•Dharmendra Krishan Deol

Legendary Bollywood actor Dharmendra Krishan Deol has passed away in Mumbai at the age of 89, marking the end of a remarkable era in Indian cinema.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the tributes on his X handle Monday, describing Dharmendra’s death as “the end of an era.”

Dharmendra, one of India’s most beloved actors, enjoyed a six-decade career spanning more than 300 films.

Best known for his role as Veeru in the 1975 classic Sholay, he was celebrated for his versatility, excelling in romance, action, comedy, and drama.

Born on December 8, 1935, in Punjab’s Ludhiana district, Dharmendra rose from modest beginnings to become one of Bollywood’s most admired stars.

After winning a nationwide talent contest, he moved to Bombay and made his film debut in 1960.

His breakthrough came with Bimal Roy’s Bandini in 1963, followed by decades of box-office hits.

Celebrity Nigerian musician, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has welcomed a baby girl with his wife, Natasha, a lawmaker in the Edo State House of Assembly.‎

In the brief announcement, Natasha expressed gratitude with the caption: “It’s a Girl”, followed by prayer emojis.

The new arrival brings the number of 2Baba’s children to eight, shared among four different women, with Natasha now becoming the fourth woman to have a child for the Afrobeats legend.

The child was delivered in an Abuja hospital last week Thursday night.‎

This delivery comes a few months after the singer and his wife, Annie Idibia, reportedly parted ways following prolonged marital issues.

Fuji music icon Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere and members of his crew were on Friday, November 21, 2025, attacked by hoodlums during a burial ceremony in Okitipupa, Ondo State.

The incident was confirmed in a statement issued by Obesere’s media manager, Ayonla Obesere Althentic, who disclosed that the assault began shortly after the musician concluded his performance and the team was about to depart.

He explained that multiple groups of touts surrounded the venue, with one group targeting him because he was holding a bag containing money.

“Despite our attempt to leave peacefully, my principal and I were aggressively confronted.

“They demanded that I hand over the bag. When I refused, a violent struggle broke out,” he said.

Ayonla recounted sustaining significant injuries, including a dislocated shoulder and several blows, some inflicted with a knife.

“While trying to get into the car, I was hit with a knife.“I cannot confirm a deep stab, but I suffered several blows and I’m in serious pain,” he added.

The attackers eventually overpowered him and fled with the bag of money.

Simultaneously, another group assaulted Obesere even after he attempted to calm the situation by giving out money.

Ayonla said that he managed to guide the musician into their vehicle to ensure his safety and access to medical attention.

He condemned the attack as “criminal and unacceptable,” noting that violence against performers and mourners at a burial ceremony should not be tolerated.

The media manager confirmed that the matter had been reported to the Okitipupa Police Division and called on authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
