 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities. He also noted he was leaving the venue early due to jet lag from traveling between Europe and the U.S. to support Williams’ tennis comeback.  While he expressed r...

 NAF Debunks Viral Video Of Helicopter Wreckage 


Nigerian Airforce has debunked a video circulating on social media platforms allegedly depicting the wreckage of the crashed MI-171 helicopter with bodies of victims at Chukuba village in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.


In a statement by Director of Public Relations and Information of the Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet says while it is not in the character of NAF to respond to such claims, particularly one peddled by terrorists, concerns expressed by well-meaning Nigerians on the need to address the propaganda becomes imperative.


According to the statement  like all military organisations involved in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations, incidences of fatalities, mishaps and crashes are sometimes inevitable.


It notes that NAF in the last 8 years had increased its level of air operations aimed at checkmating the nefarious activities of criminal elements across the country.


It explains that while the NAF regrets such unfortunate incidents especially as they involve the loss of lives of personnel, the service will never shy away from unraveling the probable cause of the crash with a view to drawing lessons.


The statement called on those aiding and abetting the propaganda tendencies of terrorists either deliberately or inadvertently by spreading the videos of the alleged crash site with gory pictures of dead military personnel to rethink the consequences of their actions on the morale of troops, families of deceased personnel as well as on Nigeria's national security imperatives.


The statement assured that the determination of the Armed Forces to bring the current security situation in Niger State and indeed all troubled spots in the country remains unshaken, until enemies are brought to their knees.
