 Governor Alex Otti Highlights How Kidnappers, Bandits Were Dislodged from Abia Communities in Abia Third Anniversary Speech Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his administration inherited a security crisis in which kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal gangs held several communities hostage before being dislodged through sustained operations. Speaking during his third anniversary celebration at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Friday, Governor Otti revealed that bandits had established camps inside forests across the state, from where they launched attacks on innocent residents, causing panic and displacement. “Security was a major challenge in the state three years ago. Several communities were held hostage as kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal groups set up camps in the forests from where they launched sporadic attacks on innocent Abians,” Otti said.

 Billy Crystal says comedy legend Milton Berle slapped him in the face twice during wild encounters


Billy Crystal recently recalled two unforgettable encounters with comedy legend Milton Berle, both of which ended with him being slapped. 


Speaking with Stephen Colbert, Crystal explained that during a taping of Steve Allen’s show, he sat between Berle and Carl Reiner. 


When technical issues paused the recording, Berle seized the moment to entertain the audience with his trademark antics. 


After receiving a standing ovation, Berle returned to his seat and unexpectedly smacked Crystal, telling him he needed to be “hipped into the ground.”


A couple of weeks later, Crystal ran into Berle again at Spago in Los Angeles while dining with comedian Alan King. Berle, seated nearby, spent the evening making faces and gestures at Crystal before approaching their table. 


He then performed a hilarious impression of Jerry Lewis directing a movie, which left Crystal in stitches. 


Once again, Berle capped off the bit by slapping him across the face, reinforcing his eccentric way of “teaching” comedy.


Crystal also remembered Berle’s antics during his televised 90th birthday celebration in 1998, where Berle kissed him on the lips mid-performance and joked that Crystal was a “lousy straight man.” Known as “Mr. Television,” Berle had a reputation for stealing jokes, which Crystal playfully referenced during the event. 


Despite the slaps and surprises, Crystal’s stories highlight Berle’s unpredictable humor and the larger-than-life personality that made him a pioneer of early television comedy.
