Mr Festus Osifo, disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

His remarks come amid renewed debate over the future of Nigeria’s state-owned refineries, following comments by NNPC Ltd’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Bayo Ojulari, who described the reopening of the Port Harcourt Refinery as a potential waste of resources.

Osifo said the refinery is technically ready for operation, explaining that the delay in restarting the plant is largely due to profitability considerations rather than mechanical issues.

“As of today, you can start the old Port Harcourt refinery, and it will function. You can put it on today, and it will function. However, NNPCL as a company is there to make a profit,” he said.

“So, if they want to start it today, within the next week, they can bring it back to life. It has been rehabilitated up to about 90 per cent.”

He noted that operating the refinery could result in financial losses depending on crude oil costs and product pricing.

“If you feed crude oil worth, say, five million dollars into the old Port Harcourt refinery, what you are likely to get at the other end when you sell the petroleum products may be about 4.5 million dollars,” Osifo added.

Despite these concerns, the PENGASSAN president maintained that funds spent on the rehabilitation were not wasted, citing significant upgrades carried out at the facility.

According to him, critical components, including compressors, control rooms, and panels, were replaced and remain installed, adding that the refinery’s asset value has improved compared to its pre-rehabilitation state.

Why I Chose Nigeria Over England – Super Eagles, Bright Osayi-Samuel Reveals

Birmingham City right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel has opened up about his decision to represent Nigeria rather than England at the international level.

He said that his strong feelings for his heritage and the team spirit in the Nigerian squad made him choose to represent the Super Eagles over the The Three Lions.

Osayi-Samuel was a key player for Nigeria during their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign, and he started in six out of the team’s seven matches.

His biggest moment was in the important semifinal match against Morocco in Rabat, where he showed calm and solid defense.

Nigeria played a strong, defensive game and kept the Atlas Lions from scoring for 120 minutes, but they lost in the end after the match went to penalties.

Osayi-Samuel was born in Okija to parents from Nigeria. He was also able to play for England because he lived there for fourteen years.

He made his first competitive appearance for Nigeria in a World Cup qualifier against Guinea-Bissau while the team was coached by José Peseiro, which was also his first cap and officially marked his commitment to playing for Nigeria.

When asked if he would have played for England if the chance came up, Osayi-Samuel thought about his growing up and the culture that shaped him.

“My friends have also asked me the same question. For me, because I was so strongly influenced by my country — with my dad and mum exposing me to Nigerian culture, attending Nigerian weddings, enjoying the food and everything — playing in England means you start to play with players who represent their own countries, and you start to understand the importance of playing for England,” Osayi-Samuel said on OmaSportsTV.

“But when it comes to playing football, some people might think playing for England is better, but you don’t experience the other side of it.

“When it comes to how the team works together and the overall feeling, I don’t think you’d notice that kind of connection if you were playing for England.

“Of course, football comes first. See Fulham — the way Bassey, Alex, and Samuel laugh and have fun together comes from the team’s energy and how much they love being part of it.

“I can tell that every single day they are having a great time. When you get to the Nigeria setup, that’s exactly how it is — everyone is having fun.

“You never see any bad feelings; even the players who aren’t playing are smiling and excited about the game and training. This is one of the reasons I will always choose Nigeria first.”

Osayi-Samuel began his career as a winger, but when he switched to right-back, it created a chance that helped shape his journey with the Nigerian team.

“I don’t know if many people know this, but I started out as a winger — right wing, left wing.

“It was when I signed with Fenerbahçe that they wanted me to play as a right-back. At first, I didn’t like it, but over time I started playing more in that position and learning more about it.

“But then I got the chance to play for Nigeria — that’s when I was called up. So I thought, if this is how I get to play for Nigeria, I’ll take it because I’ve always dreamed of representing Nigeria.

“I’ve always believed that since I was young. Nigeria is a country that my mum and dad are really proud of, and I’m proud of it too. For me, getting a call-up was an honor. When I got the call asking if I wanted to play as a right-back, I was really excited.

“That’s one of the main reasons I took the role seriously, because it was a chance for me to play right-back for both my club and my country. Like I said, I’ve never looked back,”Osayi-Samuel added.

Osayi-Samuel’s decision to wear the green and white colours went beyond just football, as it was influenced by his family connections.

“It’s because my mum and dad were really dedicated to making sure I learned about Nigerian culture and the food — I’ve always had that kind of experience since I was little.

“When I was in Spain, it was the same situation. When you come to England, you begin to learn more and play for an English team, and you get more involved with the England setup. But in my mind, I always wanted to play for Nigeria. There are a lot of family friends and relatives in Nigeria — I don’t know most of them, but my mum and dad know them all.

“Every time, they say that I have a lot of family back home who are trying to support me. Tournaments like Afcon are a way for me to give something back to them. Even after the tournament, the love and messages I’ve gotten from people back home have been really amazing.

“I’ve begun meeting new people because of this tournament, and that’s something I really enjoy and love. This is one of the reasons I will always want to play for Nigeria,” he said.

The 28-year-old Osayi-Samuel has gotten 32 caps for the Super Eagles since he first played for the national team in a big friendly match against Portugal.
