On the early hours of 28th March, 2023 Lucas’s family house in Nigeria was under serious attack by men of the underworlds. They shot sporadically and destroyed properties met within the premises, creating fear and trepidation before leaving.
Family members of popular US-Showbiz promoter, Lucas Ologbenla in Nigeria have raised serious concerns about the whereabouts of their son after the horrific attack on the family residence by men of the underworld in the early hours of 28th March, 2023.
With the mode of operation of these messengers of death, it was obvious they did not only come to steal but ready to take the life of Lucas as they expressly stated that in their mission.
Anthony Ologbenla, ther elder brother of Lucas took time to narrate what happened on the faithful day. He said:
“On the 27th of March 2023, around 3am, approximately 12 groups of men came over to our family residence in Lagos, Nigeria in search of my younger brother, Lucas Ologbenla who was only 40yrs old. They Knocked the doors and windows of where Lucas Ologbenla’s mother, brother and sisters lived with his elder brother; Anthony Ologbenla and children. These men started shooting and threatening us to open the door, saying ‘we know Lucas Ologbenla is inside this house and he has returned to Nigeria’. They claimed to be so sure since they haven’t seen on his Instagram page since January 2023 and that they were very sure that he was inside hiding from the public.
“Even though we were under serious panic but remained resolute not to open the doors despite the continuous threats and gun shots. As they didn’t succeed in gaining entrance, they resulted in destroying some of the expensive furniture and decorations in the compound of the house. They even broke some empty bottles of beer they found in the backyard of the building before they left.
“They stayed on the street for over 30 minutes looking for a way to break into the house, according to eyewitnesses. The other landlords in the neighbourhood had to start blowing their whistles loudly to scare them away and to call for the attention of the local security men in the area for help. After a while of unsuccessful attack, they returned to their cars and drove off. But they threatened and promised to be back for my brother, Lucas Ologbenla a.k.a Dr. Lucas. So, we quickly moved out of the house for safety of our lives in an undisclosed location.

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK-Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
