A Nigerian doctor in the United States, Dr. Timileyin Oluseyi, has marked a milestone that drew waves of pride across Nigeria and the global Black community.
In a historic moment at his medical residency graduation, Oluseyi won all eight of the programme’s top awards, an unprecedented feat in the institution’s history.
Not only is he the first Black resident to sweep the awards, but it is reported that he also outperformed every one of his peers across all key metrics.
His exceptional performance, spanning clinical excellence, leadership, research, and compassionate patient care, earned him admiration from both faculty and colleagues.
In a viral video, the programme’s director and department chairman were seen honouring him with a traditional Yoruba gesture: prostrating flat on the floor.
The act, rooted in Yoruba culture as a symbol of deep respect, was reportedly the result of deliberate research by the institution’s leadership.
According to a faculty member, “The chairman said, ‘We’ve never seen anything like this. He raised the bar for this programme forever.”
The celebration took a light-hearted turn when his colleagues jokingly presented him with a white wheelbarrow to help carry all his awards home: a gesture that sparked laughter and joy during the ceremony.
Patty was in pain, deep searing pain. She was not supposed to be in this place, end up at this sorry pass. She gave Alhaji her all, the relationship her everything. Relationship? Was what they had even worth calling a relationship? Looking back from her balcony of grief, all she could see now was a one-winged flight that eventually crashed spectacularly. The pain wracking her body and soul was made worse by the feeling of foolishness. You know how you feel when you finally realized you’ve been used, had, taken advantage of and you allowed it all to happen, with your eyes wide open.
Patty wept and howled. She cursed and creamed but unless an uncommon miracle happens tomorrow, Alhaji was lost forever, her heart shattered into smithereens, her self-esteem in the mud.
What really happened?
Patty and Alhaji were an item for four solid years. Alhaji’s two wives and children knew Patty as the ‘latest sisi’ in Alhaji’s life. He’d set her up in a posh apartment in Abuja and spoilt her in every way possible. Indeed, everyone thought Patty was the third wife-in-waiting. But last Saturday, out of the blues, Alhaji took a third wife and it wasn’t Patty. No, Patty heard of the event just like the rest of us. How’s that for violence in romance, heartless blindsiding? How do you not tell a woman you’ve been with for four years that she is not good enough, not wife material? How does a woman miss all the signs that she’s not going to make wife cadre? Is it possible for a woman not to know the man she’s dating doesn’t thinks she’s nothing more than a plaything?
Okay, disappointments on the way to the altar happen all the time, as often as the wedding ceremonies themselves. But considering the sacrifices that Patty made, the things she gave up to be with and keep Alhaji, that cut was deep, very deep.
‘I almost died getting a BBL.’ BBL is Brazilian Butt Lift. Yeah, the rave cosmetic surgery girls are all doing to get bigger backsides, bigger breasts, slimmer waists. And yes, Patty had a surgery to look more sumptuous and voluptuous for Alhaji. Don’t gasp. Here’s the rest of the story, according to pained Patty.
‘Yes, Alhaji paid for the surgery but it was me under the knife, immobile and in scary pain because I had complications after the operation. He wanted me to have bigger butts and constantly made jest of me for wearing butt pads. I eventually went for the surgery. I changed virtually everything about my life for him. I resigned from my job so I could have more time for him. Whatever he wanted I did. I loved him, still do but I didn’t see this coming. How could he do this to me, take another wife, pass me over for another woman? What else didn’t I do? How did I not see this coming? He spent the weekend before the wedding with me for God’s sake!’
Mean, Alhaji was mean and cold but I still can’t find the right words to describe how Patty stayed with a man like that. You must have ice where your heart should be to do what Alhaji did, right?
However, don’t you think there should be limits to the sacrifice a woman, or even a man should make in a relationship? How much should you give up? How much of yourself should you lose to please your partner? Should you even lose yourself at all? Yours sincerely can’t even get a tattoo to impress a man because from videos that I’ve watched, it is not a painless process and you can’t remove a tattoo painlessly. My take is: do not do what you cannot undo. Do not give what you can’t take back.
More and more women are making foolish sacrifices in relationships that are not guaranteed to lead to happy endings. And I ask, when you take out one of your ribs to achieve a slimmer waist, are you doing it for yourself or to please a man? Have you thought seriously about what the man you are getting cosmetic surgery to please thinks of you? A lot of men encourage their side chicks to do things they’d never ask their wives or daughters to do. If a man thinks your butt lift or tummy tuck will create medical or health challenges for you later in life, does he not reserve the right to ease out of your life so he doesn’t get sucked into avoidable future medical expenses? If you are vain enough to go beyond henna to please a man’s physical need, be brave enough to own the consequences.
I still do not understand why women do dumb things to keep men interested. Is it that we are just plain dumb or shamelessly desperate? Why do we bleach our skin, risk our kidneys and livers just so men can look in our direction? Is it that we skipped biology classes when we were being taught Excretion in secondary school or we just don’t care whether we live or die? You see women who sell roasted corn by the roadside bleaching until they turn dirty pink right before your eyes and I wonder if they do it for their husbands or concubines. A husband who can’t set you up in a shop is not the one you should risk or give up your skin or kidney for. The men are at this point going to scream “Not all men will be rich”. Fine, and I scream right back, “No woman should give up her kidney for any man, poor or rich”. But do my sisters listen? Do they learn? Do they care what happens to them beyond the few naira notes thrown at them for a few years men are interested?
He wants you to bleach or tone or you decide to ‘whiten’ your skin because you think a fair skin will keep him interested, ask yourself for how long will you bleach and for how long will he be interested? A new phone, a few ‘aso-ebi’ and ‘woroworo’ jewelry? Maybe he even pays your rent for a year or two. Is that why you are assaulting your skin and kidney? A session of dialysis per session cost about N30,000 and kidney transplant can cost as high as N20 million. That is what you are risking for a foolish phone and cheap rent? Lady, if you have the sense God gave a goose, you will reassess your life, that relationship and draw up a table of pros and cons of what you are doing to yourself just so one man will not look at another woman. His mother did not have only you in mind when she took him for circumcision, so ‘borrow yourself some brain’ as they say on the streets.
You may even get lucky and never get to the road junction of compromised kidneys but have you not seen women whose skin look like rotting shaki (tripe)? Today is Saturday. Every woman’s damaged skin will be covered with layers and layers of makeup. Wait till Tuesday when they are not covered in ‘foundations’ ‘concealers’ and bronzer and see gbege. Years and years of chemically processed skin on display. Burnt skin all over the place. Burnt face, peeling back of the neck, discoloured faces and elbows that make you want to puke. Why do we do these things to ourselves? The men eventually leave, look further afield or generally lose interest eventually, don’t they?
And the heartbreaking part? Men hardly ever marry or make life-long commitment or have children with dumb women who make these desperate half-thought-out or outright have-brained sacrifices. You don’t agree? Send me a list of Nigerians you know who have proposed to or married their girlfriends who got Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)? Why are the men not all over these ‘new models’ with flowers, rings and marriage proposals? Does it mean BBL and bleaching are strictly for runs girls, aristo babes and hook-up business? Ah, I do not want to even think that the answer is yes. It will be a sad day indeed if it turns out that women are going under the knife, risking their lives just to be playthings, side-chicks? Aluu, God forbid. Let me console myself with the few men who have appreciated the BBL investments of our girls and have proposed. I can’t imagine a city filled with busty bumper chicks who are all single because the young men can’t take them home to mama, and the married rich guys think they are good only as snacks.
The controversial and meteoric rise of Bukola Kuti, the Principal Staff Officer (PSO 3) to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has peeled back a sordid layer of scandal, favouritism, and internal warfare inside Nigeria’s highest policing institution.
SaharaReporters earlier on Friday reported that there is a storm of controversy in the Nigeria Police Force over the preferential promotion of Kuti, who is romantically involved with the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, amid allegations of favouritism in the Force.
SaharaReporters learnt on Saturday that there have been clashes between Kuti and other female police officers in the IGP office, whom she accused of having amorous affairs with the police boss and fought in a bid to dominate and silence them.
Sources told SaharaReporters that her professional ascent has little to do with competence or merit. Rather, Kuti’s influence allegedly stems from her intimate relationship with the IGP, a fact widely known and whispered across police formations.
SaharaReporters was told by competent sources that within the corridors of Louis Edet House, especially the IGP’s 7th floor office, Kuti is not merely the PSO. She is the gatekeeper, the enforcer, and according to internal sources — the queen of the harem.
Officers say she routinely targeted and undermined female colleagues she suspected of having near or remote affairs with the IGP.
One of the top officers familiar with the scandal told SaharaReporters on Saturday, “Her most infamous turf war was with a Superintendent of Police (then DSP), one Victoria David, the IGP’s official secretary.
“Victoria, a northerner celebrated for her beauty, had also become the subject of gossip and surveillance after Force PRO, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, posted a photo of her on Instagram in 2023, referring to her as the “IGP’s pretty secretary,” the source revealed.
The Force PRO Adejobi had posted, “We have beautiful and intelligent ones in the force. This is DSP David Victoria, secretary to the IGP. Happy weekend. Ire o.”
SaharaReporters learnt that the post sparked outrage online, with commenters accusing Victoria of flaunting luxury watches and designer accessories that far exceeded her official earnings.
SaharaReporters gathered that Adejobi’s post made several Nigerians to question the female officer’s lavish lifestyle.
Others even mocked her complexion, accusing her of bleaching.
“Rather than defending his secretary from the public scrutiny, IGP Egbetokun stood back. Worse still, he allowed the matter to escalate,” another top source told SaharaReporters.
“Kuti, alongside another close female ally, Yemisi, allegedly led a quiet, ruthless campaign to have Victoria ousted from the 7th floor. They succeeded as Victoria was abruptly removed from her position.”
SaharaReporters learnt that when she (Victoria) confronted the IGP about her removal, Egbetokun reportedly shrugged and told her, “There’s nothing I can do.” He also warned her never to speak to journalists or bloggers about her experience.
Meanwhile, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer and a known ally of Kuti, is mired in controversies of his own.
Multiple petitions against Adejobi allege sexual harassment of female officers—petitions that have either been buried or ignored by the same leadership promoting impunity.
Last week, Adejobi himself was also elevated to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police, alongside 37 others.
However, the promotion remains largely unannounced.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the Police Service Commission is reluctant to publish the full list due to widespread allegations of nepotism—particularly that 30 of the 38 officers promoted are of Yoruba descent.
This is the state of affairs inside Nigeria’s Police Force leadership a toxic mix of sexual politics, tribal favoritism, and unchecked power.
The IGP’s office, once expected to be a sanctuary of integrity and leadership, has become a theatre of petty rivalries, manipulation, and moral collapse.
SaharaReporters on Friday reported that multiple sources within the force confirmed that Kuti, who currently serves as PSO 3 (Principal Staff Officer) to the IGP, had risen to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), just 10 years after joining the force.
Insiders have described this as highly irregular and far ahead of her contemporaries, many of whom remain at the Superintendent of Police (SP) level.
On Wednesday, SaharaReporters reported that the Police Service Commission (PSC) had approved the special promotion of 37 senior police officers handpicked by Egbetokun, but internal uproar within the force had stalled the public announcement of the list, SaharaReporters learnt.
SaharaReporters gathered that the promotions, largely considered controversial, have sparked ethnic and institutional tensions within the Nigeria Police Force.
What has also sparked particular outrage is that Kuti reportedly spent only six months as a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) before receiving the controversial promotion to ACP — a career trajectory seen by many within the force as a product of her close personal ties to the IGP rather than merit or seniority.
In January, Kuti was among the police officers decorated with new ranks by IGP Egbetokun during a ceremony held at the Louis Edet House, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Sources further revealed that Bukola Kuti is one of two female officers handling the IGP’s personal and domestic affairs.
The second officer, identified only as Yemisi, holds the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and is said to accompany the IGP on official and personal trips frequently.
Yemisi, who reportedly began her service as Egbetokun’s orderly, allegedly relocated to Abuja after he was appointed Acting Inspector General of Police in June 2023 by President Bola Tinubu, replacing former IGP Usman Alkali Baba.
“Kuti’s mates are police superintendents. She had only spent six months in the CSP rank before she was promoted to ACP,” one of the sources said.
“She handles IGP domestic affairs in addition to another lady called Yemisi, who constantly travels with the IGP. Yemisi is also an ASP.”
Despite her elevated rank, Bukola Kuti is reportedly not involved in substantive police work. Instead, she is said to operate primarily as a contractor responsible for providing catering services within the police establishment.
“This woman doesn’t even do real police work,” said one source. “She handles domestic duties and contracts, but keeps rising above others who actually work. She is responsible for cooking as a contractor for police work.”
Her promotion has left many officers demoralised, especially those who joined the force around the same time but remain in lower positions despite years of service and experience.
According to insiders, the police leadership has refrained from making her latest promotion public due to the sensitivity of the matter and fears of backlash over ethnic imbalance in recent special promotions under IGP Egbetokun’s tenure.
In a related development, Asuquo, another senior staff officer believed to have been responsible for managing the IGP’s official workload, was removed in connection with the recent age falsification scandal that rocked the force.
His removal cleared the way for Kuti’s promotion and expanded influence.
SaharaReporters had earlier reported that out of the 37 officers promoted under “special consideration,” 30 were allegedly of Yoruba origin — fuelling growing concerns that IGP Egbetokun is presiding over a regionally biased or “provincial” police leadership.
The development has sparked discontent across various police commands, particularly among officers who believe they were overlooked for promotion despite being qualified, allegedly due to ethnic considerations.
According to sources, suggestions had been made to release the list in batches to avoid backlash, but pressure was mounting on the PSC to go ahead and publish the entire list despite the ongoing internal discontent.
“There have been suggestions to release the list in batches to ease tensions within the police force, particularly among officers who were overlooked for promotion due to ethnic bias,” a source said.
Several of the promoted officers are said to be close associates of the IGP, either currently working with him on the 7th floor of the Force Headquarters in Abuja or longstanding allies from his previous postings.
Sani Shinkafi, a security expert, has said that the Nigerian government thwarted the capture of a bandit leader, Bello Turji, by the Civilian Joint Security Task Force (CJTF) in Zamfara State, Nigeria’s north-west.
Mr Shinkafi, a former chairperson of the Committee on Security and Prosecution of Armed Bandits in Zamfara, spoke when he appeared as a guest on Channels TV’s The Morning Brief on Thursday.
Banditry in Zamfara State
Like Sokoto State in the North-west, Zamfara State has been plagued by a series of terrorist attacks by hoodlums locally referred to as bandits.
Hundreds of people have been killed and millions displaced in the attacks.
The bandits are often led by Mr Turji who has been terrorising the North-western states of Zamfara and Sokoto, imposing levies on helpless residents and killing many of them.
In response, the Zamfara State Government recruited hundreds of persons into the CJTF to complement the efforts of conventional security operatives to fight banditry in the state.
The government, in January 2024, set up the Community Protection Guards (CPG), also known as Askarawa to help in the fight against banditry in the state.
‘How Nigerian govt foiled attack on Bello Turji’
Mr Shinkafi, during the TV programme, said the Nigerian government halted an attack which would have resulted in the capture of the bandit leader and the killing of his foot soldiers.
The security expert, who hails from Zamfara State, said, during an operation, some village chiefs had deployed both CJTF and CPG operatives to a forest in Shinkafi Local Government Area of the state to battle Mr Turji and his foot soldiers.
“As the fight continued, they were about to capture (Bello) Turji. Many of his foot soldiers were killed in hundreds.
“But the federal government (of Nigeria) halted the fight (against Turji). And told them (CJTF and CPG) to go back and settle at the Shinkafi (LGA) and that they (federal government) were going to use dialogue to settle with Bello Turji,” he narrated.
“So if the government had allowed this civilian JTF to continue advancing to the bandits camp, I assure you Bello Turji could have been a history by now.”
Mr Shinkafi recalled that Mr Turji later rejected the dialogue spearheaded by some community and religious leaders, insisting that he would not be part of the dialogue since Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara was not involved.
He did not, however, mention when the incident happened. But there are indications it happened between late 2024 and early 2025.
Meanwhile, Governor Lawal has consistently maintained that he would not negotiate with bandits.
Why CJTF operatives are struggling to defeat banditry
Mr Shinkafi said the CJTF operatives have been struggling to defeat bandits in Zamfara because there was no operational support from conventional security operatives.
He said there was a time the civilian JTF killed some of the bandits and advanced to attack Mr Turji but received no support.
“A lot of victories had been made because some of these (Turji’s) lieutenants were killed by these civilian JTF. And when these civilian JTF went to fight with Bello Turji, the military and other security agencies backed out (from the operation),” he said.
“And there was no operational support.”
He also said defeating Mr Turji has been difficult because, unlike the bandits, the operatives have poor knowledge of the state’s terrain.
“The terrain (to the bandits hideout) is not motorable. It’s very deplorable. And these bandits know this terrain more than the civilian JTF because the civilian JTF (operatives) are not indigenes of the state,” he said.
Presidency silent
When contacted on Thursday, Bayo Onanuga, the spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, referred a PREMIUM TIMES reporter to Usman Zakari, a media aide to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Mr Zakari did not respond to several calls and a text message seeking his comments, more than a day after.

The Niger State Judicial Service Commission has dismissed two judges and a Senior Registrar For offences bordering on gross misconduct.
A statement made available to the news media by the Secretary of the Commission, Hauwa Kulu Isah, revealed that the stringent measures were taken to uphold the integrity and accountability of its state judicial officers and other staff .
The decision was reportedly taken after thorough deliberations by the Members of the Commission on the reports of the Investigation Committees constituted by the Commission to investigate the petitions on allegations of various misconducts and abuse of judicial power against the staff in question.
Amongst the key decisions, Chief Magistrate Isaac Yisa of Chief Magistrate Court Kontagora was dismissed from service with immediate effect alongside the Court Registrar Muhammad Alhaji Ahmed.
Their dismissal stems from Serious Misconduct, which includes receipt of a gratification from a litigant to grant bail, refusal, granting bail without due regards to the laid down procedure, lack of proper record of proceedings among others.
The Registrar, Muhammad Alhaji Ahmad, was also found to have requested and received the sum of Ten Thousand Naira through his account as gratification before filling a bail bond and production warrant to release a litigant from detention.
Similarly, the Commission equally dismissed from service Hon. Fatihu Hassan, a judge of Upper Sharia Court, Wushishi, for receiving the sum of Eight Hundred Thousand Naira in a land dispute matter before him and failure to determine the matter between the parties.
The statement added that the dismissed staff’s actions were found to be in contravention of various sections of the Niger State Judicial Service Regulations 2018 and consequently dismissed the affected staff under Section 61 of the Regulations.
Furthermore the Commission compulsorily retired from service Ramatu Suleiman, the Registrar of Sharia Court Bida for conflicts of interest and complexities in a matter of administration of the estate of late Alhaji Hussaini Babbana Katcha.
She is found to have been engaged in another employment as (RIFAN CORDINATOR) while in the services of Niger state Judiciary, acts that contravenes section 58 (1) V and liable for dismissal under Section 61 of Commission’s Regulations 2018.
Earlier the Commission during its 151″ Meeting held on the 1 of July 2025 equally sanctioned Sadiq Samaila of Magistrate Court 2 Kontagora, Hon. Idris Alhaji Idris of Sharia Court Lapai, a Senior Registrar and a court clerk to different forms of disciplinary action having been found culpable by the investigation Committee that investigated the petitions against them.
A Texas cop has been fired after he reportedly told his co-workers they were ‘diversity hires’ and mocked an officer for having undergone a C-section birth.
Officer Emilio De La Rosa was given an indefinite suspension on June 23 after making crass comments to his colleagues and undermining his superior officer during a single shift.
In February, De La Rosa was reportedly overheard saying, ‘two C-sections but never gave birth’.
A female officer said the comment was ‘very personal’ because De La Rosa insinuated that ‘birth only counts when it is a natural delivery,’ records obtained by KSAT stated.
Enock Maku, the Senior Special Assistant on Information and Protocol to the Chief Judge of Nasarawa State, has been abducted by unknown gunmen in the Agyaragu area of Lafia Local Government Area in the late hours of Wednesday, throwing the community into panic.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Ramhan Nansel, while confirming the incident to newsmen, said security operatives responded swiftly and engaged the abductors in a confrontation that led to the rescue of two individuals.
Maku, however, remains in captivity.
“The command has launched a full-scale investigation and manhunt to ensure the safe return of Mr. Maku,” Nansel said, adding that efforts are ongoing to track down the perpetrators.
The PPRO appealed to residents to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement, assuring them that every effort is being made to secure Maku’s release unharmed.
A yet-to-be-identified man has been arrested by the police in Lagos State for allegedly beating his wife four days after she welcomed their baby.
The physical assault was said to have occurred in front of the victim’s mother, who came to assist her daughter after the delivery of her grandchild.
Actress Omosalewa Fafowora shared the video showing the moment the police arrived at their home to arrest the alleged abuser.
One of the police officers stated that the wife is currently in the hospital on oxygen. The video also showed an elderly woman holding the newborn baby.
Fafowora mentioned that the alleged abuser beat his wife in front of her mother until she passed out and was rushed to the hospital, where she is battling for her life.
Reacting to her post, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency confirmed the incident and said the suspect has been arrested.
Two of five armed robbers who disrupted a church service in Klipfontein, eMalahleni, South Africa, on Wednesday evening have been arrested by police on charges of robbery and kidnapping.
The incident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. when the suspects stormed into the church, holding nine congregants, including the pastor and church elders, at gunpoint.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Donald Mdhluli said the victims were forced to lie down and were restrained with cable ties. The robbers searched them and stole personal items, including cell phones, wallets containing bank cards, laptops, and a church-owned computer screen. They also demanded car keys and PIN codes to the stolen phones.
The victims were then bundled into three of their own vehicles and driven to a remote bush area. According to Mdhluli, two suspects remained with the victims while the others left and later returned to collect their accomplices. Family members reported the incident, prompting a joint response from police and Tracker Connect.
Law enforcement located the victims in a bushy area in Kromdraai. One person sustained minor injuries and was treated by medical personnel. Police recovered three stolen vehicles: a Mercedes-Benz found in Vosman with a 21-year-old suspect, a VW Polo abandoned in the same area, and an Isuzu KB bakkie recovered in Silverton, Gauteng, where a 27-year-old male suspect was arrested. Both suspects are expected to appear in court soon, while efforts to track the remaining three suspects continue.
In a separate case, Mpumalanga police also arrested a suspect following the hijacking of a doctor in Barberton late Tuesday night. The doctor was accosted by two armed men around 11:45 p.m. while driving home after work. The suspects made off with his white Mahindra bakkie.
The Mbombela Flying Squad tracked the stolen vehicle on the N4 highway heading toward Mbombela. A high-speed chase ensued, ending when the suspect driving the vehicle lost control and veered off the road near the Sudwala Caves. While one suspect escaped, the driver was arrested at the scene.
Police recovered a 9mm pistol with its serial number removed, ammunition, and a military-grade signal jamming device with 16 antennas.
The search for the remaining suspects in both cases is ongoing. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or report via the MySAPS app.
