The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a recall investigation into nearly 100,000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles the U.S. auto safety regulator said on Tuesday.

According to NHTSA, it involves 2022-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, 2021 Wrangler PHEV and some 2021-2014 Jeep Wranglers.

The investigation is due to reports of loss of motive power, which was the subject of a previous recall by Stellantis in 2022. It involves an estimated 94,275 vehicles.

NHTSA said the Office of Defects Investigation has received 68 reports from Jeep owners.

“The results show the current complaint rate is higher in the out of scope vehicles than it was for vehicles that were later covered by the recall. ODI is opening this Recall Query (RQ) to assess the severity of the alleged defect in vehicles not included in recall 22V-865. ODI will also assess the scope and remedy effectiveness of the recall,” according to NHTSA.

Darasimi, the estranged wife of comedian Ganiu Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has dismissed allegations of infidelity, insisting that her controversial encounter with Yoruba Nollywood actor Babatunde Tayo (Baba Tee) was misinterpreted.

Addressing the claims in an interview on Sunday, Darasimi explained that the incident occurred during a “Truth or Dare” game organized by her friend Marygold, where she briefly sat on Baba Tee’s lap but maintained that no sexual activity took place.

She challenged her ex-husband to produce evidence of her alleged affairs, maintaining that their marriage did not collapse due to infidelity.

However, Baba Tee admitted to a brief sexual encounter with Darasimi, blaming it on intoxication during the game.

He publicly apologized to Ijoba Lande, expressing regret for his actions.

While Darasimi chose to withhold details about the real reason for her failed marriage, she insisted that cheating was not a factor.

Popular comedian and activist Adebowale Adedayo, known as Mr Macaroni, has doubled down on his decision to snub Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, insisting he has no regrets.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Mr Macaroni dismissed criticisms over his stance, stating that even if given another chance, he would not acknowledge the governor.

“This is the last time I will address this matter. It is not worth my peace of mind,” he wrote, slamming Nigerians who defend politicians yet suffer under poor governance.

He accused some critics of hypocrisy, claiming they secretly take bribes while publicly condemning leaders.

Reaffirming his commitment to holding leaders accountable, Mr Macaroni rejected pressure to conform, declaring that he would never betray his conscience.

He also urged Nigerians to rise above tribalism and work towards national unity and justice.
