Both an Israeli and an American official have confirmed that Iran has attacked Israel with a significant aerial strike. According to both officials, the attack on Saturday afternoon may have involved missiles in addition to the number of drones that were involved.

The long-anticipated attack comes after Israel last week killed a senior officer in Iran’s embassy in Damascus. U.S. and Israeli officials have been bracing for a retaliatory strike by Tehran.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has confirmed that drones launched from Iran are heading toward Israel.

He said the Israeli Air Force is tracking the drones, while noting that they will take several hours to reach the country.

Hagari warned that there will be GPS disruptions as the military works to intercept the drones.

State-linked media in Iran is reporting that a second wave of drones has been launched by the Islamic Republic at Israel.

Sirens will only sound if the drones enter Israeli airspace, at the relevant locations, Hagari said, adding that the IDF will work to intercept the targets as early as possible.

Israel's Channel 12 says the US was the first to identify the launch and immediately notified Israel.

Israel's official Persian X account quoted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying, "In recent years, especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack by Iran.

Our defense systems are ready, we are prepared for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. Israel is strong, the Israeli army is strong, and the people of Israel are strong." There is no immediate statement from the IDF on news about the reported attack.

Ilesa Accident: Governor Adeleke Approves Expansion of Ilbodi-Ilesa Road, Creation of Trailer Park.

Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to rehabilitate and widen the Ibodi-Ilesa road at Ilesa to forestall incessant accidents that have claimed lives in recent times.

The State Governor has also directed the Commissioner for Transportation to consider the creation of a trailer park in the area to stop multiple parking of trailers that has endangered lives of road users alongside the area.

Governor Adeleke issued the above directives while receiving the report of a Committee he set up after the unfortunate accident that claimed the life of a female staff of the University of Ilesa.

While condoling the family of the victim again, Mr Governor endorsed the compensation package already agreed between the owner of the truck and the family of the deceased even as he regretted that no amount of monetary compensation can replace the loss of a precious life.

While also approving creation of regulations to govern trucking activities along the said road, the State Governor warned companies operating in the state to be mindful of the question of safety and security of their host communities.

“We are putting stiff regulations in place to prevent recurrence of such sad incidents in the future. The Ministry of Works will work on expanding the road and the Ministry of Transportation will develop a trailer park.

“Parking of trailers on that narrow road is hereby prohibited. Speed limit should also be enforced with immediate effect”, Mr Governor so further directed.

Submitting his report earlier, the Committee Chairman who is also the Commissioner for Transportation, Hon Sesan Oyedele narrated the visitation of the Committee members to the families of the deceased, the affected company and the management of the University of Ilesa.

“We commiserated with the family and negotiated with the grieving family. We concluded a settlement under very difficult conditions. We conveyed Your Excellency's heartfelt sympathy to the affected family”, the Commissioner told Mr Governor.

Future and Metro Boomin finally dropped their highly anticipated album We Don’t Trust You three weeks ago and of course, the Kendrick Lamar collaboration on there has been the talk of social media ever since.

The album overall seemed to get some love from fans regardless though and later tonight, the pair are back with another collection of songs as promised in their initial announcement.

With the album about three and a half hours away, the pair have unveiled the official track list for the LP. There are 18 tracks on it and no features are listed, but of course they could be a surprise like last time. Check it out below.

A lot of fans were anticipating a diss track from Drake or another jab at him on Future and Metro Boomin's new album We Still Don't Trust You, so they were thrilled when this week's New Music Friday drops happened around an hour ago.

Of those, the latter has happened. Track six on the second half of the new LP, "Show of Hands," contains A$AP Rocky, even though the features on the record are not yet recognized.

It's impossible to dispute the belief held by some that many of his remarks are directed at Drake.

He raps:

“N****s in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or something?
I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son
Still don’t trust you, it’s always us, never them
Heard you dropped your latest s**t
Funny how it just came and went”

Fans think he’s talking about some of Drake’s recent bars aimed at himself and Rihanna on For All The Dogs. Do you think Rocky will get some bars in the supposed Drake diss track?

Listen to the song below.

The Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, commonly known as Bobrisky, to six months in prison without the possibility of fines.
 
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, April 12, 2024, sentenced Idris Okuneye, a.k.a Bobrisky, to six months imprisonment over mutilation of the Naira notes.
 
He was arraigned on Friday, April 5, 2024 on a four-count charge bordering on mutilation of the Naira notes to the tune of N490, 000, 00 (Four Hundred and Ninety Thousand Naira).
 
Count one reads: “That you, OKUNEYE IDRIS OLANREWAJU, on the 24th day of March, 2024, at Imax Circle Mal, Jakande, Lekki, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, whilst dancing during a social event, tampered with the total sum of N400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Naira) notes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying same and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.”
 
Another count reads: “That you, OKUNEYE IDRIS OLANREWAJU, between July and August, 2023 at Aja Junction, Ikorodu, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, whilst dancing during a social event, tampered with the sum N50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Naira) issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying same and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.”
 
He pleaded “guilty” to the charges when they were read to him.
 
At the last sitting, the prosecution counsel, S.I. Sulaiman, urged the court to allow the investigating officer, ASE I Bolaji Temitope Aje, to give a brief review of the facts against him.
 
Aje narrated to the court that the EFCC received intelligence on some individuals, who are in the habit of mutilating and spraying the Naira notes at social parties and event centres in Lagos.
 
 According to him, “Based on intelligence, the EFCC set up the Special Operations Team to observe and monitor activities of individuals, who are involved in the habit of mutilating the Naira.
 
“The team visited many event centres and monitored social media pages, where the Naira was being abused. During the course of the monitoring, the team came across videos on social media, where the defendant was seen abusing the Naira. The team then proceeded to download these videos via our office laptop computers and also went further to copy these videos on compact discs”.
 
“In the light of the foregoing, a letter of invitation was written and forwarded to the defendant.
 
“The defendant honoured the invitation. When he got to our office, he was voluntarily cautioned. Thereafter, he volunteered to write his statement”.
 
“The defendant was shown a video, where he was spraying money on an artiste called Segun Johnson. The defendant confessed that he was the one in the video. He was also shown a video at IMAX Circle Mall, where he sprayed a total sum of N400,000 at a movie premiere. The defendant also admitted that he was the one in the video and that he carried out the abuse”.
 
“The defendant was also shown two other videos of him spraying the Naira at Aja junction, Ikorodu, and White Stone Event Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.
 
“The defendant admitted to spraying money in these videos. He was, therefore, served with a bail condition.
 
Consequently, Sulaiman then prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly.
 
Justice Awogboro had, thereafter, ruled that “upon the admission of guilt by the defendant, testimony of PW1 and following the evidence tendered, the defendant is declared guilty as charged.”
 
In his plea for mercy, Bobrisky  said: “I am a social media influencer, with five million followers; and in all honesty, I was not aware of the law. I wish I can be given a second chance to use my platform to educate my followers against the abuse of the Naira.”
 
Also, his lawyer had said: “He will lead the crusade against the abuse of Naira. He is also an employer of people ; and if he goes to jail, the people he employs  will suffer. He has cooperated with the EFCC and has not wasted the time of the court. We urge the court to caution the defendant and allow him to go. He has given evidence that he will be useful to the country. We urge you to grant a non-custodial sentencing option of fine.”
 
After listening to both parties, the Judge had deferred judgment in the matter to Tuesday, April 9, 2024 and also ordered that he be remanded in the EFCC custody.
 
Delivering judgment on Friday, Justice Awogboro held that “The act of mutilating the Naira notes has become a menace, which has continued to damage the image of the country…
 
“Enough of people mutilating and tampering with our currencies. It has to stop. His will serve as a deterrent to others.”
 
The Judge, therefore, sentenced him to six months imprisonment, without an option of fine, from the date of his remand.
