Dalung Breaks Silence: TikTok Chat With Bandit Exposes Deep Secrets Behind The Violence

Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has opened up about a surprising and thought-provoking conversation he once had with a young man who claimed to be living in the bush as a bandit. Dalung shared the experience during an interview with News Central, explaining how the encounter gave him a deeper understanding of the issues fueling insecurity……CONTINUE READING

According to Dalung, he was browsing TikTok when he came across the young man, who openly described himself as someone living in the forest due to ongoing conflict. Curious, Dalung asked why they engaged in violent activities. The young man responded that they had suffered losses themselves and felt targeted by vigilante groups who, according to him, harmed their people and took their cattle. This, he said, pushed them into retaliation and led them deeper into the bush.

Dalung explained that he challenged the young man, pointing out that innocent people—including other Fulani individuals—were being harmed in the process. The young man replied that, from their viewpoint, only those living in the bush were considered part of their community, while anyone living in town was seen differently. It was a response that, according to Dalung, revealed how distorted perceptions can worsen the cycle of conflict.

Wanting to know if there was any path toward peace, Dalung asked what could help end the violence. The young man shared that they were open to negotiation and discussions that could encourage them to give up their weapons and reintegrate into society. Dalung noted that the confidence with which the young man spoke was unsettling, but it also showed that dialogue could be part of the solution.

Reflecting on the experience, Dalung urged the National Assembly to consider constitutional changes that would allow Nigerians the legal right to defend themselves responsibly, especially in areas affected by insecurity.

His conversation serves as a reminder of how complex the nation’s security challenges are—and how personal engagement, understanding, and strategic dialogue may help chart a way forward.

BREAKING: EFCC Drags Ex-Justice Minister Malami—What He Said Will Shock You

Nigeria’s former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has confirmed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially summoned him—sending shockwaves across the nation’s political landscape…….CONTINUE READING

Malami, who served from 2015 to 2023 under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, broke the news himself in a bold announcement on his social media page, declaring that he is ready to face investigators head-on.

The once-powerful justice minister, known for steering some of the country’s most controversial legal battles—from massive asset recovery operations to heated anti-corruption reforms—now finds himself at the centre of a fresh probe.
Throughout his tenure, Malami was linked to numerous high-stakes decisions, arbitration wars, and sensitive financial crime cases that kept him in the public eye.

In recent years, however, scrutiny tightened around issues such as asset declarations and management of recovered funds—allegations he has firmly and repeatedly rejected.

For now, the EFCC remains tight-lipped, refusing to disclose what exactly Malami is being called in for, leaving the public buzzing with speculation.

In a confident statement on Facebook, Malami wrote:

“This is to confirm that I have been invited by the EFCC.
As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation.
I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service—principles I have always advocated.
I am committed to sharing developments with the Nigerian public as they unfold.”

With Malami’s pledge to keep Nigerians updated, all eyes are now fixed on the unfolding drama—a saga that promises to shake up the nation’s justice and political corridors once again.

Death On Stream: The French Kick Scandal And The Dark Side Of Online Shock Content

The French Kick Scandal

The internet has always thrived on spectacle. From Jackass-style stunts to today’s TikTok challenges, audiences have long been drawn to the outrageous. But a recent incident in France has pushed that obsession with “extreme content” into deeply unsettling territory — a man died during a livestream on the Kick platform…..CONTINUE READING

Now, the streamer at the center of the storm, 23-year-old Safine Hamadi, is speaking out: “I’m not the one who killed him. None of us killed him.”

The victim, 46-year-old Raphael Graven (better known online as Jean Pormanove), collapsed during a 12-day nonstop broadcast that featured him enduring humiliation and physical challenges. At first glance, the footage seemed like a grim descent into digital exploitation. But Hamadi insists it was all scripted theater — nothing more than paid performance designed to grab clicks and go viral.

The Show That Went Too Far

According to Hamadi, he and Graven weren’t victims or perpetrators but “actors” earning €6,000 a month from the channel’s operator, Owen Cenazandotti. The shouting, the abuse, even Graven’s protests, Hamadi says, were staged for maximum shock value:

“We wanted it to be spectacular… so people would clip the videos, talk about us, create more buzz.”

This claim is partly backed up by prosecutors. An autopsy found no evidence of third-party violence, and Graven himself had previously told investigators he wasn’t being mistreated. On paper, it looks like a tragic death that happened during — not because of — a reckless broadcast.

But does that absolve anyone of responsibility?

Why France (and the World) Is Alarmed

The French government doesn’t think so. Officials announced legal action against Kick, accusing the platform of negligence and failing to protect users from dangerous content. Prosecutors in Paris have also opened a wider investigation into the company’s practices.

Kick, which is headquartered in Australia, hit back with accusations of “political opportunism.” But this fight is about more than one man’s death — it’s about the growing culture of dangerous online stunts, the platforms that host them, and the audiences that reward them.

Kick, often seen as a looser, edgier alternative to Twitch, has been accused before of letting creators push boundaries too far in pursuit of engagement. This incident could become a turning point, forcing regulators to clamp down harder on streaming platforms that thrive on viral chaos.

The Bigger Picture: When Views Trump Safety

What happened to Graven isn’t an isolated case. Around the world, content creators are upping the stakes to grab attention:

• Eating dangerous amounts of food for “mukbang” streams.

• Risking injuries in extreme sports challenges.

• Performing risky pranks that blur the line between entertainment and abuse.

The brutal truth? Algorithms reward extremity. The more shocking the content, the higher the engagement. That creates a dangerous incentive structure where people — sometimes desperate for money, fame, or relevance — put themselves in harm’s way for likes.

Graven’s death forces us to ask: at what cost are we consuming entertainment?

Final Thoughts

Safine Hamadi may be right that he didn’t “kill” his colleague. But the livestreamed death of Raphael Graven is still a tragedy born of an attention economy that thrives on spectacle without boundaries.

The French government vs. Kick showdown isn’t just about one platform. It’s about where society draws the line between performance and exploitation, between entertainment and endangerment.

And until we have those conversations, one thing is clear: the internet will keep rewarding stunts that put human dignity — and sometimes human life — on the line.
