 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.

 Court finds Natasha guilty of contempt over Facebook post, slams N5m fine


A Federal High Court in Abuja today found suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan guilty of contempt of court. 


Justice Nyanko held that by posting a satirical letter on her Facebook page on April 27 while the April 4 order subsisted, Natasha was in contempt of court.


Justice Binta Nyako issued the ruling during proceedings in a suit filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan, who is challenging her suspension from the Senate.


Before considering the main suit, the court addressed a contempt application brought by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. 


Akpabio argued that the senator’s satirical Facebook post violated a prior court order restraining all parties from making public or online comments related to the case.


Akpoti-Uduaghan’s lawyers argued that the post had nothing to do with her suspension and instead referred to separate sexual harassment allegations involving Akpabio, the third respondent in the suit.


However, Justice Nyako ruled that the post was indeed linked to the suspension case and constituted a violation of the court’s directive.


The court held Akpoti-Uduaghan in contempt and ordered her to issue a written apology within seven days in two national newspapers and on her Facebook page. She was also fined ₦5 million.
