Photos of the seized luxury cars that reportedly belong to ex-president of Gambia, Yahya Jammeh

Last week, Gambia's ex-president, Yahya Jammeh accepted to step down for his successor, President Adama Barrow, and is now on political exile in Guinea.

 

It has been revealed that not only did he make away with millions of dollars, but also luxury items and cars. Speaking at a press conference in the Senegalese capital Dakar, Barrow's special adviser Mai Ahmad Fatty, said that a Chadian cargo plane had transported luxury goods out of the country on Mr Jammeh's behalf in his final hours in power, including an unknown number of vehicles.

Mr Barrow's adviser said that officials at the Gambia airport have been ordered not to allow any other belongings of Jammeh to leave, including the remaining luxury cars waiting at the Airport to be shipped out. 

 

He said officials regret the situation but the major damage had been done, leaving the new government with little possibility to recover the funds. See more photos of the reported luxury cars, after the cut.

 

Angelina Jolie's alleged real reason for divorcing Brad Pitt revealed

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been involved in a messy divorce since last year, with Angelina trying to gain sole custody of their six kids by accusing Pitt of being violent towards the kids. Now it has been revealed by TMZ sources that Angelina's real reason for everything is because she is hoping to score a top position in the UN and move with her kids to London.

Moving with the kids she shares with Pitt all the way to London will not be possible except it's proven that Pitt is an unfit father and these are allegedly her reasons for trying to make Pitt out as a violent, unattentive father. The sources also revealed that Jolie and Pitt have not been getting along well for more than a year and she had been looking for an opportunity to end the marriage and leave with her kids for London believing that a move to London will bring her closer to clinching a UN job.

Jolie has allegedly been taking advice from two women, one is a member of England's House of Lords, and the other also holds a U.K. government position. These women have been convincing her of the possibility of becoming the Secretary General of the UN if she does everything right and she pays these women handsomely for their counsel. It was allegedly for this reason that she accused Pitt of abusing Maddox during a flight and got the Department of Child and Family Services, DCFS, involved in the abuse allegations.

Recall that Jolie is involved in a number of humanitarian activities and was made an Honorary Dame by Queen Elizabeth II for her humanitarian endeavours. This makes it a possibility for her to get a UN appointment if she sets her sight on it.

Meanwhile, Jolie's reps denied these allegations and said Jolie only wants what's best for the children and doesn't have any such move planned. They added that she intends to continue therapy with the kids and Brad.

Church leaders opposing the FRC policy are money launderers- Pastor Tunde Bakare says

Popular Lagos pastor and one time Vice Presidential candidate, Tunde Bakare, has described clergy men opposing the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria Act 2011, as money launderers.

The act which prohibits religious leaders from staying in office above twenty years, caused an uproar recently when it forced the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye, to hand over to a new General Overseer only for Nigeria.


Most Nigerians, particularly Christians, felt the act which had not been implemented until recently, was targeted at humiliating Christian leaders. However Pastor Bakare during his Church service yesterday, said the law was in the best interest of the country and that any clergy man who is against it is only trying to cover up his act of money laundering.

“I can testify that the law was explained to kingpins in the church, but now you want to get away because you want to cover your iniquity. You won’t get away with it. You want to get away because you have laundered money, and you are now trying to cover your yansh. I am a trained lawyer, I have read the law". Bakare said the law gives permission for church and mosque leaders to have long term stay in office but frowns specifically at Church leaders from been chief treasurers and chief administrators of their churches for more than 20 years. "The law specifically mentioned Chief Imams and pastors, that they can have lifelong terms. But it says you cannot be chief priest, chief treasurer, and chief administrator. You don’t want to comply with the law, then why did you register under the law? It is a spirit of lawlessness and the anti-Christ because the anti-Christ is a lawless spirit"he said

President Donald Trump won't release tax returns as 'most Americans' are focused on what their tax will look like not his- White House reaffirms

Kellyane Conway, Trump's presidential campaign manager and current White House senior adviser/counsellor, has revealed that Donald Trump, America's new president will not release his tax returns to the American public after completing his financial audit.

About 200,000 signatures have penned an online petition that Trump should release his tax returns but on Sunday, during an interview with ABC's "This Week," Conway revealed Trump won't release his tax returns.

 

"The White House response is that he's not going to release his tax returns," Conway said.

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn't care," she said. 

"They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: Most Americans are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like. And you know full well that President Trump and his family are complying with all the ethical rules, everything they need to do to step away from his businesses and be a full-time president."

"Our position from the campaign has not changed," Conway said.

 "He is under audit and has been advised by accountants and lawyers not to release."

Trump is the first major political party nominee since 1972 not to release his tax returns prior to an election.
