Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command have arrested one Emmanuel Odiniya, father of former Big Brother Naija housemate, Ilebaye, over suspected domestic violence.

DAILY POST earlier reported how reality TV star cried out for help during an Instagram Livestream on Friday night.

A viral video clip captured moments where the father was brutally assaulting the celebrity, raising concerns amongst Nigerians.

Responding to the concerns, the Police Public Relations Officer of the FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement on Saturday said the lady was immediately rescued and taken to hospital after the alarm.

“At about 12:00 a.m., the FCT Police Command responded to a distress call from Royal Anchor Estate, Wuye, Abuja, reporting an ongoing physical assault on Ms. Ilebaye Odiniya Emmanuel by her father, Hon. Emmanuel Odiniya.

“Following the report, a patrol team from Wuye Division, supported by operatives of the Department of Operations, FCT Police Command, was immediately deployed to the scene. The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer was also present to monitor the operation.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered that the gate to the residence was locked. After several attempts, access was gained into the compound at about 2:30 a.m. Ms. Ilebaye Odiniya, who was found with visible bruises, was rescued alongside her brothers and rushed to NNPC Hospital, Abuja, where she received medical attention.

“Hon. Emmanuel Odiniya is currently in police custody, while a thorough investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident,” the police spokesperson said in a statement.

Nollywood couple, actress Adebimpe Oyebade and actor Lateef Adedimeji, have disowned a viral triplets’ photo.

This is coming a week after the couple announced the arrival of their triplets after five years of waiting.

Shortly after the naming ceremony on Thursday, pictures of the couple carrying the triplets surfaced on social media.

Reacting to the circulated photos in an Instagram post on Friday, Bimpe Oyebade tagged the viral pictures as AI-generated, noting that “all the babies pictures flying around aren’t our babies, please.”

She further promised to share photos of their triplets at the appropriate time. “We’ll share @etawithlove pictures soon.”

Also appreciating the public for their love and support, Lateef Adedimeji wrote on X, “Please note that the AI-generated baby photos circulating right now are not ours. Thank you for understanding.”
