Actor Tyrese Gibson Arrested over dog attack that left Neighbors pet dead

October 4, 2025 (updated October 4, 2025) Published by

The 46-year-old star, best known for playing Roman Pearce in the Fast & Furious franchise, turned himself in on Friday morning, October 4, at Fulton County Jail. He was officially booked around 6 a.m. and later released on a $20,000 bond.

Hollywood actor and R&B singer Tyrese Gibson has been arrested and charged with animal cruelty after one of his Cane Corso dogs allegedly mauled a neighbour’s pet to death in Atlanta.

According to police, the incident happened on September 18 in the Buckhead area of Atlanta while Tyrese was away from home. A neighbour’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was reportedly killed in the attack, with authorities linking one of Tyrese’s four Cane Corsos to the fatal mauling.

The actor had previously been warned multiple times about letting his dogs roam off-leash, officials said.

Following the tragedy, Tyrese rehomed all four of his dogs and, through his lawyer, expressed condolences to the family of the deceased pet. His attorney also stressed that Tyrese has been fully cooperating with investigators and will continue to do so until the case is resolved.

Police, however, maintain that his negligence directly led to the death of the smaller dog, with Captain Nicole Dwyer confirming that all four of Tyrese’s dogs are to be handed over to the authorities as part of the ongoing case.

The arrest has stirred reactions online, with many shocked that the star — who recently spoke publicly about taking a “mental health break” and even travelled to Dubai — is now facing legal troubles back home.

Tyrese, who rose to fame as a singer before becoming a Hollywood regular, has yet to personally address the case.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: “Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45 am today where they found the body of a 46-year-old man.

There are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances

Former US president Undergoes Surgery for Skin cancer-Report

September 5, 2025 (updated September 5, 2025) Published by

Former US President Joe Biden recently underwent a surgical procedure to address skin cancer, following the circulation of images and videos showing the 82-year-old with a noticeable bandage and mark on his forehead.

As reported by Fox News on Thursday, Biden’s spokesperson confirmed Mohs surgery is a highly precise technique that removes thin layers of skin one at a time, ensuring all cancerous cells are eliminated while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible. The exact type of skin cancer he was treated for has not been publicly disclosed.

This type of procedure is often recommended for early detection and treatment of skin cancers, underscoring the importance of vigilance and regular check-ups.

The procedure came to public attention after footage showed Biden leaving a church in Delaware over the Labour Day weekend with a visible bandage and scar on his forehead. Spokesperson Kelly Scully highlighted the careful approach of the surgery, emphasising that the goal was to completely remove the cancer while minimising skin damage

Recall, this is not Biden’s first experience with skin cancer.

In early 2023, while serving as president, he had a basal cell carcinoma lesion removed from his chest. Dr Kevin O’Connor, his White House physician at the time, confirmed that the cancerous tissue was entirely removed and no additional treatment was required.

Adding to his health challenges, in May 2025, Biden shared that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Despite these serious diagnoses, he has maintained an optimistic outlook.

On social media, Biden reflected on his journey, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.”

Biden’s family history also highlights the widespread impact of cancer. His late son, Beau Biden, passed away from a brain tumour, and his wife, Jill Biden, had two cancerous skin lesions removed in 2023. Their experiences underscore the need for awareness, early detection, and timely treatment for all forms of cancer

At 82, Biden is the oldest living former U.S. president. He continues to manage his health carefully while participating in public engagements, demonstrating resilience and the importance of prioritising medical care.

Biden’s recent procedures highlight the critical importance of regular health screenings and early detection.

Skin cancer, prostate cancer, and other forms of cancer can often be treated successfully if caught early.

According to the American Cancer Society, regular screening and early detection are essential strategies in cancer prevention. They emphasise that adopting healthy lifestyle habits and being proactive about regular screenings can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer.

For prostate cancer, the ACS recommends that men of average risk begin prostate-specific antigen testing at age 50, while those at higher risk, such as Black men or those with a family history, should start at age 45.

Families and communities are encouraged to support each other, share information on preventive measures, and seek timely care to reduce the risk and impact of cancer.

Tragedy in Anambra: “Fish Magnet” Entrepreneur Kidnapped and Killed by Gunmen

July 31, 2025 (updated July 31, 2025) Published by

A chilling tragedy struck Anambra State over the weekend as Ifesinachi Martins Onyekere—better known as “Fish Magnet” on social media—was abducted and murdered in cold blood after an armed raid on his home in Okpuno, Awka South Local Government Area.

Gunmen in an ash‑coloured Lexus SUV stormed Onyekere’s residence in Ezinifite Village around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, shooting him in the leg and forcibly abducting him in his own navy‑blue Toyota Corolla. The attackers then escaped via bush paths toward Nawfia, evading local security forces.

Though reports suggest a ransom was paid for his release, Fish Magnet’s body was later discovered abandoned along a roadside in Awka on Wednesday, triggering widespread public outrage

Fish Magnet, a youthful and enterprising fish seller, had built a reputation for offering lower prices in the trade—earning admiration but also stirring envy. An old video resurfaced after his death in which he openly discussed resentment from colleagues in the industry, stating he “reduced the price for everybody” which stirred anger among fellow sellers.

The police spokesperson in Anambra, Superintendent Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the kidnapping and murder, saying the victim’s vehicle was recovered on Ukwulu/Igbariam Road by security operatives. The Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, has ordered all investigative units to intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

Social media has erupted with grief and calls for justice. Social commentator Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), wept publicly over Fish Magnet’s death and vowed to visit Anambra on August 4 for a candlelight procession through the fish market to raise awareness about the growing insecurity in the region.

The slain entrepreneur was the only child of his mother, who also serves as a women’s leader in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State—a connection that has amplified public interest and concern over the incident.

This incident has reignited fears about worsening insecurity in southeastern Nigeria, where kidnappings and armed attacks have become grimly frequent—often targeting young entrepreneurs and traders. Public pressure is mounting on authorities to act swiftly and prevent further loss of promising lives.

Devil told me to take my life’ – Chidinmma Ekile shares traumatic experience

July 23, 2025 (updated July 23, 2025) Published by

Nigerian gospel singer Chidinma Ekile has opened up about a deeply personal spiritual journey marked by solitude, fasting, and prayer.

The former Project Fame winner revealed that she spent 40 days in isolation, seeking divine direction and undergoing intense spiritual experiences. She described the period as one of emotional upheaval, fervent prayer, and profound internal struggle.

Chidinma disclosed that she spent her nights outdoors, expressing herself to God through music and prayer. She characterised the experience as intensely personal and noted that it brought an unprecedented awareness of God’s presence.

During her time on the mountain, the singer recounted a particularly harrowing episode in which she felt spiritually vulnerable and was confronted by a dark force.

She described standing at the edge of a cliff, urged by a compelling voice to jump. However, she said an invisible force intervened and blocked her path, ultimately preventing what could have been a fatal act.

It was more like I was in a theatre and God performed surgery on me and He shredded me. I have seen it all, and material things don’t move me anymore.

The enemy came to me to take me out of there before my time. The devil took me to the top of a cliff at night where everywhere was dark. And right there, He asked me to jump. The voice was so strong.

When I was about to jump, I noticed that I was barricaded and It was impossible to jump. Something was just there,” she said.

Chidinma’s testimony has since stirred reactions among her followers, many of whom praised her candour and spiritual resilience.

Buhari was high in spirit night before his death says Mamman Darua

July 15, 2025 (updated July 15, 2025) Published by

Mamman Daura, nephew of former President Muhammadu Buhari, says the late Nigerian leader was in good spirits hours before his death.

Buhari passed away on Sunday at the age of 82 in a clinic in London, the United Kingdom.

Daura told ThisDay that he spent Saturday evening with Buhari at the clinic, where he had been receiving medical care.

He said Buhari was cheerful and talkative and even made plans to return to Nigeria later in the week after his discharge.

We were together on Saturday, talking and laughing, and Buhari was in high spirits in the London Clinic where he was admitted,” Daura said.

We talked about everything. He even had the plan to depart for Nigeria upon his discharge this week and made sure that arrangements were made to sort out the hotel bills of everybody who was in London on his behalf before departing.”

Daura said he left Buhari around 9 p.m. on Saturday, intending to see him again on Sunday afternoon.

But by midday on Sunday, he said Buhari’s condition took a sharp turn for the worse.

“I left him around 9pm on Saturday in high spirits and promised to see him on Sunday afternoon. He was looking forward to his doctor’s visit on Sunday morning,” Daura said.

“But around midday, he started having breathing challenges, and doctors rushed to his side to try and manage it. But unfortunately, around 4.30 pm, he gave up the ghost.”

The remains of the late former president departed the European country for Nigeria on Tuesday.

President Bola Tinubu is expected to receive the corpse for burial scheduled later today in Daura, Katsina state.
