United States-based Nigerian dancer, Korra Obidi has secured a permanent restraining order against her estranged husband, Justin Dean.

Nancy, Korra’s sister, who shared the update in an Instagram post on Wednesday, revealed that the order was granted after a long legal battle.

DAILY POST reports that Obidi and Dean’s marriage crashed in 2022, over allegation of infidelity.

Also, Korra and ex-hubby Justin Dean, in a court document dated 19th January 2022, were banned from sharing photos and videos of their children, June and Athena Dean, on the internet.

In June 2023, Korra cried out on social media over anonymous people reporting her to Child Protective Services, CPS, accusing her of abusing her children.

Nancy, in the Instagram post, detailed allegations of harassment, exploitation and defamation by Justin and an associate, who allegedly shared intimate content of their children.

“Dear IG fam. How are you doing? I have never brought this issue here but I’m too excited and I want to share this.

“Today, my sister @korraobidi secured permanent restraining order against her Facebook stalker. This stalker defamed, harassed and threatened her for over 2 years on Facebook.

“It does not end there, this stalker befriended my sister’s ex. He invited her to his house and while she was there, she took pictures and videos of my sister’s children unclad right in their father’s bathroom.

“He permitted this stalker to share the clips and photos with a group of racists in exchange for monetary gains.

“So far, my sister has spent almost $200,000 fighting for her right to be in her children’s life. Today was the first of several hearings. She has taken him to court to get back her right to motherhood. We are happy it’s off to a great start. The stalker can no longer bully her online or come 100 yards near her and her children.

“I’m grateful to God for my sister. She escaped, not a lot of people are that lucky. Now she’ll fight for her TOTAL FREEDOM.”

Bismarck Rewane, an economist and the Executive Director of Financial Derivatives, has said the prices of tomatoes and pepper dropped to N60,000 per basket amid the hunger protests.

Rewane, who is also a member of the Presidential Economic Coordination Council, disclosed this on Thursday in an interview with Channels Television.

According to him, the drop represents a significant price reduction when compared to the N130,000 to N150,000 a basket of tomatoes and pepper sold two to three weeks ago.

He, however, noted that the food items were sold out at perishable value.

According to him, the prices of tomatoes and pepper may increase again as business activities return to normalcy in Nigerian markets post-protests.

“Our team went into the market Yesterday(Wednesday), percent drop in the price of tomatoes to down to N60,000 per basket, the price was bold two to three weeks ago.

“Pepper has come down to N60,000 by 57 percent. I think that these are perishable goods. Because of the protests and the restrictions on movement, the goods that are on the farm are not getting to market and the ones in the market are being sold off.

“What I think will happen is that in the next few days, the price of tomatoes and peppers will increase again. Right now it is the perishable value that will be seen in the market,” he said.

Recall that in the past week, protesters had taken to the streets in major Nigerian cities, demonstrating against the rising cost of living in the country.

Commercial sex workers in Kano have appealed to organisers of the nationwide hunger protests to engage the Federal Government in dialogue.

They told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday that the protests had crippled social-economic activities, leaving them without customers and struggling to survive.

Monica James, who operates on France Road, said that dialogue was the only option to address the grievances of the protesters.

“I have not eaten for two days because of the curfew; our customers are nowhere to be found,” she said.

She urged the organisers to shelve their protests and negotiate with the government to end the demonstrations.

Deborah Iliya, a sex worker on Yoruba Road, who echoed James’ sentiments, described the situation as horrible, as she has not been able to find customers.

Hannatu Ibrahim, of Weather Head Area, also called for an end to the protests, joining the growing calls for a return of normalcy.

Caroline James, a sex worker operating from a brothel on Enugu street in Sabon Gari, said that the infiltration of hoodlums and subsequent violence “spoilt our business.”

She said that she had booked clients who were willing to pay between N30, 000 and N40,000, but they were unable to keep their appointments due to the tension and curfew.

A sex worker, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that some of her colleagues were forced to share rooms due to the lack of customers during the protest.

She appealed to the authorities to relax the curfew, stating that it had severely impacted their ability to conduct business.

Moses John, a bar attendant, told NAN that the curfew had severely impacted business activities in Sabon Gari, with hotels and bars hardly selling due to the absence of customers.

Kenneth John, a dealer in Esi Ewu ( goat head) on Aitken Road, told NAN that the curfew had negatively impacted business activities in Sabon Gari, lamenting that he had lost several heads of goats due to lack of power supply.
