The 28-year-old who's standing trial on November 18 was reportedly attacked in HMP Belmarsh prison yesterday by unknown men suspected to be prison officers. Two of his frontal teeth were knocked out in the process.
However, a spokeswoman of the Prison Service stated that the matter is currently being investigated.
The 'Kelekele love' crooner revealed the news on her instagram page with a picture of herself signing a contract. "MTN ambassador, I don port o. God you are so good to me #mtn #onceuponatime #powermoves #blessed".
Other ambassadors on MTN's train include Wizkid, Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz, KC.
inspite of the overwhelming evidence (husband's posts) deemed it a lie particularly because no word came from her.
Apparently pressurised from different quarters, the popular actress broke her silence on the issue yesterday. In an SMS message she sent to a Nation newspaper writer, the Vitafoam ambassador wrote,
"My marriage is intact. I read in the newspaper yesterday that I am divorced. What proof do you have? And I am taking this to court because my marriage is intact. You guys are rumour mongers. Funke Akindele Oloyede."
The movie stars Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello), Toyin Adewale, Adebayo Femi, Bimbo Oshin, Niyi Johnson, Afonja Sanyeri and many others.
Her third novel, AMERICANAH has just won the 2013 Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for fiction. Created in 1988 by the Chicago Tribune Newspaper, the annual prize is awarded to fiction and non-fiction books that reinforce and perpetuate the values of heartland America.
Speaking shortly on the winner, Elizabeth Taylor, Literary Editor, The Chicago Tribune revealed, "We loved AMERICANAH. It's a powerful, resonant novel and we would be delighted to celebrate it and try to share it with a wider audience."
"I'm very pleased. You never know what will happen when you write a novel. And for me, a Nigerian, to have written this book which is partly about America, and to receive this quintessentially American prize means that I have said something about America as seen through Nigerian eyes that Americans find interesting. I take that as a wonderful compliment. It reminds me of the ability of literature to make us become briefly alive in bodies not our own." The elated writer reacted to the honour.
