Court Sheriffs Storm P-Square's Home to Seize Property Following Court Order

 Lagos High court Sheriffs stormed the music duo's home at about 5.30am this morning with a court order to seize property following a judgement against them.

 When the security men at P-Square's home refused them entry, saying the brothers were not home, they allegedly forced their way in injuring one security guard(pictured below).

 And here's why they came for the brothers...

Many years ago...about 8/9 years ago, there was a show in Benin that they were supposed to perform in. According to a sources, after they were paid N1million, the brothers arrived Benin for the show only to be told that the show had been postponed till the next day. P-Square refused to stay till the next day and returned to Lagos. The organizer of the show demanded for his money back and when he didn't get it, took the case to court. He got a court judgement and promptly moved to Lagos.

The source said the case had been in court all this while but the brother's weren't really aware of it as no one represented them. It looks like judgement may have been passed in absentia, which brought the court Sheriffs to their home today. They tried to tow a vehicle after showing the papers brought from the court but no one would allow them take any car away.

"Face Your Issue, You Were Not Sacked For Being Igbo!" - Freeze Blasts Onyeka Onwenu

 Cool FM On-Air Personality, OAP, Freeze has advised Onyeka Onwenu to stop inciting inter-ethnic disaffection with her recent claims.

 The renowned singer and actress, had in a statement released yesterday in reaction to her sack from a federal appointment, insinuated that it was as a result of her tribal background.

Onwenu had said, “I was abused, targeted and maltreated for being an Igbo woman."

Freeze reacted to this on his Instagram page @daddyfreeze by requesting the musician-cum-politician to stop creating unnecessary tension in an already volatile situation, as such utterance will not help matters.

Freeze said, “Dear Madam, those statements like “Buhari sacked me because I am Igbo” would only serve to fuel more hatred and animosity.

“You were not sacked because you are Igbo, stop creating unnecessary tension in an already volatile situation you are not helping matters.

“If Nigeria goes to war, poor, innocent and helpless people would suffer. Syria has a population of 25 million people, far less than LAGOS state alone yet the world can’t handle its refuge crisis. I shudder to imagine our own.

“Sit at home and face your issue without dragging an innocent nation into your personal battle.

“How long did you really expect to eat under 2 different regimes and what really did you have to offer? – just a thought.
