Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event.  Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.  His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out. Strickland had been vocal in the weeks leading up to the event, insisting that his exclusion was politically motivated due to his outspoken criticism of Trump’s ties to Israel and Jeffrey Epstein.  He mocked the event online, even parodying a famous photo of Trump at the Western Wall.

 Rivers LGA Chairman Appoints 100 Aides, Just Weeks After Naming 130 Special Assistants

Chijioke Ihunwo, Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State, has appointed an additional 100 special assistants, only weeks after naming 130 new appointees to his team.


On January 18, Ihunwo shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I have appointed an additional one hundred persons as Special Assistants to help me achieve my plans for my people.”


The new appointees include Augustina Elodi, Obi Chima, Abi Chinazor Clara, Ginikachukwu Onyeagusi, Chigozie Emmanuel Esinulo, Sunday Confidence Onyinyechi, and Nworgu Namdi Emmanuel.


Earlier this month, Ihunwo also named 130 special advisers, urging them to serve diligently for the benefit of Obio/Akpor LGA. This follows a similar pattern, as in July 2024, he had appointed 100 special assistants during his tenure as caretaker committee chairman.


Ihunwo, a close ally of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has faced controversy over his actions, including the removal of Nyesom Wike’s name from the administrative block of the council secretariat in October. Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, is from Rumuepirikom in Obio-Akpor LGA, and his ongoing political rivalry with Fubara has created tension in the state.
