His comments subsequently drew the attention of the university management.
A suspension notice issued by the university was released on Thursday, August 13, 2026.

The statement was signed by Chijioke Nwogu, the Public Relations Officer/Deputy Registrar of Abia State University.

A couple identified as Dakota McIe, 23, and Ciarra Lacey, 22, are facing charges of child neglect and animal abuse after authorities were reportedly alerted to the conditions inside their residence.

According to reports, a child and three dogs were allegedly being kept inside the residence, which was described as being heavily infested with insects and filled with trash, waste and human vomit.

The conditions reportedly extended to areas close to where the child slept.
According to footage reportedly provided to authorities by an eyewitness, large swarms of flies could be seen around the kitchen, including near piles of rotting food and garbage.

The witness reportedly said the condition of the property created such a strong odour that they became nauseated.

The residence also reportedly had no air conditioning, while part of the bathroom was said to be unusable.

According to deputies with the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office, officers who responded to the residence allegedly found three dogs confined inside cages that smelled strongly of urine.

The animals were reportedly found without visible food or water, prompting authorities to call animal control to remove them from the property.

Child Protective Services was also contacted following the discovery.

The child, whose age and sex have not been disclosed, was subsequently placed in the custody of a grandparent.
Lacey reportedly remains in custody at Tygart Valley Regional Bail on a $30,000 cash-only bond.

McIe, meanwhile, was released on August 11 after posting his $5,000 bond.

Former Tory minister Ann Widdecombe has been laid to rest near her home in Devon following her death at the age of 78.

Widdecombe died on July 8, 2026, at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon.

A private requiem Mass was held in her memory at Buckfast Abbey, a place where the former MP was reportedly a regular worshipper.

The service included a homily delivered by the Rt Rev David Charlesworth, Abbot of Buckfast, as family and close associates gathered to remember her life.

Widdecombe had a long career in British public life, having served as a Conservative MP before later becoming a spokeswoman for Reform UK.

Her connection with Buckfast Abbey was also personal, as she was known to worship regularly at the Abbey Church before her death.

Her funeral therefore provided an opportunity for those close to her to remember her in a place that had been significant to her faith.
The former politician died after she was reportedly attacked at her home in Haytor.

According to reports, she was struck repeatedly with a hammer while having lunch at the property.

A 28-year-old man, Joshua Kerry, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was subsequently charged with her murder on July 20.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

The rescue operation was carried out on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, by troops of Sector 3, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP).

According to a military source who spoke to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the troops launched a search operation at about 7:00 a.m. after receiving information about the kidnapping.

The soldiers reportedly intensified their search and eventually tracked the suspected kidnappers to the Rafin Bauna general area in Bassa Local Government Area of the state.

The military source said the troops came under pressure while conducting the search operation, prompting the suspected kidnappers to abandon Mrs Alfred and flee into the surrounding area.

The woman was subsequently located and rescued by the troops.

A 33-year-old Canadian woman identified as Kaitlyn Tracey has been ordered to leave the United States after she admitted to assaulting a teenage girl who was wearing pro-Trump clothing on a New Jersey boardwalk.

Tracey, who was at the centre of a viral video showing her confronting the teenager, pleaded guilty to one count of simple assault during her court proceedings.

She was sentenced to one day in jail, but was not required to serve any additional time behind bars.
The incident took place on July 3 at Point Pleasant Beach, where Tracey reportedly approached a group of teenagers wearing patriotic clothing featuring references to Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to police, Tracey began filming the teenagers with her phone while confronting them about their clothing.

She then allegedly struck one of the girls around the shoulder before slapping her across the face.

The teenager was reportedly not injured in the incident.

Police later identified Tracey after reviewing surveillance footage from the area. She eventually turned herself in after authorities issued a warrant for her arrest.
Tracey was initially facing several charges, including endangering the welfare of a child, assault, harassment and obstruction.

However, most of the charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement that saw her admit to a single misdemeanor simple assault charge.

Prosecutors said the teenager’s family supported the agreement.
Separate from the criminal case, Tracey has also faced an immigration matter.

A government investigation reportedly determined that she had remained in the United States unlawfully, resulting in an order requiring her to leave the country.

Terrifying scenes have emerged from Colombia after a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the western part of the country on Monday, sending people running for safety as buildings shook violently.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

Videos circulating online showed frightened residents rushing away from buildings as the ground trembled, with some structures visibly affected by the powerful shaking.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred near San José del Palmar in Colombia’s Chocó department, at a depth of approximately 107 kilometres.

The tremor struck at about 7:34 a.m. local time, and its effects were felt across several parts of the country.

The earthquake caused significant damage in parts of western Colombia, with officials reporting collapsed buildings, injuries and people trapped beneath debris.

In the regional capital Quibdó, authorities reported injuries and severe structural damage as emergency teams began assessing the situation.

The situation remained fluid as rescue workers searched damaged buildings for survivors.

Later reports indicated that the death toll had risen sharply, with at least 111 people reported killed and 87 injured, while hundreds of buildings were damaged across affected areas. Rescue operations were continuing as authorities worked to determine the full extent of the destruction.

The earthquake was also felt in other Colombian cities, including Cali, Pereira and Manizales, as well as parts of neighbouring countries.
Chocó Governor Nubia Carolina Córdoba Curi warned residents about the possibility of further seismic activity as emergency authorities assessed the damage.

In a statement shared on X, she said:

“We have just experienced a severe seismic event in the department of Chocó. We are concerned about aftershocks.

“Although the epicenter was in San José del Palmar, in the capital Quibdó there are injuries and severe damage to buildings. We are already conducting the damage assessment to issue the first official report.”

Authorities continued to urge caution as emergency personnel assessed buildings and worked to reach people who may have been trapped.

The disaster comes less than two months after a major earthquake sequence struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded two powerful earthquakes in northern Venezuela that day, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, with the events causing significant ground movement and damage in the region.

The latest disaster has once again placed parts of northern South America under intense focus as emergency crews in Colombia continue their search-and-rescue operations.

OMG, this is terrifying. Footage showing the shaking from the M7.2 earthquake that hit Colombia earlier.

The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, has pushed back against claims that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu lives an extravagant lifestyle, particularly amid the economic difficulties confronting many Nigerians.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

Adedeji made the remarks during an interview with Channels Television, where journalist Seun Okinbaloye questioned him about the lifestyles of political office holders and whether they reflect the economic realities faced by ordinary Nigerians.

Responding to the discussion, Adedeji argued that the president’s personal lifestyle is far removed from some of the claims circulating on social media, including suggestions that Tinubu regularly uses expensive luxury vehicles such as Cadillac Escalades.

According to the revenue service chairman, Tinubu does not routinely use vehicles to move between his residence and office.

He said:

“Mr President goes from home to office on foot, not even driving except when he is going to the airport. I don’t know where you see the convoy. Before he became president, what is he riding?

“How much is an Escalade that the president of Nigeria cannot afford? Please don’t embarrass this country.

“What is living large? In the last months, he has not even left the shores of this country, trekking and working. If you go there now, you will see him review one document or the other.

“So what is living large? The president eats once in a day. How many parties have you seen him at in the last three years? Tell me where you have seen him, whether on holiday or anywhere?”
