reports that the clarification comes after claims by businessman Nonso Okafor, who alleged that he was persuaded in October 2024 to release $100,000 through a senior legislative aide to the lawmaker, identified as Osereme Christen Omofoma.

Okafor claimed he was assured that the funds would either be refunded or offset through the allocation of federal government contracts.

He later, through his lawyer Elochukwu Obi, submitted a petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), requesting a formal investigation into the matter.

The senator involved has already denied the allegations, describing them as false and an attempt to tarnish her reputation. However, Okafor has maintained his position, insisting that his account is accurate.

Reacting to the issue, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Yemi Adaramodu, said in an interview with Guardian that the Senate has no knowledge of such a case.

He explained that the Senate does not investigate personal transactions or private dealings of lawmakers outside their official legislative duties.

Adaramodu noted that the Senate’s responsibilities are limited to lawmaking, oversight, and representation, and it only acts on issues formally brought before it.

He further stated that allegations of misconduct remain unverified until officially presented for legislative consideration.

According to him: “We don’t have such a case before us. We are not aware of that. We don’t probe into the personal engagement of senators outside the chambers and the National Assembly.

“That’s just an allegation. We don’t have a case like this before us. We can only talk of what is before us. We are concerned about any matter that involves lawmaking, oversight and representation.”

Speaking to Brila FM, the ex-West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City and Cardiff City forward said the club’s high expectations often place attackers under heavy scrutiny and can quickly turn them into scapegoats.

He noted that while he did not single out Manchester United initially, the situation at the club makes life difficult for forwards.

Osaze referenced past experiences of strikers such as Romelu Lukaku, explaining that the demand for immediate results often leads to blame being shifted onto attacking players.

According to him, Osimhen would be better suited to top European clubs with more balanced environments. He mentioned Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid as ideal destinations for the Nigerian striker.

He said Arsenal and Barcelona offer a more stable football culture, while also jokingly referring to Arsenal as a personal favourite due to his family ties. He also described Real Madrid as a strong option for Osimhen’s style of play.

Osaze added that Osimhen’s pace, aerial ability and physical presence make him capable of thriving at the highest level, especially in systems that suit his movement and attacking instincts.

He further explained that Real Madrid’s playing style and pitch dimensions could enhance Osimhen’s strengths, particularly his runs in behind and aerial dominance.

Osimhen is currently on the books of Galatasaray, where he has impressed this season with 13 goals and five assists in 21 league appearances.

He has also contributed seven goals and three assists in 10 UEFA Champions League matches.

reports that Galatasaray recently suffered a setback in their Turkish Super Lig title push after a 4–1 defeat to Samsunspor.

reports that the clash between both artistes began after Wizkid made comments in which he compared himself to Afrobeat icon Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. This followed earlier remarks from Seun, who had cautioned fans against drawing comparisons between Wizkid and his late father.

During an appearance on the Afro Fusion podcast, Seun Kuti was asked whether the two had reconciled or moved past their differences.

He made it clear that the matter remains unsettled and, in his view, irreparable.

According to him, the situation escalated beyond repair because he believes his late father was disrespected. He stressed that once such boundaries are crossed, reconciliation is no longer possible.

Seun added that he has no further comments about Wizkid but maintained that the feud will continue indefinitely.

“My beef with Wizkid is on for life. I don’t have anything to say about him but it is on for life. You don’t say things about my dad and then it is fine. There is no coming back from that,” he said.
