In her heartfelt post, Ajao expressed deep gratitude to God for this achievement, describing it as a moment of immense pride for her as a mother. She reflected on the journey from university to NYSC, now culminating in this successful completion.
Ajao’s message conveyed both joy and hope for the future. She acknowledged that one chapter had ended and a greater one was about to begin for her son.

She urged fans to tune in, promising a story they would love.
Meanwhile, in another development, Nigerian police officer Newton Isokpehi has issued a public apology after a viral video showed him threatening to shoot anyone who tried to record him while on duty. The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many condemning his remarks and calling for disciplinary action. In a new video shared on TikTok, Isokpehi stated that his comments were made out of anger and were not meant to be taken literally. He directly appealed to rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who initially shared the clip, asking for forgiveness.
Isokpehi explained that while he does not oppose citizens recording police officers, he believes some individuals cross boundaries when filming officers on duty. He emphasized his 12-year service in the Mobile Police unit and claimed to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds during operations. He showed scars on his body, recounting how 15 of his colleagues did not survive a particular mission. He insisted he would never harm his own people and described his earlier statement as a moment of frustration.
The officer pleaded with Nigerians to judge him based on his overall conduct rather than a single viral clip. He expressed hope for improved welfare and working conditions for police officers under current leadership. His apology comes less than 24 hours after the initial video went viral on platforms like X and Instagram, drawing heavy criticism. Despite the backlash, Isokpehi remains committed to his service, stating he is ready to face anyone who wants to meet him one-on-one. The incident has reignited discussions about police accountability and public safety in Nigeria.
