    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.

    Tinubu has achieved in 100 days what Buhari could not – Fani-Kayode

    Fani-Kayode warns Western 'Christian genocide' narrative is a plot to destabilise Nigeria

    Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has achieved in 100 days what the former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration could not attempt in many years.

    Fani-Kayode, a former PDP chieftain who is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that Tinubu has returned Nigeria to its position among the Community of Nations.

    Stating how proud he is of the achievements of Tinubu since he took over the affairs of the country, Fani-Kayode noted that with Tinubu at the helm of affairs, “Nigeria is clearly on the rise again.

    He said, “In the last few days, our President has placed Nigeria back at the centre of international affairs, where she rightly belongs.

    “After a fantastic outing in India at the G20 summit, which has attracted billions of dollars in investment to our country and where he rightly told world leaders that they cannot do without Nigeria, he went to the UAE and not only ensured that the visa ban on Nigerians was lifted but also ensured a resolution to the trapped Emirati funds at the Central Bank and the issue of flight routes and air travel between our two countries. All these achievements in a matter of a few days

    “These are things that the previous administration could not achieve in years of protracted and oftentimes acrimonious negotiations.

    • Expect more coups in Africa – Fani-Kayode

    “I am truly proud of our President, and, under his watch, Nigeria is clearly on the rise again.

    “Not only has he restored our confidence and hope, but he has also proved to the world that Great Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, has come alive again. Glory be to God.”
