Key points:
- A Federal High Court stops fresh police moves today. The judge tells officers to leave the case alone.
- The fight links to a fund drive in March 2024. Sponsors pledged over ₦83 million at the gala.
- One side later asked for a ₦60 million refund. That demand then split the deal in two.
Nedu Wazobia now breathes a bit more. A court in Lagos grants him short term relief. The order says police must not call or detain him. Vanguard first reports the order today.
The move follows months of bad blood. Nedu and his crew worked with a business school. They planned a drive to help poor kids pay fees. Things then changed after the big March 2024 event.
Court steps in with urgent order
Justice D. Dipeolu signs the fresh order today. The court restrains the Inspector-General and Alagbon chiefs. Officers must not arrest, grill, or hold the team. The bar stays until the main case starts.
Premium Times adds a new date in the file. The court sets 29 September for a brief mention. Counsel says the brawl stays a civil one. The court then keeps the police on the side lines.
How the partnership fell apart
Court papers list the key names in the plan. The school is Metropolitan School of Business and Management. The partners are Victor and Tolulope Ariyibi-Oke. The goal was to raise funds for school kids.
The March 2024 gala drew cash and pledge slips. Sponsors backed the plan with over ₦83 million. Trouble starts when the other side seeks a refund. They ask for ₦60 million back from the pool.
Nedu’s side rejects that heavy pay-back call. They say no clause backs that huge demand. Talks fail and trust dies soon after that. Police steps then enter the scene as well.
Fresh petitions, probes, and strain on the team
The team tells the court about long police checks. Officers at Alagbon probed for nine months in 2024. A legal unit then gave advice on the case. It said the fight sat in civil courts alone.
Yet a new petition lands in a fresh unit. New invites and tough calls then follow fast. The team cites rough acts by some officers. They even allege an assault on a past lawyer.
Some of the crew say cops held them in July 2025. Others say they lost their passports to the probe. Fans know Nedu for jokes and sharp skits. This grind now drags him from his craft.
Meanwhile, broadcaster Daddy Freeze now takes Nedu’s slot on The Honest Bunch. The podcast said so on Instagram on 16 June 2025.
