Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd on Friday.


The wife of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer, who is charged with murder in the death of George Floyd, has filed for divorce, according to her attorneys, ABC News reports. 

"This evening, I spoke with Kellie Chauvin and her family. She is devastated by Mr Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy. She has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin," the Sekula Law Office said in a statement.


"While Ms Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time."

Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd on Friday. 

More arrests and charges are anticipated, according to Hennepin County Attorney, Michael Freeman.

Video of Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground with his knee pressed to his neck set off widespread protests across the United States this week since his death on Monday. 

Many of those protests have turned chaotic and violent in cities like Minneapolis, New York, Atlanta and several others.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, disclosed this in a memo he personally signed.


The Force Intelligence Bureau will soon be detached from the Force Criminal Investigation Department so that it can become a full-fledged department.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, disclosed this in a memo he personally signed and sighted by PRNigeria.

He said after the FIB is excised from FCID, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police will be appointed as head of the new department.

"This is expected to fully integrate intelligence-led policing strategy to the community policing initiative in addressing the threats that the dynamics of crime poses to the country," said the IGP. 

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari, in his capacity as Chairman of the Nigeria Police Council, has approved the re-organization of the Nigeria Police Force with immediate effect.

Adamu, in the memo titled, "Force Re-organisation", said with the approval, the NPF now has eight departments.

In order to bring police service closer to the citizens, the police boss said Buhari had also approved the creation of an additional five Zonal Commands.

They include Ondo/Ekiti Commands with the headquarters in Akure; Enugu/Anambra/Ebonyi Commands with the headquarters in Awka; Bayelsa/Rivers Commands with the headquarters in Yenagoa; Yobe/Borno Commands with the headquarters in Maiduguri; and Katsina/Kaduna Commands in Katsina.

Adamu said, "In order to enhance the capacity of the four premiere Police Colleges in Kaduna, Ikeja, Maiduguri and Orji River towards meeting the training and capacity development projection of the Force in relation to junior cadre officers, Mr. President approved that the status of the commandants of the colleges is upgraded to the rank of Assistant Inspector-General of Police.

"This will strengthen administration, enhance the commitment of staff, and engender a higher level of discipline and the quality of training at the colleges.

“These approvals were granted by the President in furtherance to the need to expand and strengthen the intelligence department to aid in the entrenchment of the community policing practice as approved by the Federal Government."

KADUNA: EL-RUFAI THREATENS TO JAIL PARENTS ENROLLING CHILDREN IN ALMAJIRI SYSTEM


Credit: Gov El-Rufai

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has warned that parents who enroll their children in the Almajiri education system stand the risk of prosecution and up to two years jail.

El-Rufai stated this in Kaduna on Monday when he visited some 200 Almajiri children repatriated from Nasarawa State and undergoing rehabilitation and optical screening at Government College, Kurmin Mashi, Kaduna, NAN reports.

Almajiri are children enrolled to be taught Islamic knowledge under Islamic Clerics, but who loiter on the streets with bowls begging for alms and food.

The governor also said that any Islamic cleric who enrolls any child into the Almajiri system would also be prosecuted and jailed as well as fined N100,000 or N200,000 per child.

He said that all the Almajiri pupils repatriated from other states of the country were indigenes of the state adding that the government would give them all the opportunity they deserved to grow and develop.

El-Rufai expressed satisfaction with the ongoing transformation of the Almajiri pupils from hopelessness to hope and confidence.

According to him, the state has a responsibility to do whatever it can to give them hope and a better future.

“We will, therefore, continue to take delivery of every Almajiri pupil indigenous to Kaduna state for rehabilitation, treatment, and enrollment into formal school nearest to where their parents live.

“We will continue to do this until we clear Kaduna state of the menace of the Almajiri system, which is not education but the abuse of the privilege and future of a child.

“Our ultimate goal is for them to acquire formal education without depriving them of the opportunity to acquire Quranic education.

“They will continue their Quranic education but under the care of their parents and not under someone who does not know them or paid to look after them.”

He explained that the Ministry of Human Services and Social Development (MHSSD), along with UNICEF would closely monitor them and ensure that no child would leave his locality until he finished primary and junior secondary school.

The governor stressed that every child in Kaduna state must get 12-year free and compulsory primary and secondary school education.

“Those that cannot proceed to senior secondary school will have the opportunity to go to vocational school, also free.

“As such, no parent has any excuse for his child not to go to school,” El-Rufa’i said.

He thanked MHSSD and other state agencies for the commitment and passion for the welfare of the children.

He equally thanked the AMA foundation and other NGOs and civil societies for supporting the government to provide the Almajiri pupils with the needed medical care, food, and clothing, among others.

The governor particularly appreciated UNICEF for supporting the state government in ensuring that all the repatriated children were well documented.

El-Rufai said that the care and support provided had restored the sense of dignity of the children.

ODION IGHALO: CHINA RETURN LIKELY FOR ON-LOAN MAN UNITED STRIKER


Ighalo has scored four goals in eight games for Manchester United
Photo Credit: Getty Images
Striker Odion Ighalo looks set to return to China when his loan deal expires on 31 May, with Manchester United struggling to agree to an extension with Shanghai Shenhua.

The Nigerian, 30, was signed on a short-term loan deal in January as cover for striker Marcus Rashford, who had been ruled out by a back injury.

However, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic means Ighalo's loan will end before the Premier League's intended June return date, by which time Rashford is also expected to be fit.

United have already decided not to sign Ighalo permanently, but have not given up hope of getting a short extension to his loan.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would like him for the rest of the season, given they are still in three competitions and could play up to 18 games in just over two months.

A lifelong United fan who has scored four goals in eight appearances for the club, Ighalo wants to stay at Old Trafford if possible.

However, negotiations with Shanghai have proved difficult, with the Chinese Super League club insistent the player returns as planned.

Ighalo returned for training with United last week and it is understood he will report to Carrington this week as the club explore any opportunity to keep him until the end of the season.

Meanwhile, United have waived future fees, and backdated some, of three clubs with players on loan.

Hearts, Burton, and Bolton are each expected to save a five-figure sum on their loan deals for - respectively - Joel Pereira, Kieran O'Hara, and Ethan Hamilton.

United has made the gesture in recognition of the financial strains some clubs face.

OFFICIAL: SPANISH GOVERNMENT APPROVE JUNE 8th LA LIGA RESTART/PLAYERS NOT CONVINCED


Photo Credit: Getty Images
The resumption of the La Liga campaign took a major step forward this afternoon, following an announcement on the part of the Spanish government.

Bundesliga leads the way
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to wreak havoc on events around the globe, football has of course been at a near standstill since March.

In Europe, Belarus, for almost two months, stood as the only country in which top-flight football continued to be played, with the Champions League and Europa League having also been postponed.


Uefa has postponed the Champions League, Women's Champions League, and Europa League finals.

They're coming up with some solution to finish the campaigns...

Recent weeks, however, have seen positive steps taken towards the resumption of a number of the continent’s top leagues.

Germany of course represents the standard-bearer as things stand after the Bundesliga got back underway last weekend.

Plans for the return of both the Premier League and Serie A in June, meanwhile, have been forthcoming over the last couple of weeks.

Spanish football inching closer
As outlined above, though, a major announcement on behalf of Spain’s government a short time ago saw the La Liga campaign leapfrog its counterparts in both England and Italy towards an imminent resumption.

A confirmation has been forthcoming that professional sport will be permitted to get back underway behind closed doors from the 8th of June.

This means that top-level Spanish football could return to our screens in just over two weeks’ time.

The Spanish government has given the green light for the return of professional sport - including and - as of June 8th, following guidelines from the Ministry of Health.

The Spanish government’s announcement, though, has since been met with skepticism on the part of La Liga’s stars.

As reported by a host of journalists across the country, the majority of players and coaches alike feel that a June 8th restart would be premature, amid concerns over a lack of match fitness, and the potential injury repercussions which could ensue.

NIGERIA COVID-19: 50% DEATH OCCURRED AT HOME, SHOWED NO SYMPTOMS


Covid-19 death

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has said the Federal Government discovered that 50 percent of Nigerians who died from COVID-19 died in their homes and 50 percent also did not show any symptoms of the disease.

Ehanire cautioned Nigerians to strictly observe the COVID-19 health regulations during Eid-el-Fitri celebration, saying “wash your hands constantly with soap under running water and do not go to large gatherings”.

The minister stated this in a statement signed on Friday by the ministry’s Director of Information, Media and Public Relations, Eunice Akro.


He said, “Ehanire said that findings from the analysis of the deaths show that nearly half of them died at home.

“Of those who died at home, about 50 percent did not show any symptoms. This underscores my earlier emphasis on the need for those who test positive to report for treatment.”

Meanwhile, the National Hospital Abuja, on Friday said the Ministry of Health and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control had reviewed the guidelines on discharge of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in isolation for over 45 days.

This may not be unconnected to Mrs. Susan Idoko-Okpe, who was isolated as  Benue State index case for at least  58 days.

Idoko-Okpe, who arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom on March 22, took to social media to protest her testing positive for the COVID-19 results leading to her isolation at the Benue State Isolation Centre in Makurdi on March 27, and subsequently at the National Hospital.

But the NHA’s Deputy Director/Head of Department, Information and Protocol Management, Dr. Tayo Haastrup, in a statement, explained that the new guidelines on discharge allowed positive patients to go home.

“Following the review of protocol for isolation with the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC, it was agreed that patients who remain asymptomatic beyond 45 days could be allowed home on self-isolation, and a repeat test could be done after five to 10 days to confirm if the patient has become negative,” the statement read in part.

The last results given to Idoko-Okpe showed that she was still positive for COVID-19 but the health officials asked her to go, having met the requirements of the World Health Organisation.

HIDDEN HISTORY: SCHIFF BANKING FAMILY, UKRAINE RULED BY KHAZARIANS & ROOTS OF RUSSOPHOBIA


David Dees Volume I 2006-2013
Who knew that the Mainstream Media spinmeisters work for America’s enemies?
The legacy of Adam Schiff, the corruption of Ukraine and those who control the country with fake news

The most important realization that the people of America must have at this moment in history is that there is a Trojan horse full of con artists, who are calling themselves Jews, but who are actually fake Jews who are in the process of destroying our country. They have used their status to pervert the Jewish religion by touting the Talmud, instead of the Torah, as their holy book.

They are the most dangerous and evil group of “imposters” that the world has ever known and they are now in the process of trying to overthrow the United States just like they overthrew Russia and turned it into a communist state over a century ago. This [Khazarian] mafia, which started its vendetta against the entire planet many centuries ago, considers its homeland to be around the Black Sea, the Volga River, and the Caucasus Mountains which is the modern-day country of Ukraine and its surrounding areas.

These imposter Jews are from the ancient empire of Khazaria. Today their bloodlines control the entire planet and their family names are Rothschild, Schiff, Soros, and others. The only way to understand the motivations and the methods of this cabal that threatens our country from within is to understand the history of the key players, who we have been watching, while they do everything in their power to destroy our country and our people on a daily basis.

Their story is one of revenge and abject hatred of Russia and now the United States of America! They feel that America and Russia must never become friends or allies. Every modern-day president who has tried to make peace with Russia was shot, assassinated or attacked mercilessly when they could not be murdered by any other means. The following excerpts are from two books that tell the story of these fake Jews, who have perverted and defiled Judaism and everything that they have touched for centuries.

The following information shows us how similar methods were used by the same group to take over the media, and to create fake stories of Jewish oppression in Russia, in order to overthrow the Russian people. Furthermore, they help to explain how the seeds of our second American Civil War were planted and are now being nurtured by their evil designs. If one wants to know the seat of the bloodlines behind the reptiles of the Washington swamp, and the Wall Street Banks, and the Media Monsters behind all of the outrageous lies about our current reality, they need to look no further than the corrupt country of Ukraine.

The following excerpt is from the book by British writer Arthur Koestler. “THE 13TH TRIBE – THE KHAZAR EMPIRE AND ITS HERITAGE.” The American publisher is Random House, New York, N.Y.


History records that the Khazars were derived from a mixture of Mongols, Turks, and Finns. As early as the 3rd Century A.D., they were identifiable in constant warfare in the areas of Persia and Armenia. Later, in the 5th Century, the Khazars were among the devastating hordes of Attila the Hun. Around 550 A.D., the nomadic Khazars began settling themselves in the area around the northern Caucasus between the Black and Caspian Seas. The Khazar capital of Itil was established at the mouth of the Volga River where it emptied into the Caspian, in order to control the river traffic. The Khazars then exacted a toll of 10% on any and all cargo which passed Itil on the river. Those who refused were attacked and slaughtered.

With their kingdom firmly established in the Caucasus, the Khazars gradually began to create an empire of subjugated peoples. More and more Slavonic tribes, who were peaceful compared to the Khazars, were attacked and conquered. They became parts of the Khazar Empire, required to pay tribute continually to the Khazar kingdom. Tribute by conquered peoples has always been a feature of empires, of course, but not in the fashion of the Khazars. The so-called great empires of the world always gave something in return for the tribute they exacted. Rome, for example, made citizens of those they conquered; and in return for the taxes they levied, they brought civilization, order, and protection against attack from would-be invaders. But not so in the Khazar Empire. The peoples who were subject to the Khazars received only one thing in return for their payments of tribute, and that was a shaky promise: the Khazars would refrain from further attacks and pillage so long as the tributes were paid. The subjects of the Khazar Empire, therefore, were nothing more than the victims of a giant protection racket. The Khazar overlords were therefore resented universally and bitterly throughout their domain, but they were also feared because of the merciless way in which they dealt with anyone who stood up to them.

And so the Khazar Empire expanded until it occupied large areas of what is now Russia and southeastern Europe. By the 8th Century, the Khazar Empire extended northward to Kyiv and westward to include the Magyars, the ancestors of modern Hungary. In about 740 A.D., a stunning event took place. The Khazars had been under continual pressure from their Byzantine and Moslem neighbors to adopt either Christianity or Islam; but the Khazar ruler called the Kagan, had heard of a third religion called JUDAISM. Apparently, for political reasons of independence, the Kagan announced that the Khazars were adopting Judaism as their religion. Overnight an entirely new group of people, the warlike Khazars, suddenly proclaimed themselves Jews—adoptive Jews. The Khazar kingdom began to be described as the “kingdom of the Jews” by historians of that day. Succeeding Khazar rulers took Jewish names, and during the late 9th Century the Khazar kingdom became a haven for Jews from other lands.

Meanwhile the brutal Khazar domination over other peoples continued unchanged. But then a new factor appeared on the scene. During the 8th Century they came coursing down the great rivers—the Dnieper, the Don, the Volga. They were the eastern branch of the Vikings. They were known as the Varangians, or as the Rus. Like other Vikings, the Rus were bold adventurers and fierce fighters; but when they tangled with the Khazars, the Rus often ended up paying tribute like everyone else. In the year 862 a Rus leader named Rurik founded the city of Novgorod, and the RUSSIAN NATION was born. The Rus Vikings settled among the Slavonic tribes under Khazar domination, and the struggle between Vikings and Khazars changed in character.

It became a struggle by the emerging nation of Russia for independence from Khazar oppression.

Over a century after the founding of Russia’s first city, another momentous event took place. Russia’s leader, Prince Vladimir of Kiev, accepted baptism as a Christian in the year 989. He actively promoted Christianity in Russia, and his memory is revered by Russians today as “Saint Vladimir”; and so a thousand years ago Russia’s tradition as a Christian nation began.

Vladimir’s conversion also brought Russia into an alliance with Byzantium. The Byzantine rulers had always feared the Khazars, and the Russians were still struggling to free themselves. And so in the year 1016, combined Russian and Byzantine forces attacked the Khazar kingdom. The Khazar Empire was shattered, and the kingdom of the Khazars itself fell into decline. Eventually most of the Khazar Jews migrated to other areas. Many of them wound up in Eastern Europe, where they mingled and intermarried with other Jews. Like the Semitic Jews some 1000 years earlier, the Khazar Jews became dispersed. The kingdom of the Khazars was no more.

As they moved and lived among the Jewish people, the Khazar Jews passed on a distinct heritage from generation to generation. One element of the Khazar Jew heritage is a militant form of ZIONISM. In the view of Khazar Jews, the land occupied by ancient Israel is to be retaken—not by a miracle but by armed force. This is what is meant by Zionism today, and this is the force that created the nation which calls itself Israel today. The other major ingredient of the Khazar Jew heritage is hatred for Christianity, and for the Russian people as the champions of the Christian faith. Christianity is viewed as the force which caused the ancient so-called kingdom of the Jews, the Khazar kingdom, to collapse. Having once dominated much of what is present-day Russia, the Khazar Jews still want to reestablish that domination—and for a millennium they have been trying continually to do just that.

In 1917 the Khazar Jews passed a major milestone toward the creation of their own state in Palestine. That same year they also created the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. There followed a Christian holocaust, the likes of which the world has never seen. The Khazar Jews were once again in control of Russia after more than 900 years, and they set about the task of destroying Christianity by destroying Christians—over 100-million of them, and at the same time over 20-million religious Jews also died at the hands of the Khazar Jews. This, my friends, is what the Russian Christians were up against in their 60-year struggle to overthrow the atheistic Bolsheviks; but they finally succeeded in their overthrow program, and now the 1000-year-old war between the Russian Christians and the Khazar Jews is reaching a climax. At stake is not only the future of Russia and of Christianity but also of the Jewish people as a whole.

PEOPLE ARRIVING IN UK MUST SPEND TWO WEEKS IN QUARANTINE OR FACE HEFTY FINE



Anyone arriving in the UK must spend two weeks in quarantine or face a hefty fine.


Speaking from Downing Street, Home Secretary Priti Patel announced the mandatory self-isolation which comes into force from June 8.

"We are introducing these new measures now to keep the transmission rate down and prevent a devastating second wave," she said.

The new quarantine rules will also see passengers fill in a digital form providing their contact and travel information so they can be traced and potentially face random checks from public health authorities.

Those who flout the new rules will face a fine of $2000.

But there’s some confusion about the Government’s messaging around Covid-19. Source: 1 NEWS
The announcement has angered the aviation industry who warned such a measure will only add further pressure on the sector already hard hit by the global pandemic.

Appearing on the BBC, Ryan Air's chief executive Michael O'Leary said the quarantine rules were "bonkers" and "unimplementable".

One travel agent said he is likely to shut shop for good.

"I think it will be the final nail in the coffin for mine and many other businesses if this continues," Alistair McLean told the BBC.

Opposition parties have criticized the government again for acting too slowly and say the rules should've come in much earlier to stop the virus from spreading in the UK.

But as the death toll climbs to more than 36,300 the government said the new rules wouldn't have had an impact when the virus was already circulating widely but now, after lockdown, new infections from abroad are problematic.

There will be exemptions for road haulage and freight workers to ensure the supply of goods is not impacted, medical professionals traveling to help with the fight against the virus, and anyone moving from Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

The measures will be reviewed every three weeks.

JUST IN: WE'VE SPENT N800 MILLION TO TEST 16,000 PEOPLE FOR CORONAVIRUS, SAYS LAGOS GOVERNMENT



Lagos State government on Thursday said it had expended about N800 million in carrying out 16,000 COVID-19 tests in the state so far, disclosing that each of the tests, which had been fully paid for, costs between N40,000 and N50,000.

The Commissioner for Health in the state, Professor Akin Abayomi, made this known while fielding questions from newsmen on situation report in the fight the state is waging against the spread of COVID-19 at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Secretariats, Alausa, Ikeja.

He, however, said the state was poised to undertake 1,000 people per day very soon in the next one or two months.

“We have so far performed 16,000 COVID-19 tests in Lagos, which is much higher than anywhere else in Nigeria.

“We are planning to test up to about 1,000 people per day very soon and in the next month or two, we are going to be ramping up our capacity to test.

“For now, the government is providing testing free of charge and the government pays about N40,000 to N50,000 per test.

“But as we ramp up our testing, we are going to try and use some means of subsidy for the test, either through insurance or through some contributions from donors or from development partners.

“For now, the state government is providing COVID-19 testing free of charge and all citizens who need to be tested for COVID-19 either because they are not feeling well or had a close contact can get it done free of charge at any of our testing sites on the four laboratories,” Abayomi said.

Speaking further, the commissioner disclosed that the state was about to roll out a trial on hydroxychloroquine, noting that the state would in the next two months get information on the drug either as preventive or curative, given the solidarity trial it was participating in.

He said the government had identified the centres to roll out the hydroxychloroquine trials and was considering various dietary supplements that could boost or improve the immune system to resist the virus.

According to him, Lagos is seeing a rise in its COVID-19 confirmed cases due to the increase in its testing capacity, stating that the government was looking at integrating the concept of home-based care of COVID-19, even as he enjoined Lagosians to present themselves for test and guard against the stigmatization of COVID-19 patients.

The commissioner further urged the people to always wear nose masks in the public, present themselves early for treatment, as most of the death recorded were cases that were brought in late.


Abayomi, while noting that Lagos and Kano had the same demographic, said the state was recording more cases of the virus due to the fact that it was doing more testing than Kano.

JUST IN: US FAMILY RETURNS $1 MILLION FOUND ON STREET




A sheriff’s department in the US state of Virginia praised a family who returned two large mail bags they found in the middle of the road — filled with nearly $1 million in cash.

Emily Schantz told local television station WTVR that her family was out driving when they ran over one of the bags.

At first, the family thought they had hit a bunch of trash. Then they found another bag in a nearby ditch.

It was only after they returned home that they realized they had nearly $1 million in cash in the back of their pick-up truck, wrapped in plastic inside the two bags.

But instead of hanging onto the windfall, the family turned the bags into the local sheriff’s department in Caroline County, located north of the Virginia state capital of Richmond.

“For someone so honest and willing to give that, almost a million dollars, back, it’s exceptional on their part,” said the department’s Major Scott Moser.

“We are proud and they represented this county well by being so honest,” he said.

Schantz told WTVR her family was simply doing “the right thing.”

“It didn’t belong to us,” she said.

Authorities said they do not know how the cash ended up in the middle of the street, but believe the money was being sent to a bank.

The bags have been delivered to a post office, which this time will ensure they reach their proper destination.
