- Clem Ohameze took legal action over false health rumours
Veteran Nollywood actor, Clem Ohameze, has moved against a Facebook user identified as Okwulora for spreading false claims about his health and family. The actor, who has long battled rumours about his well-being, said the latest claims were both damaging and heartbreaking.
Okwulora had alleged that Ohameze suffered a stroke and was abandoned by his sons, leaving only his daughter to care for him. The actor, however, took to social media to deny the story, stressing that he does not even have three sons and never granted any interview suggesting such.
In a tearful video, Ohameze expressed frustration over the repeated circulation of fake news about his health, which he said had caused needless distress to his loved ones. He revealed that he had already taken legal steps, noting that the matter had been reported to security agencies.
“I called my friend, who is a director in the DSS, and I have initiated a police case. This is a cybercrime,” he said. “The other time, they said I was dead. Now it is a stroke. Who did I grant the interview to?”
Ohameze vowed to protect his reputation and warned against attempts to exploit his name for cheap popularity.

- Tension Rose as Big Soso and Dede Clashed in BBNaija House
Drama unfolded in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house on Sunday after housemates Big Soso and Dede got into a heated altercation over alleged manipulation of male contestants.
The clash began in the early hours of the day when Big Soso accused Dede of “stringing along” several male housemates, including Koyin, Kola, and Jason Jae.

The exchange quickly spiraled into a shouting match, with Big Soso unleashing harsh words. She accused Dede of lacking character, calling her “dirty” and claiming she was only engaging in “ashawo behavior.”
