Lamenting the ugly incident, the DG said Ultima Ltd was one of the most valued partners in the lottery business, commending them for applying great sense of innovation and creativity in the television shows 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' and 'Project Fame West Africa.'

- There have been reports that a show featuring afro juju creator, Sir Shina Peters, was disrupted by security agents in the US. But his Corporate Affairs Manager, Ibraheem Abiodun, has debunked such claims. According to him, 'SSP is on a tour of the US and if at all there was any such incident, I would have been aware. But no such information got to me.'

An online news portal had reported that 'Star', as the juju act is also known, was left dejected when a show he was performing in at the Royal Prestige Hall, Largo, Prince Georges County in the state of Maryland, USA, was stopped due to the inability of the organisers to produce a liquour license. E-Punch is still investigating.
