Famous On-Air Personality, Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, professionally known as Do2dtun, has reacted to singer 2Face’s public apology over his controversial claim that men aren’t built to be sexually committed to a woman.

OSUNDAILY NG reported that 2Face apologised to his wife, Natasha Osawuru, and his kids in a video broadcast following backlash.

Reacting, Do2dtun claimed that 2Face was forced to make the retraction, stressing that someone was exploiting the singer’s current vulnerability.

He explained that the ‘African Queen’ crooner had never addressed any scandal before. He insisted that all isn’t currently well with the singer.

In a series of posts on X, Do2dtun wrote, “Please I don’t like this 2Face I’m seeing. Something is not right at all. He can express himself how he chooses to, but why always make him retract a video or make an apology always like a child? He is vulnerable, and someone is milking it. Whoever is holding that camera is wicked.”

“Someone is forcing him to be who he is not. 2Face hardly addresses anything. Even in his worst of worst scandals, he never addresses anything like this. Something is wrong. He is regressing, and I hate it.”

The media personality stated that it is unfair to criticise 2Face over his controversial remark because he spoke his truth.

He noted that while the apology video “might be necessary to the cause it chooses to convey,” the person influencing 2Face to make the video is not doing it for the singer’s brand but for themselves.

Do2dtun claimed that 2Face needs “help” and recommended he go for therapy.

The Police Command in Yobe says it has concluded arrangements to demolish a high-velocity projectile in Damaturu on Wednesday.

The command’s spokesman, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, disclosed this in a statement in Damaturu.

He said the controlled demolition of the bomb would be handled by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) Police Unit.

According to him, the exercise will be conducted at a distance away from the command’s headquarters on Gashua Road at 1 p.m.

Abdulkarim, therefore, called on the general public not to panic, as the exercise would be safe and posed no risk to the people.

The spokesman said that the explosive device, which was earlier discovered around Potiskum Road, might have been abandoned by metal scrap dealers.

“Recall that on June 22, 2025, an explosive device exploded at a scrap collection company in Kano, claiming 15 lives.

“We, therefore, urge scrap dealers, especially those operating in conflict areas, to avoid collecting or buying unidentified or unique metal objects.

“Report suspicious objects to the nearest police station or security formation for verification,” he said.

Abdulkarim said the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Emmanuel Ado, had warned that anyone found collecting, purchasing, or selling explosive devices would be arrested for endangering lives and property.
