Popular businesswoman, Bo Hairs has recounted how armed robbers invaded her home at gunpoint in December last year, carting away cash, gold, luxury jewellery, watches and other valuables.
According to the businesswoman, the incident occurred while she was asleep, when one of the robbers reportedly appeared behind her nanny and forced his way into her room.
She said the robber told her that the house had been surrounded and demanded that she hand over all the dollars, foreign currencies and gold in her possession.
According to Bo Hairs, the robbers threatened to harm her and her son if she refused to cooperate.
She said she eventually handed over about $7,000 in cash, nearly ₦2 million, gold jewellery, luxury items and other valuables.
She added that the robbers later discovered two Rolex watches belonging to her and her husband.
Bo Hairs said the entire ordeal lasted less than 10 minutes, adding that her primary concern throughout the incident was the safety of her son.
The businesswoman also raised concerns about her nanny’s conduct during the robbery, saying she appeared to have known more about the movements of the armed men than she initially realised.
She said the experience left her shaken, particularly because of the threat posed to her and her son.
American rapper Rick Ross has been arrested in Miami, Florida, over allegations of physical abuse and assault.
The arrest came after the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, Jazzma Kendrick, accused him of physically abusing her, including allegedly choking her during an August dispute.
Ross was arrested on Thursday and charged with one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor count of battery. Both charges are classified as domestic violence-related, according to online jail records.
The 50-year-old rapper’s arrest came days after Kendrick took to Instagram to accuse him of physical abuse.
According to WPLG, the alleged incident occurred on August 28 and was reported later.
Ross appeared via Zoom before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer at a bond hearing on Thursday morning. The judge said she had reviewed the arrest report and found probable cause in the case.
Ross’ attorney, Bradley Horenstein, denied the allegations against his client and urged the public not to rush to judgment.
“All I can say is that the allegations are false. He’s innocent. Everything is going to come out,” Horenstein told CBS News Miami.
“We just ask that you allow the process to play out before rushing to judgment, because the truth will come in.”
During the hearing, Horenstein noted that Ross is a celebrity and asked the court to expedite his release.
Judge Glazer subsequently set his bond at $4,000 for the battery by strangulation charge and $1,000 for the misdemeanor battery charge, bringing the total to $5,000.
The judge also issued a stay-away order barring Ross from having direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim, including through third parties, social media or other electronic means.
He was further ordered to stay away from the alleged victim’s home, workplace and school.
Ross was also ordered to surrender any firearms and concealed weapons and prohibited from possessing firearms while the case is pending. The court further ordered him not to engage in criminal activity or use illegal drugs.
His arraignment has been scheduled for October 22.

The polished images associated with fashion rarely reveal everything happening behind them.
For Veronika Vovk Dmytriyivna, building a career as a model and fashion influencer has been about more than her fashion projects, international work and extensive travel. In her career, she has also encountered challenging experiences, different professional environments, and decision-making situations that have shaped her. Veronika has gained insight into being more cautious and attentive to others, listening to her instincts, and being more confident in making her own decisions.
These lessons are now complemented by international professional experience that includes working with Guess, an ongoing collaboration with Italian brand 100% Capri, fashion shows connected to Demna, and commercial advertising experience.
Success Has a Less Visible Side
Veronika’s career can be seen from the outside in terms of her professional accomplishments. During her modelling career she has worked with Ukrainian and foreign fashion brands and also been widely travelling around.
This experience has enabled her to gain experience in working in various professional settings, and to work on projects that involve famous people. But, Veronika’s journey hasn’t been easy. As she has endured many hardships and hard times in her life, she has had to cope with some people who mean something different when they say it.
For example, these experiences help her to be more mindful of the people she spends time with, to listen to her gut and to make her own choices.
Learning to Trust Her Own Judgment
Perhaps one of the most important things she has learned is to pay more attention to the people she chooses to be around in all areas of her life, especially at work. Veronika discovered through trial and error that it is crucial to be aware of the people she is in close proximity to.
It was also a confidence booster that made her do what she felt was right, and do it on her own. These lessons have influenced Veronika’s attitude toward the various persons and circumstances in her career.
Confidence Built Through Experience
For Veronika, confidence has been built through experience. One notable international experience was an advertising campaign for a Cypriot airline that included a scene with Andrea Pirlo. Working on international projects involving well-known personalities such as Andrea Pirlo has helped Veronika gain confidence and experience in different working environments.
Professionalism Wherever the Work Takes Her
Those experiences helped her develop three major attributes that are important to her in her work: professionalism, adaptability and confidence. Through her experience working with international brands and personalities, Veronika has learned the importance of remaining professional, adaptable and confident in different environments.
Her Instagram account, @nikavovkk, reaches a mostly Ukrainian and Slavic audience. One of Veronika’s priorities as her career progresses is to increase her visibility in the international fashion industry and reach a wider audience across Europe and around the world.
The Discipline Behind an International Career
Not everything Veronika has learned comes from modelling. She was also working and travelling extensively for her career while completing her degree in Psychology in Ukraine. Throughout her studies, she continued pursuing her education while remaining active in her professional career.
University, Work and Constant Travel
Balancing university, work, and constant travel was a major challenge for Veronika. It took a lot of organisation, discipline and determination. During her studies, she continued collaborating with Ukrainian and international brands and working on fashion projects.
Despite having a demanding schedule, she finished her degree in Psychology while continuing to grow her career in the fashion industry. Being able to balance those two challenging areas is one of Veronika’s biggest achievements.
Why One Path Doesn’t Have to Be Enough
One of the main things Veronika has learned from her journey is that individuals don’t need to be limited to solely one purpose. She feels that one can pursue an education, build a career, travel and grow in several different areas at the same time with proper organisation and the right mindset. Her own experience reflects that belief. During her studies, Veronika continued working with Ukrainian and international brands and participating in various fashion projects while completing her education.
Taking Ownership of a Personal Brand
For Veronika, it is not just a matter of finding another modelling opportunity. She wants to strengthen her personal brand, increase her visibility in the international fashion industry and reach a wider audience across Europe and internationally.
From The Start of Her Career, Learning From Experience.
Veronika is currently working on her career as a model and fashion influencer while also growing professionally from the difficulties and experiences she has faced during her journey. She has learned to be more careful with whom she has contact, more trusting of her intuition and more confident in her own choices.
These lessons complement the professionalism, adaptability and confidence she has gained through working with international brands and personalities. As Veronika plans for a bigger international presence, these experiences remain an important part of her journey.
What Comes Next for Veronika?
For the future, Veronika aspires to further build her professional career in the world of fashion and be associated with well-known brands, broaden her professional footprint and further explore the fashion world.
Her career has already brought her out of Ukraine and into working with European and international brands, commercial ads and international professional experiences. In addition to these professional accomplishments, Veronika has acquired the skills to juggle all aspects of her life, including education, work and traveling extensively. She is growing more professional, adaptable and confident in her ability to do so in different environments as a result of her international experiences and challenging situations have taught her to be more careful about the people she surrounds herself with, trust her instinct and make her own decisions.
These lessons are an integral component of the international career and personal brand she continues to develop.
Sandra Joseph, sister of Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, has criticised MC Fish for allegedly blaming the actress for the loss of their unborn child.
The controversy began after MC Fish, in a social media post shared two days ago, claimed that Anita Joseph’s frequent use of waist trainers contributed to the death of their baby.
Reacting to the allegation, Sandra described the claim as insensitive and unfair, stating that no woman should have the pain and trauma of losing a child used against her.
“Anita has suffered the loss of two pregnancies,” Sandra said, adding that MC Fish personally buried one of the babies.
She further alleged that during one of the pregnancies, MC Fish pushed Anita, causing her to fall. According to her, the incident contributed to the loss of the unborn child.
Sandra questioned MC Fish’s actions, saying it was wrong to publicly attack Anita over such a painful experience.
She also expressed concern over the type of father he would have been if he could use the death of their child as a weapon against the actress.
Nigerian adult content creator, Mandy Kiss, has urged people to learn from her mistakes instead of simply mocking her as she starts over at her mother’s shop in Ijebu, Ogun State.
Mandy Kiss made the statement in a video after returning to the market, where she reflected on her experience and encouraged people to live their lives according to their own choices.
“You are free to mock me. It is my fault, but learn from my mistakes. Live your life, do you hear?” she said.
She advised people not to allow other people’s opinions to determine how they live, stressing that personal happiness should come first.
“Don’t live other people’s opinions. Your happiness should come first in anything you’re doing. Put yourself first,” she said.
Mandy Kiss also encouraged her followers to pursue things that make them happy, regardless of opposition.
“Anything that makes you happy, do it regardless of whoever is against it. Live your life,” she added.
Speaking about her return to her family home, she said taking care of the house when she had money made it possible for her to return during a difficult period.
“Thank God I did very well at home. That’s why I was able to go back there. If not, where would I be now?” she said.
She added that her experience had shown her the importance of taking care of one’s family when things are going well.
“I did very well, that’s why I was accepted back into the house. That’s why it is good to take care of the house when you have money,” she said.
Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has urged Nigerians to move beyond criticising the country’s challenges and actively contribute to finding solutions.
RMD made the call while speaking at the 2026 Pivot Nigeria Conference in Lagos.
The actor acknowledged the numerous challenges confronting the country, but stressed that identifying problems should be accompanied by efforts to address them.
“There are problems, but we need to fix them. Don’t stand and just criticise and propose no solution,” he said.
RMD also called on Nigerians to demand greater accountability from political leaders, stressing that elected officials must take responsibility for the people they represent.
“We don’t hold leadership accountable enough,” he said.
According to the veteran actor, Nigerians have a responsibility to ensure that those entrusted with public office understand that they are accountable to the people.
RMD further urged citizens to remember that their individual conduct contributes to Nigeria’s image, particularly when they travel or interact with people from other countries.
“Just remember who you are. You are an ambassador, not just for yourself, your parents or your school, but ultimately for your country,” he added.
Describing Nigeria as a “work in progress,” RMD called for patience, responsibility and sustained efforts from both citizens and leaders to drive national development.
Teqsus Studios has announced a buy-one-get-one-free ticket offer for its historical epic, King Kosoko: The Battle For Lagos, at selected cinemas nationwide on Independence Day.
