Popular Afrobeat star, Davido, has revealed that his longtime personal assistant, Lati, who serves as his best man at his wedding introduced him to Chioma, his wife.

Davido and his longtime partner, Chioma Rowland also known as Chefchi, tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Lagos today.

The ceremony witnessed the attendance of notable figures in the country ranging from business to politics and entertainment spaces.

At the wedding, Davido announced that his best man was the one who introduced him to his wife.

Reacting to the news, Afrobeats singer Dammy Krane also confirmed the story.

“HER FRIEND CAME TO SEE LATI FROM BABCOCK & SHE BROUGHT CHI; THEN LATI INTRODUCED CHIOMA TO OWE B OWE YOU WELCOME — INDUSTRY LANDLORD,” he tweeted.

Coincidentally, today is Lati’s birthday.

Last year, Davido in a very touching message on his page described Lati as his right-hand man and best friend.

“Happy Bday my Right hand man!! Best friend ! Big brother!! Confidant!!! And best believe if u try me!! 400 go enter ur soul!!!! Today lion must enter blood love u my ARUBA !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @lt_ddon,” he wrote.

In a recent interview, the singer opened up about his relationship with Chioma, revealing that he had known her before his rise to fame and fortune.

Reflecting on this, Davido expressed gratitude for meeting her during that period, emphasizing that it would have been challenging for him to enter relationships now as he would feel every woman wants him for his money or status.

Davido revealed the significance of authenticity in his circle, noting that success for him lies not just in personal achievements but in the continued presence of those who stood by him during his humble beginnings.

The couple, who lost their son Ifeanyi in a tragic accident in 2022, welcomed their twins in the United States in October, 2023.

Members of the organised labour comprising both the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, have convened an emergency meeting over the decision of the Federal Executive Council to step down the memo on the minimum wage.

The meeting, according to a top official at the NLC headquarters, will be held at Labour House at 10:00am on Wednesday.

The official said it is meant for discussion on the decision of FEC to step down the memo on minimum wage.

It would be recalled that the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said all 39 items on the agenda of the meeting were all taken except the memo on the minimum wage.

Idris had disclosed that there was a report by the Tripartite committee which comprises of local government, States , NLC/ TUC and the federal government, adding that the committee submitted its report, and there was a memo to that effect.

The minister, however, said Council could not take a decision on it because it involves Local Government, states, FG, Organized Private Sector and Labour unions.

He, therefore, said the memo on the new minimum wage was stepped down so that the President, Bola Tinubu could consult widely before a final submission is made to the National Assembly.

Meanwhile, the NLC official, who spoke to Daily Trust Tuesday night said the entire leadership of the two labour centres would meet and take a unanimous position before the President takes consultation to them.

“Even though we had a position already, we will meet tomorrow morning, (Wednesday) to fine-tune our position before we’re consulted. It is important for us,” the top official said anonymously because he wasn’t authorised to speak to the media.

Members of the organised labour had earlier this month paralysed economic activities of the country with its indefinite strike that lasted only two days which declared to press home their demands on minimum wage.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command has paraded a Point of Sale (PoS) operator, Sunday Musa, also known as Dan Gwari, who allegedly specialises in supplying sex workers to bandits in their camp, as well as distributing money to their families in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Benneth Igweh, the commissioner of police in the FCT, who disclosed this while parading the suspect at the command in Abuja on Tuesday, said he was arrested during a coordinated clearance operation by operatives of the anti-kidnap unit of the command at Kagarko.

He said the suspect was also the chief informant and logistics supplier to banditry groups under the general command of one Ardo, who he said was on the run.

He said the suspect confessed to also being the facilitator of the movement of nurses, hard drugs and sex workers on request by the banditry groups.

“The suspect has also confessed to being a financial courier through which money is distributed or shared to the bandits’ families. He confessed to have so far distributed over N20 million on behalf of the bandits,” CP Igweh said.

He added that the suspect further confirmed that the bandits, led by Ardo (general commander), have over 15 members, all with AK-47 rifles.Igweh further disclosed that the police had also arrested a 41-year-old housewife, Ruqquaya Ibrahim, who allegedly supplies foodstuff and other logistics to the bandits.

He said the suspect, who is a resident of Sabon-Wuse, Niger State, had confessed to supplying food items to one of the groups under the commander of Shumau, who is currently on the run.

The commissioner of police revealed that the suspect was arrested at Gidan-Dogo forest on her way to supply food to the bandits, adding that she led the police to Shumau’s residence, where 14 rustled cows were recovered.
