Police Officers Who Brutalized Me Have Been Found – BBNaija’s Adekunle Gives Update

Reality star, Adekunle Olopade has given an update on his police case.
According to him, the officers who brutalized him have been found and will face disciplinary action.
Recall that the media personality had earlier claimed that he was assaulted by the Nigerian Police.
According to him, the security personnel unjustly harassed him after taking a night drive in his mother’s car
However, speaking via his 𝕏 account, Adekunle confirmed that the officers involved in the case have been prosecuted.
“In the last few days, the only news you’ve heard from me has been difficult, but at this very moment, I would like to share some good news with you. I want to use this opportunity to thank the Lagos State Police Command Complaint Response Unit for their prompt attention to this matter.
 
“From reaching out, swinging into action the moment the news broke, and following up to make sure everything was okay. I have been in talks with the ACP in charge of the Area J Command, Elemoro, Ibeju Lekki, providing her with all the details necessary with hopes that the officers at fault would be found and brought to book,” he stated.
Adekunle also expressed his excitement about the development, urging citizens not to succumb to bullying from those in authority.
He urged Nigerians to report cases of harassment and police brutality. Adekunle also thanked the ACP, Oluyemisi Ojo, for taking up the case and ensuring justice was served.
“I am happy to let you know that I just left the Elemoro Police Station, and thanks to the effort and investigation of ACP Oluyemisi Ojo, the police officers were found, and disciplinary action has been taken against them.
 
“Justice has been served! I can’t begin to describe how much of a heavy burden and emotional weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The mere fact that justice can be served at a time where public trust for the police is very low is truly encouraging.
 
“For everyone who has ever been treated badly at the hands of police officers, please make sure you report the case. Get as much evidence as you can and take the matter up.
 
“The Lagos State Complaint Response Unit (on Instagram) works, and their job is to ensure the safety of the citizens while also sanitizing the system of the bad officers,” he added.

BBNaija: Many Reality Stars Suffer After Show – Ex-Housemate Adekunle Says

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Adekunle Olapade, has voiced concern over the growing trend of ex-housemates becoming financially stranded after leaving the reality show.

He pointed out that despite Big Brother Naija being the biggest reality TV show in Africa, “there’s almost no success path after the show.”

This, he noted, has led to many former Big Brother Naija participants struggling financially.

Adekunle claimed that the ugly trend was due to Nigeria’s lack of a reality TV culture.

On his handle, he wrote, “Let me double down and say that BBN is the biggest reality tv show in Africa, but somehow, Nigeria does not have a Reality TV culture – there’s almost no certain success path after the show and most of the reality stars suffer for this.”

His post elicited mixed reactions.

Responding to a fan who opined that reality stars are supposed to return to their primary jobs at the end of the show, Adekunle explained that some participants are jobless and hoped to find new fortune on the show.

“A lot of the cast didn’t have 9-5s to begin with – which is why they tried to change their story by going on the show. Only a few had jobs/businesses before they went on the show. But yes, going back if things didn’t work out doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” he wrote.

Recall that activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju recently raised a similar concern, questioning if the winners of Big Brother Naija reality show are actually handed the prizes.

He claimed that a lot of the winners became poorer after the show.

BBNaija: Housemates See Each Other N*ked – Ex-Contestant Adekunle Reveals

Former Big Brother Naija star, Adekunle Olapade, has disclosed that housemates on the reality show frequently see one another n*ked.

He made the claim while reacting to controversies trailing intimate videos involving Koyin and Isabella, as well as Jason Jae and Sultana.

Adekunle insinuated that some housemates were attracted to their colleagues of the opposite sex after seeing them nude.

“A lot of people who watch Big Brother Naija reality show are very hypocritical. Secondly, there is actually nothing wrong with two people who like each deciding to get intimate.

“All the housemates see each other n*ked, in case you don’t know. So, you cannot be in a house with somebody that you see without clothes almost everyday and not be attracted to the person. It won’t work,” Adekunle stated in a podcast interview with Pulse.

Adekunle Olapade featured in the Big Brother Naija reality show during the ‘Level Up’ season in 2022 and the All Stars season in 2023.

The Hypocrisy Is Laughable – Ex-BBNaija Star, Adekunle Defends Housemates Amid Backlash Over Intimate Moments

Former Big Brother Naija star Adekunle Olopade has defended Season 10 housemates amid widespread backlash over several intimate moments on the show.

In a post shared via X on Sunday, Adekunle maintained that the housemates are consenting adults who have not committed any wrongdoing by being physically attracted to each other.

He emphasized that the show is rated 18, urging viewers to keep this context in mind before passing judgment.

His comments followed viral clips that have circulated among viewers, where housemates Koyin and Isabella were seen after the Saturday night party in a compromising position under the duvet, suggesting a sexual intimacy.

Recall that Jason Jae and Sultana also sparked widespread backlash after footage showed Sultana’s head moving under a duvet after the Friday night wager task presentation, suggesting an oral intimacy.

Reacting to the criticism, Adekunle condemned what he described as “image shaming” and reputation damage directed at the housemates, describing it as hypocritical and damaging to the essence of the reality show.

The ex-BBNaija housemate further argued that many critics likely engage in similar or worse behavior privately, adding that the backlash reflects double standards from the public.

“So, because consenting adults ON A RATED 18 show who are clearly attracted to each other get intimate, that’s why you guys are coming up with all these think pieces? The hypocrisy I’ve seen this week alone is laughable.

“What do you guys really think happens when adults are left together in a confined space? Please let’s be real.

“The gag in all of this is, the people who are pointing fingers and quick to accusations actually do much worse, with multiple people infact,” he wrote.

BBNaija: Focus On Entertainment Not Just Romance – Adekunle Urges Fans

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Adekunle has voiced his frustration over the way fans are engaging with the current season of the reality show.

According to him, the excessive focus on relationships, potential ships, and drama is overshadowing the entertainment value of the program.

According to Adekunle, fans should shift their attention to appreciating the diverse personalities and talents of the housemates.

He notes that with 26 contestants in the house, more than half of whom are incredibly entertaining, there’s a wealth of content to enjoy beyond romantic storylines.

Adekunle also reminds fans that everything happening in the house is part of a game, where contestants are playing roles to achieve their goals and by fixating on a handful of housemates and their relationships, fans are diluting the potential of the season.

Adekunle’s request fans to enjoy the show in its entirety, taking in the various curated events, like the pool party and wager presentation, which are designed to enhance the viewer’s experience.

He wrote on X: “You guys aren’t enjoying this show and it sucks. I haven’t watched the show since Wednesday, and I hoped to get updates on the TL. But instead, it’s talk about alleged ships, potential ships and the drama within the triangles.

“There are 26 people in that house and more than half of them are incredibly entertaining. THIS IS AN ENTERTAINMENT SHOW, not a show about love. I’m genuinely asking now, because I don’t get it. What exactly is the entertaining value in

-boy likes girl, boy goes after girl.

-girl likes the attention, girl plays hard to get.

-boy talks to other girls, girl talks to other boys. Yes, it’s a storyline, but come on guys !

“There has been 9 seasons of the show and only a handful of ships have been successful afterwards. Year in, year out you guys always do this. FOCUS ON SHIPS – especially the ones that are unlikely to sail, WHY?

“Remember that everyone in that house is playing a game. Some people get in there knowing exactly what they want to do. Others figure it out while they’re in there, while others have to constantly remind themselves where they are and that – it’s all still a game.

“There was a pool party, a wager presentation and other things this week. These things are curated for the viewers experience. Allow yourselves to be entertained by EVERYTHING, not just the drama. Don’t make these housemates come out and pretend to be something they’re not just because they want to satisfy the fans.

“This season has the potential to be one of the best, but we’ll dilute it if we focus on just a handful of the housemates. Let’s enjoy the SHOW. Let’s focus on ENTERTAINMENT!”

My Romance With Venita Was Not Strategy – BBNaija Star, Adekunle Says

Adekunle Olopade, the Big Brother Naija All Stars finalist, has said his relationship with Venita Akpofure was not a strategy to get votes.

Speaking in a recent interview with Miracle OP, Adekunle said he was also a finalist in the ‘Level Up’ season last year despite not being in any relationship.

He said Venita’s intelligence was what attracted him to her.

“I don’t think the both of us navigated around ourselves as a way of strategy. Because if you noticed, we were always in the room. We kind of always took ourselves away from everything happening in the House. So, I don’t think at the back of my mind that would look like a strategy.

“We were just comfortable with ourselves. Because there was another madness going on in the House. We were like, no, this is not going to touch us,” he explained.

“Bless God that we found ourselves. But yeah, real life situations let’s see what happens as time goes on,” Adekunle added.
