Popular Lagos-based businesswoman, Bebe Jewelry, who operated from Trade Fair Market, shared an emotional video just days before her tragic death in China, where she had travelled to source goods for her business.

In the video, Bebe spoke candidly about the physical and emotional toll of entrepreneurship, revealing how exhausted she felt after days of searching for products.

“I’m tired, so tired. Money matter no easy o. Ah God, bless the works of my hands o. Also, to every woman hustling out there, we will not die young. We will all live to eat the fruit of our labour,” she said.

She noted that many people only see the success of hardworking entrepreneurs, often unaware of the sacrifices, stress and challenges behind the scenes.

Bebe went on to pray for God’s blessings upon herself and every hardworking woman striving to build a better future.

Describing her condition at the time, she added:

“I know how I feel right now. The pain in my leg is so much. See heat. The market has AC, yet I’m sweating. It’s choking, like my leg hurts so much. God help us o.”

She also prayed in Igbo, asking God not to allow the eyes of the enemy to see or prevail over them.

Sadly, CCTV footage later captured the moment she reportedly slumped and died while on her business trip in China.

Her passing has left many Nigerians heartbroken, with social media users reflecting on the pressures of hustle culture and the importance of prioritising health while pursuing success.

Operatives of the Anti-Robbery Team of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two suspected armed robbers and recovered three locally made pistols and 18 live cartridges in a follow-up operation across Ogun and Lagos states.

The suspects, identified as Adeyinka Onakomaya, 46, and Olayiwola Kehinde, 48, were apprehended for their alleged involvement in armed robbery, carjacking and unlawful possession of firearms.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, in a statement on Wednesday, said the breakthrough followed months of sustained intelligence gathering after the recovery of a stolen red Toyota Matrix in April 2026.

According to him, the vehicle was linked to an armed robbery incident reported in April, prompting detectives to expand their investigation, which led them to the hideouts of the suspects.

Babaseyi stated that Onakomaya was tracked to the Babaode area along Idiroko Road, Ota, in Ogun State, while Kehinde was arrested in the Command area of Lagos State.

He disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed that the two men, alongside other gang members, masterminded the April robbery and were also linked to a series of violent vehicle snatchings in Ota, Iju, Babaode and Atan areas of Ogun State.

“Upon their arrest, a thorough search led to the recovery of three locally made pistols and 18 live cartridges,” the PPRO said.

During interrogation, both suspects reportedly confessed to their roles in several armed robbery operations within the state.

The image maker said efforts were ongoing to track down and arrest other fleeing members of the syndicate for prosecution.

He also quoted the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, as commending the operatives for their tenacity and operational efficiency, adding that the recovery and arrests demonstrated the Command’s resolve not to abandon any criminal case.

“The recovery of the firearms and the arrest of key syndicate members underscore the Command’s determination not to leave any criminal investigation incomplete,” he stated.

The CP reassured residents that the Command remained committed to dismantling armed robbery networks and making Ogun State unsafe for criminals, urging members of the public to support the police by reporting suspicious activities.

Five suspected cultists have been arrested by operatives of the Edo State Police Command.

Commissioner of Police in charge of the command, Patrick Daaor, disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday in Benin City.

Daaor said the suspects were arrested in separate operations.

He said one of the suspects, identified as Andrew Friday, 27, was arrested on August 7, 2026, at Akpakpava by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit.

He added that on August 5, 2026, a distress report was received from Flight Transport Services, Akpakpava, Benin City, after an unknown man abandoned a sack he had presented for waybill to Benue State.

“Upon searching the abandoned sack, officers discovered unripe plantains concealing three locally made Beretta pistols.

“Through technical intelligence and sustained investigation, operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit arrested Andrew Friday, aged 27, on August 7, 2026, at Akpakpava.

“The suspect confessed to sending the sack and admitted membership of the Aiye Secret Cult Confraternity.

“He further stated that the firearms were given to him by one Bance, surname unknown, from Iyanomo Community, allegedly for repairs in Benue State and subsequent use in an ongoing cult rivalry,” he disclosed.

He said the investigation was ongoing to apprehend other suspects connected with the matter.

In another operation, the Commissioner said four suspected cult members were arrested and firearms recovered from them.

He added that the suspects were arrested by operatives of the Anti-Cultism and Anti-Kidnapping Unit.

He said the operatives, acting on credible intelligence in collaboration with personnel attached to the Government House Task Force, conducted an operation at Egbaen Community, off Ekenhuan Road, Benin City.

He said four suspects, including Nuka Joseph, 27; Osatohamwen Ogor, 30; John Osewengie, 30; and Osezee Osayi, 29, were arrested.

The Commissioner stated that the operation led to the recovery of four locally fabricated pistols, one locally made Beretta pistol and one cut-to-size double-barrel gun.

He also added that the suspects allegedly confessed to membership of the Aiye Confraternity Cult.

He said efforts were ongoing to apprehend other members of the syndicate.

The Commissioner of Police, however, encouraged residents to look out for one another and pay attention to their neighbours, friends, colleagues and loved ones.
