Muhsin Hendricks, known as the world’s first openly gay imam, has been shot dead in Cape Town, South Africa.

Hendricks, who ran a mosque designed as a safe space for LGBTQ+ and other marginalized Muslims, was in a car with another person when a vehicle stopped in front of them. Armed individuals, with their faces covered, opened fire before driving away.

The tragic incident reportedly took place on Saturday.

Confirming the incident, the Police said: ‘Two unknown suspects with covered faces got out of the vehicle and started firing multiple shots at the vehicle

“Thereafter they fled the scene, and the driver noticed that Hendricks, who was seated at the back of the vehicle was shot and killed.”

Although before his death, Hendricks was involved  in various LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and came out as gay in 1996.

Two years later he started hosting meetings in his home city for LGBTQ+ Muslims, who treated him like their community imam. 

“I opened my garage, put a carpet down and invited people to have tea and talk,” he told the Guardian in 2022.

In 2011 Hendricks Proved his role as an imam figure by setting up a mosque space after a friend endured a local sermon condemning homosexuality. “I said, ‘Maybe it’s time we started our own space, so people can pray without being judged’.” he said 

He ran the Al-Ghurbaah mosque at Wynberg near his birthplace, Cape Town. The mosque provides “a safe space in which queer Muslims and marginalised women can practise Islam”

Reality TV star and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Doyin David, has stated that a woman should have between ₦5-10 million in her account before considering marriage.

She made this statement during an episode of her podcast, Doyin’s Corner, where she was joined by her colleague, Chizzy.

When asked to explain her stance, Doyin emphasized that once a woman starts having children, her financial responsibilities increase. She highlighted expenses such as food, childcare, and the rising cost of living as key reasons why financial stability is essential before marriage.

Using her upbringing as example, she said: ‘“At whatever level you are, you need to save up some money. For example, after my dad died, he left a lot of money. I never got to do anything. Up till now, I don’t even take public transport. I don’t know how to do all these house chores because of how I was brought up”.

“Assuming if my mother didn’t have money saved up. What will have happened? Because it took a while to access my dad’s money after his death. I didn’t feel the absence of my dad until after years because my mum took over the responsibilities”.

The Kwara State Police Command has arrested an Islamic cleric, Abdulrahman Mohad Ballo based in Ilorin, for the gruesome murder of Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, a final-year student at the Kwara State College of Education. The murder is suspected to have been carried out for ritual purposes.  

Reports indicate that Yetunde was lured by Ballo through Facebook. She was last seen on February 10, 2025, after attending a naming ceremony. During the event, she stepped outside to take a phone call and never returned.  

“Since then, we’ve been searching for her everywhere, but no one knew her whereabouts,” a source revealed.  

The following day, February 11th, her family reported her missing at Oja-Oba Police Station, Ilorin. 

When authorities traced the last call she received, it led them to Ballo’s residence in the Offa Garage district.  

Initially, the suspect denied any involvement, but during a search of his house, he later confessed that Yetunde had visited him and claimed she died from an asthma attack. 

However, upon further investigation, police discovered her dismembered body hidden in a bowl, along with tools used in the crime.  

Confirming the arrest, the Kwara State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, stated: ” “The Kwara State Police Command is aware of the gruesome killing of one Miss Yetunde H. Lawal. On February 11, 2025, at about 1800 hours, a case of a missing person was reported at C Division Oja-Oba by her father, Mr. Ibrahim A. Lawal. 

“Immediately, detectives swung into action, tracked her number, and arrested a suspect. Exhibits were recovered, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation. 

“Further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses.” 

Former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston has shared heartbreaking news with her followers—she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Taking to Instagram, Katie made the emotional announcement, writing:: “Life update: I have breast cancer.

Yesterday I saw all the couples post their Valentines Day celebrations. I felt envious if I’m being honest. Jeff took me to Hawaii and after, we were going to travel the world before planting roots together in NYC finally. But instead, my Vday was spent coordinating a place to live as I have to go back to LA for more testing and treatment. I used my morning to figure out insurance for NYC and laws on preexisting conditions. I scheduled appointments for another biopsy, fertility, mental health, surgery, as well as meeting with my team to discuss the overall treatment plan, which will include chemo.

I experienced a range of emotions over the past two weeks. Despair. Anger. Sadness. Denial. And then strength. Purposeful. Ready. I cried a lot. I tried to even make a video instead of this post and couldn’t.

But one thing I did early on was search other stories like mine. Other young women with breast cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma. Mastectomy. Pregnancy after breast cancer. All of their stories helped. So I intend to be the same for others. This is day one of sharing and is going to be a long one. This first step of acceptance of my reality was the hardest. But I am ready to fight this.

And I saved the best for last. To my extraordinary husband to be @jarcuri – I don’t know how I’d do this without you. The selfless love that you smother me in is beyond anything I imagined I’d be blessed with. I love you to the fullest in this lifetime and the next. 🤍

As Kanye West and Bianca Censori move forward with their divorce, TMZ reports that both parties have officially contacted divorce lawyers. Notably, their marriage did not involve a prenup which could complicate financial settlements.  

Sources close to the situation revealed that legal representatives for both Kanye and Bianca began discussions earlier this week. TMZ also reported that Kanye has lost a significant amount of money since marrying Bianca.  

Under California law, assets and debts acquired during a marriage are typically split equally. However, because many of Kanye’s financial losses—such as the millions he lost on his Malibu property—occurred before his marriage to Bianca, she may not be responsible for those debts.
