Woman Arrested Over False Kidnap Alarm in Edo

Osarobo Omoyemen, 24, has been arrested by the Edo State Police Command for fabricating a kidnapping story on TikTok, claiming abduction and rescue along Upper Sakponba Road, Benin. She further alleged police extorted her after detaining her at Akpata Station. The Edo police investigation revealed the tale was invented solely to boost her social media following, with evidence including a deleted video showing an accomplice encouraging viewers to follow her TikTok page. Police spokesperson Moses Yamu stated that Omoyemen’s false alarm could cause panic and incite hostility against police in Edo State. She has been charged to court, and authorities are pursuing her accomplices. The police warn this case should deter misuse of social media to create public disorder or tension.

China Approves Arrest of Ex-Abbot of Shaolin Temple Over Embezzlement

Chinese authorities have approved the arrest of Shi Yongxin, former abbot of the globally renowned Shaolin Temple, for suspected embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, and accepting bribes as a non-state employee. Shi was removed from his role in July 2025 for “extremely bad behaviour,” and is accused of misusing project funds and temple assets, leading to a formal investigation and his defrocking by China's top Buddhist authority. Shi Yongxin, nicknamed the “CEO monk,” presided over the temple since 1999 and was responsible for expanding Shaolin’s influence worldwide. Despite significant accomplishments, he drew criticism for commercialising Buddhism and was accused by former monks of financial misconduct, maintaining a fleet of luxury vehicles, and personal scandals involving alleged children with multiple women.

Prison Looms for Brazil’s Bolsonaro After Court Rejects His Appeal

Brazil’s far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro faces imminent prison after Supreme Court judges unanimously rejected his appeal against a 27-year sentence for masterminding a failed coup following his 2022 election loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, convicted in September, was found guilty of plotting to prevent Lula from taking office, with prosecutors alleging the scheme included plans to assassinate Lula and a Supreme Court judge—a plot averted due to lack of military support. With this latest decision, Bolsonaro’s legal team has only five days to file a final appeal, which can be swiftly quashed by lead judge Alexandre de Moraes. Once the final judgment is published—expected as early as next week—a warrant for Bolsonaro’s arrest will likely be issued the same day. The sentence, already reduced for age, was based on Bolsonaro’s role in instigating a violent […]
