Victor Boniface Threatens Legal Action Over False Claim On FIFA Drug Ban.
Nigeria international Victor Boniface has threatened legal action after a social media user falsely claimed he received a two-year ban from FIFA for allegedly testing positive for cocaine.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The fabricated post, shared on by a user named Milli (@yk_milli), quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views before it was deleted. The false claim angered fans, who immediately questioned its credibility.
Boniface, currently on loan at Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen, responded publicly before the post was removed. Writing in Pidgin, he warned the user, “Hope you get better lawyer. For ur sake I pray you get.”
He also shared a screenshot showing he had blocked the account, adding, “You go think say na everything be play. Wetinx be ur size make tailor start work.” The messages were widely seen as a clear signal that he intends to pursue legal action.
The timing of the hoax drew further criticism, as Boniface is sidelined following knee surgery that has ruled him out for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season. The 25-year-old has previously opened up about the emotional challenges of his injury, admitting he had been “putting on a fake smile” for over a year during rehabilitation.
No credible authority—including FIFA or the Bundesliga—has confirmed the doping allegation, and no reputable outlet has reported any failed drug test involving the forward.
Over 2,000 women from three local government areas in Osun State staged a solidarity rally in Ila-Orangun in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), and House of Representatives aspirant, Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The rally, which took place as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wrapped up its Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise ahead of the 2026/2027 polls, drew participants from Boluwaduro, Ifedayo, and Ila-Orangun councils.
The women gathered first at the Ila-Orangun family residence of former Governor Chief Bisi Akande before marching through key parts of the town, including Ile-Obalumon, Oke-Ede, Oja, Ita Aperin, Ajegunle, Ile Obasolo, Ile Oloye, Ile-Aseda, and Afin.
Organised under the platform “AIO’s Women” and coordinated by Mrs Tawakalt Suleiman, the group later joined the House of Representatives hopeful at the Orangun of Ila’s palace, where the rally continued under security supervision.
Suleiman said the mobilisation was part of efforts to drum up support for President Bola Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate, and Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin ahead of the elections, adding that the group had been actively engaging voters through door-to-door campaigns and CVR mobilisation.
Adeniyi, speaking at the APC secretariat, expressed confidence in an APC victory, citing strong grassroots mobilisation by youths and women across the constituency.
He added that residents of the three councils were eager for change and would support the party in the 2026 elections, while urging continued grassroots campaigning across wards and polling units.
