President Trump has confimred that his chief of staff, John Kelly, would
step down by the end of the year. The departure of Kelly, who
was brought in last year to impose order on the West Wing but found
managing Trump an impossible task, had been rumored for months, and
Trump announced it to reporters before departing for the Army-Navy
football game in Philadelphia. He said a replacement would be named in
the next day or two. “John Kelly will be leaving I don’t know if I can
say ‘retiring, but he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the
end of the year” the president said. The announcement of Kelly’s
departure comes as the White House braces for the final stages of the
investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, including a
report detailing his findings on questions of collusion and obstruction
of justice. The president also faces a string of oversight
investigations into his administration from Democrats after they take
control of the House next month.
Kehinde Timilehin, a 17-year-old secondary pupil has killed a
schoolmate, Favour Matthew, 16, after engaging in a contest to test the
potency of their juju. The two students of Ado Grammar School,
Ado-Ekiti were said to have engaged each other in a juju contest after
which Matthew, a Senior Secondary School 2 pupil, reportedly went home
to bring an axe to attack Timilehin. According to reports, Timilehin,
who was in SSS 3, overpowered Matthew, collected the axe and struck him
in the chest, leaving him in a pool of blood. Matthew was rushed to the
Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, where he died. In
the wake of Mathew’s death, the Ebira community along Ado-Federal
Polytechnic Road reportedly threatened a reprisal against the Yoruba
community in the area. Policemen were deployed in the neighbourhood to
prevent a breakdown of law and order while a police van was stationed at
the school gate. The school principal, Ebenezer Falayi, and the vice
principal, Olurotimi Olaoluwa, explained that the incident occurred
around 2.15pm after closing hours. Falayi said, “this incident really
saddened us because it was avoidable. What I gathered from students who
were at the spot was that the two were arguing over who had superior
power and the deceased had earlier gone home to bring weapons, which did
not have any effect on the suspect when used on him. I was told that
the suspect later overpowered the victim and struck him in the chest
with the weapon. Our teachers, including me, the vice principal and
registrar who reside in the school rushed him to EKSUTH. We even took
the suspect along.The victim was put on life support, but that could not
help the situation. He died in the hospital. I had to quickly call the
Divisional Police Officer of the Odo-Ado Police Station who deployed his
men in the area. We also contacted the police station at Oke Ila,
Ado-Ekiti, to prevent the suspect from being killed by highly enraged
family members of the deceased.The hospital insisted on conducting an
autopsy before releasing the corpse, but the family resisted it. The
corpse was later released to the family when it nearly led a crisis in
the hospital. The suspect is in police custody. I begged for more
security operatives to be deployed in the school area when we heard that
30 students would be killed in a reprisal attacks.”The suspect had been
taken to the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department of the
state police command. The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State
Police Command, DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, confirmed the incident, adding that
the suspect was in custody while investigation had begun.

comments as it turns out that Freeze never insulted the comedian's

mutual friends and they made me understand that I totally got it wrong. I

paedolalia. Until this day, I had never come across the word. I
responded in haste. I AM SORRY FREEZE!'. See his new tweets below....

Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke has narrated his recent ugly encounter
with officers of the Nigerian Police Force and LASTMA. Narrating his
experience, the actor said, 'yesterday, after I had finished from a
scheduled meeting with Charles Otudor I left the Eko Hotel and joined
the gradually building traffic leading on to Lekki'. Only a few minutes
from my meeting, had I unfortunately run into a minor collision with
another driver, Mrs Mosunmola Ilori, at the Lekki Phase 1 roundabout. We
both inspected the damage(s), conferred and thought first, to get off
the road for oncoming traffic. Just less than 10feet away from all this
were the Lastma and Police, sharing the police post at the
roundabout. All I asked, was their assistance (witnessed by Mrs Ilori)
in getting some barricades off the road for us to park properly and this
scenario I have just described, turned into a full blown fiasco, seeing
4 police officers pounce on me and 2 others on Mrs Ilori and her niece.
I have come off this incident with stitches in my mouth and chin. Mrs
Ilori as well, to the full glare and amazement of pedestrians and moving
traffic, was ruffled up, beat, and dragged on the tarred ground. The
Leading man here was one Officer IDEH DONATUS who severally pointed a
gun in my chest. I hereby humbly call on the executive governor of Lagos

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned members of his church to desist from
using his pictures and that of his wife, Foluke, on souvenirs for sale.
According to him, he is not God and can never share in God's glory. The
clergyman gave the warning on Friday December 7th at the ongoing annual
Holy Ghost Congress of the church holding at the Redemption Camp,
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He said it had come to his notice that some
members of his church have started seeing him as God that they use his
photos and that of his wife on any of their materials. He appealed to
them to stop it as he does not want to incur the wrath of God“It has
been brought to my notice that people are using my picture and that of
my wife on key holders, calendars, books and other souvenirs. This is
wrong and anyone found with such materials should be arrested and
reported to the police. I am not God. I did not send them. I have
nothing to do with those materials. I am an ordinary man of God. God
will never share his glory with any man. I am not ready to die. Devil, I
am not ready to go.If at any time, God is sensing that a man is trying
to share his glory, the man is dead. If you find anyone selling
anything whatsoever with my picture or my wife’s, report them to the
police immediately.” he saidOn why he was forced to publicly call them
to order, the clergyman said that recently a woman bought a key holder
with his picture and his wife’s inscribed on it and gave it to her child
and the child began to eat the key holder and in no time, the picture
pasted on the key holder removed and surprisingly what they found was
the picture of another tele evangelist, Prophet T. B Joshua.“I know you
all know what that means. Please stop and cooperate,” he pleaded. 
Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka's spokesman has alleged that there was an
assassination attempt on the controversial priest in Enugu State on
Thursday. The spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke blamed it on politics as the
attack comes days after Mbaka publicly declared the Abubakar-Obi ticket
doomed. Read the statement below...“It is with rude shock and utter
surprise that we received the report of the attempted assassination plot
of the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria last
Thursday evening by some unknown gun men who fired gun shots at him on
his way in Enugu. This incident has added to several other
assassination plots targeted at Fr. Mbaka since after the first plot
that was carried out on him on his way from the Bishop’s house where he
had gone to answer an impromptu call by his Bishop during the regime of
Governor Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State.This assassination plot
against Fr. Mbaka is coming barely few days after the 2018 Harvest and
Bazaar of the Ministry whereat Fr. Mbaka had come under massive media
attack for asking Peter Obi, the PDP Vice Presidential candidate for the
2019 general elections who attended the Bazaar programme, to make
public his support or donation for the Church Project of the
Ministry.Many supporters of Peter Obi and even clergies have
misconstrued this as embarrassing to Peter Obi and to the Catholic
Church and this has consequently given rise to the statement issued by
the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) that same Thursday on
the issue.The issue had lingered inspite of the apology which Fr. Mbaka
in his characteristic humility had tendered at the altar to Peter Obi
and anyone who may have, in any way, form or shape been offended at the
Bazaar event. We have refrained from making any official statement on
the ongoing media attack against Fr Mbaka over the Baazar incident
because he had held us back from joining issues with the Church clergies
and hierarchies on the subject, but we cannot continue to keep silent
especially now that the issue is taking the dimension of a plot to
terminate his life. We recall that the last time Fr. Mbaka raised alarm
over threat to exterminate him was in early 2015 when he faced a
similar persecution by some church hierarchy and the PDP Government
following his 31st December Prophecy of the imminent defeat of former
President Goodluck Jonathan led PDP Government by President Mohammadu
Buhari at the 2015 general elections. Today with the 2019 general
elections around the corner, it appears that history is repeating
itself. The contemporaneousness of the recent attack of Fr. Mbaka by
gunmen with the Peter Obi and the CBCN saga leaves us to a safe
conclusion that the attack on Fr. Mbaka may have either been politically
engineered or ecumenically endorsed, and thus we will not hesitate to
call on the security agencies in this country to beam their search
lights and leave no stone unturned in getting to the root of this
issue.Fr Mbaka’s life means so much to us and many poor and voiceless
Nigerians for whom he lives and so we cannot be silent on the face of
any threat to his life real or perceived”.
