    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.

    City rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will go against each other this weekend for matchday 6 of the 2022/23 La Liga season showing on SuperSport.

    Diego Simeone’s men will host their unbeaten neighbours to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday night. The tie will be broadcast on SuperSport La Liga (DStv channel 204 and GOtv channel 32).

    There is usually no love lost during the Madrid derby and this edition is getting heated already. Atletico’s captain, Koke has warned Real Madrid’s in-form forward, Vinicius Junior against attempting his Samba celebration on Sunday night.

    Koke told Movistar during an interview, “If he scores a goal (Vinicius) and decides to dance, he will do what he wants to do.”

    “Everyone has their own way of being and celebrating goals as they want, but there would be trouble for sure. It would be the most normal thing,” he added.

    • Rudiger scores as Real Madrid maintain winning run

    While Los Blancos are currently top of the table, Atletico is currently outside the top four with ten points. The hosts will be desperate to end their neighbours unbeaten run and claim a vital three points to climb higher on the league table.

    Other games to look out for on Sunday include Real Betis vs Girona at 1:00pm, Villarreal vs Sevilla at 3:15pm and Real Sociedad vs Espanyol at 5:30pm. They will broadcast on SuperSport La Liga (DStv channel 204 and GOtv channel 32).
