Former BBN star Leo Da Silva debate Police over ‘One Chance’ scams

Published

on

The Nigeria Police and former Big Brother Naija star, Leo Da Silva have engaged in a public debate over strategies to combat “one chance” menace and individuals reportedly involved in street-level scams and petty crimes across major Nigerian cities.

On Sunday, Leo Da Silva took to X to express frustration with current police deployment strategies, questioning the effectiveness of roadside checkpoints and suggesting that police efforts would be better focused on bus stops, where “one chance” operators are more active.

“Nothing pisses me off than ‘one chance’. It’s like mini kidnapping, mini banditry. Instead of police mounting useless checkpoints to greet us, why not go to bus stops and investigate these one-chance operators and grab all of them??” he tweeted.


The reality TV star’s comments prompted a response from the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who emphasized that enforcement strategies must balance action with protecting citizens from harassment.

“I am sure you would come back to complain of police harassment, profiling and unnecessary delays at the bus stops. There are smarter ways.

“Let us start by making moves for 24/7 CCTV coverage of all bus stops. Just in case you’d ask, it isn’t for us to install, but it’ll help us a great deal,” Hundeyin posted, advocating for technological solutions to improve policing while reducing friction with commuters.

Leo Da Silva later clarified that his main concern was ensuring police manpower is prioritised toward directly tackling criminal activity rather than traditional checkpoints.

“I don’t know what your first sentence means, even if that doesn’t affect me, it’s a valid complaint. Instead of deploying unnecessary checkpoints, why not suggest to the force that one chance operators must be caught.”

“Use that manpower to sort that. Abuja and Lagos, especially,” he wrote, highlighting the specific challenges in Nigeria’s capital cities.

AMBODE VOTES IN EPE, HARPS ON CULTURE OF ONE MAN ONE VOTE Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday voted at his polling unit in Epe in the Governorship and House of Assembly elections, saying that there is no better time to enhance democracy and promote the culture of one man one vote. Governor Ambode, who got to his polling unit at ward A5, unit 033, Ogunmodede College, Ajaganabe Area, Papa Epe, with his wife around 9:55am, voted at exactly 10:11am. Speaking to journalists after casting his ballot, the Governor specifically renewed the call for eligible voters to come out enmasse, explaining that it was in doing so that their well-being would be enhanced and also deepen good governance in the State. "Like I said earlier, voting has been peaceful thus far; the security agencies are actually at work and we are encouraging every Lagosian to come out and perform their civic obligations without threat or fear. "I believe strongly that in doing this we would continue to enhance the tenets of democracy and like you can see, we believe that with this, we are promoting the culture of one man one vote and then also improve on the State's well-being and the good governance that we have always enjoyed in Lagos State. "I'm happy that I have done this and I will do it again," the Governor said. He also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address delays in arrival of election materials and staff in some centres in the State, saying such was necessary in view of the need to allow more voters to perform their civic obligations. "Firstly, I just want to thank all Lagosians that today, we have all decided that we are going to promote the real tenets of democracy by actually performing our civic obligation and coming out to vote. I have just finished voting with my wife and in this particular polling booth, everything has been very peaceful. "I also understand across the State voting is ongoing and somehow there have been reports of delays in some of these polling centres and we implore INEC to ensure that the voting materials and all the electoral staff actually come out quickly so that everybody can have the opportunity to perform their civic obligations," he said.

Popular Nigerian rapper, Okafor Victor, professionally known as Mr Real, has made a u-turn over his remarks about D’banj’s CREAM platform.

Recall that D’banj had during an interview on The Micon Podcast in November 2025, claimed that his Creative Reality Entertainment Art & Music platform, known as CREAM, is worth $3 billion.

Reacting in a video on social media, Mr Real who stated that D’banj was just trying to package the CREAM platform, accused him of failing to pay him an agreed N20 million ambassadorial deal with CREAM.


However in a new development, Mr Real in a recent video shared on his Instagram page on Monday, made a u-turn and tendered a public apology to D’banj.

He said, “Hello everyone, this video is an apology video to my boss D’banj. I know most of you must have seen what is happening between me, D’banj, and the CREAM platform. I misunderstood and misinterpreted some things concerning CREAM, and I want to use this opportunity to say I’m very very sorry.

“To D’banj, you play a very big role in my career. I regret the tone and public manner of my recent comments. I hold Dbanj in the highest regard, and I apologise for how the situation was handled. I have withdrawn my comments, and I will not make further public statements on this matter while cooperating to resolve this matter amicably.”

The apology came after D’banj, through his lawyers, reportedly petitioned against Mr Real.

The Enugu-born rapper explained that music distracted him from vices.


“I have been arrested multiple times by law enforcement agencies due to vices. If you look at my hands and legs, you will see scars of handcuffs. Anti-cult, police have all arrested me before.

“Thank God for music. If not for music, I would probably be in prison by now,” he said.

Jeriq also shared the struggles he faced when he initially came to Lagos to push his career forward.

“The first time I came to Lagos, then I wasn’t popping so I didn’t any opportunity to meet artists. If was difficult to collaborate with any artist then because I was still upcoming.

The rapper added that he is confident that he would gain international recognition rapping in his native language, Igbo.
