Singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has been charged with the murder and dismemberment of a teenage girl whose body was discovered in an abandoned Tesla in the Hollywood Hills.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated that the charges include first-degree murder with special circumstances, such as lying in wait, committing the crime for financial gain, or murdering a witness in an investigation. If convicted, Burke could face a death sentence or life imprisonment without parole. Burke, who gained internet fame in 2022 with his song “Romantic Homicide,” also faces charges of repeatedly having sex with Celeste, who disappeared from her family home at age 13, and dismembering her body.

Must ReadSpeaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, is set to inaugurate an ad hoc committee today to investigate the inclusion of the unestablished Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council PFIPC in the 2026 Appropriation Act. The committee, chaired by Yusuf Gagdi, will examine how approximately N1.32 billion was allocated to an agency that has not been legally established. This probe follows the arrest of Adeyemi Adeniyi, who allegedly presented himself as the Director-General of the PFIPC and is accused of orchestrating its budget inclusion. Adeniyi reportedly claimed to have paid N100 million through proxies to the President's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to facilitate the agency's establishment, an allegation denied by both the Presidency and Gbajabiamila's office. The investigation, conducted under Sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 Constitution, will involve key government officials, civil society organizations, and the public. Invited stakeholders include ministers of Budget and Economic Planning, Finance, Industry, Trade and Investment, Attorney-General, Foreign Affairs, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and heads of anti-graft agencies. However, the committee's decision not to invite Gbajabiamila or Adeniyi has drawn criticism, with some expressing concerns about the credibility and potential bias of the investigation.
