![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-300x200.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
Social media blog, Gistlover has unveiled the pictures of Bola Tinubu’s children claiming that he kept them off the limelight because of his life as a drug lord.
The controversial blog also claimed that Tinubu bought many properties in the name of his children in a bid to cover his tracks.
On Gistlover Telegram page, the blog shared the picture of some of Tinubu’s children that are not in public domain.
According to Gistlover, Bola Tinubu’s last child is Olayinka and he was a product of a fling with a woman.
Gistlover said, “Now back to Lagos, his time had ended as governor after ruling since 1999 to 2007, he needed to hand over Lagos to another loyal boy. He choose Tayo Ayinde, the popular guy many call ‘Chief of Staff’ but Remi Tinubu declined bluntly. She refused and her reasons was that during Amoda (Bola Tinubu’s) time in the office, Amoda (Tinubu) got one Chicago based lady pregnant.
“The lady later gave birth and they named the boy Yinka, so aside from Seyi Tinubu there is another Yinka Tinubu who is from Amoda’s mistress and according to what Remi heard it was Tayo Ayinde that arranged the lady for Amoda.
“This got Remi angry and it was a big case then and Remi vowed to expose all Amoda’s secret if he shows the boy to the world. Amoda had no choice than to pay the lady off and tell the lady to take the child back to the US, so this hindered Chief of Staff appointment as Lagos state governor. One way or the other, Amoda met Babatunde Fashola and he liked him and that was it, he gave him the post they were planning to give Tayo Ayinde.
Detailing the story of Yinka Tinubu, Gistlover wrote on Instagram, “Let’s meet Amoda’s (Bola Tinubu) mistress that gave birth to the Yinka. She kept changing name just to hide so hand won’t touch her, she was paid off and Amoda uses her and the son to launder money, they bought over six houses in the boys name and many more in the mothers name, here are some of the picture of the houses.

“Meanwhile they’ve been tracking my location since last week, I kept getting notifications because I set notifications for it. When they failed to track me they sent somebody to come and beg that I should skip Seyi Tinubu’s part.”
