The Khardashian Trust Acquires Mansion In Coachella Area Worth $12mn

2018-09-22T01:46:00.000-07:00

The Kardashian Trust has reportedly bought a $12 million mansion in the Coachella area.

The trust representing the world-famous reality TV family has decided to splash out on the seven-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot property in La Quinta's Madison Club.

The luxury abode is situated close to the site of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which is where Kylie Jenner first met her now-boyfriend Travis Scott.

A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "It lies just across the street from where the annual Coachella festival is."

The insider jokingly added: "There goes the neighbourhood."

It remains unclear which member of the Kardashian family was the driving force behind the purchase, although records show that the buyer has links to Kris Jenner, according to the Desert Sun newspaper.

Representatives for Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have denied that they were behind the purchase.

Other well-known people who live close to the Coachella site include Nike chairman Phil Knight and golf champion Phil Mickelson.

Meanwhile, Kim has reportedly insisted she's not moving to Chicago, despite her husband telling a crowd last week that he was returning to his home city and "never leaving again".

A source said: "Kim's whole life is in LA - her family, her offices, her trainer, her stylists and her staff. About 25 people would have to move with her!"

The reality TV beauty - who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago - is determined to raise her children close to the rest of her family.

The insider added: "She loves her kids growing up so close to their cousins and she loves seeing her mum and her sisters every day. She's never lived anywhere but LA, and she's upset that Kanye is saying things like this publicly when they haven't even talked about moving. She's told him it's not happening."

2015-10-22T03:35:00.001-07:00

The election tribunal sitting in Akwa Ibom State has nullified the governorship election in April 2015.

Akwa Ibom has 31 local government areas in the state.

New INEC Chairman Emerges, He Is Prof. Mahmood Yakubu

2015-10-22T03:27:00.001-07:00

At last, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a new chairman in person of professor Mahmood Yakubu. He was a former Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFUND.

Prof. Mahmood was appointed on Wednesday October 21st 2015 by President Mohammadu Buhari. He will take over from the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Mrs. Bala Zakari, after long debate on whether she should be made substantive INEC chairman or not.

The National Council of States which had an emergency meeting in presidential villa, Abuja approved the appointments of the chairman and five other national INEC commissioners.

The council is normally chaired by the President with Vice President in attendance; all living former Presidents and Heads of State; President of the Senate; Speaker of the House of Representatives; all living former Chief Justices of Nigeria and all state governors among others as members.

The meeting had the presence of Vice President Osinbajo, former Heads of State, Generals Yakubo Gowon, Ibrahim Babangida, Abdusalami Abubakar, and Chief Ernest Shonekan.

Also in attendance are Speaker Yakubu Dogara, former Chief Justices of Nigeria which included Mohammed Uwais, Alfare Belgore and Idris Kutigi, and almost all the Serving governors.

Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, told State House correspondents on behalf of the meeting, that the situation in INEC necessitated the emergency meeting which approved the appointments.

He said: "As the first Council meeting in the life of this administration, the Council received a memo on the nomination of Chairman and five Commissioners for INEC. This is in conformity with the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria particularly Sections 154 (1 and 3 and 156 (3) that confers on the President the powers to appoint a chairman and national commissioners of INEC, in consultation with the Council of States.

"The situation in INEC as at today is such that requires for this emergency meeting to approve the nominations by Mr. President, because the law requires that a minimum of four commissioners should form a quorum in INEC, which is not the case as today, because the tenures of 11 of national commissioners of INEC had expired.

"In line with this, the Council considered and confirmed the appointments of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as Chairman of INEC, Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari as member representing North West, Dr. Antonia Taiye Okoosi-Simbile as Commissioner North Central, Alhaji Baba Shettima Arfo, from Borno as Commissioner representing North East, Dr, Mohammed Mustapha Lecky from Edo as Commissioner representing South South and Prince Soyebi Adedeji Solomon from Ogun representing South West.

"The Council has agreed to stagger the confirmation of this appointment of Commissioners of INEC in view of the situation we found ourselves presently whereby the tenures of individual commissioners expired almost the same time. "So, to avert future occurrence of such a situation the Council has agreed that the next 6 of the Commissioners should be submitted to the Council subsequently for its approval. These names have been approved and would be transmitted to the NASS for confirmation", according to him.

Responding to question of whether the forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States were discussed in the meeting, Tambuwal said it was not a matter for the council but acknowledged that the new INEC chair and his team have the responsibility of conducting the elections

Kristen Taekman's husband denies having an Ashley Madison account

2015-08-25T02:40:00.001-07:00

Josh Taekman, husband to Kristen Taekman, says he has no Ashley Madison account as alleged by hackers from subscriber information stolen from Ashley Madison.

According to a report, the Real Housewives of New York City star's husband, in June 2011 reportedly signed up for an account with the affair website.

The Eboost founder was reported to have spent thousands of dollars on the site and made about 62 paid transactions. The Canada-based website connects married men and women who want to involve in extramarital affairs. The sign up is free, but subscribers must buy credits to send message to people. A fee of $49 gives subscribers 100 credits, while $250 will give users 1,000 credits and a money-back guarantee if the users don't have an affair.

Unfortunately for Josh, the address of the credit card that was used on the account matches his apartment and that of Kristen's Tribecca neighborhood.

Josh, an entrepreneur, who has two kids with the model, however denied the allegation. "I don't understand. There's not a shot in hell that I'm a subscriber. I have no knowledge of that. This is the first I've ever heard of it," he told the Daily Mail.

"This is crazy. I saw it on the TV the other day about the security breach and we were laughing about it. It is what it is but somebody is definitely fraudulently using my name and number."

His wife, Kristen Taekman has been vocal on the Bravo show about feeling invalidated by her husband of 10 years. The couple renewed their wedding vows after the hit reality show aired their couple's therapy sessions during Season 7.

Hero Sergeant Who Caught Escaped Prisoner David Sweat Is Jay Cook

2015-06-29T04:31:00.001-07:00

A veteran New York State Police sergeant was alone and on a routine patrol when he shot and captured convicted murderer David Sweat Sunday afternoon.

Officials say State Police Sgt. Jay Cook was supervising a perimeter post at about 3:20 p.m. when he spotted Sweat on a road near Route 30 in the area of Constable.

Authorities believe Sweat was trying to make a final break toward the south of the Canadian border, which is approximately 1.5 miles from New York.

New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said Cook ordered him to stop, but Sweat then turned and fled across a field.

He said When Cook, who is also a firearms instructor, realized Sweat might get away, fired two shots.

"He realized Sweat was going to make it to a tree line, and possibly could have disappeared -- and he fired two shots from his service weapon," D'Amico told reporters.

New York Escaped Prisoner David Sweat Shot, Captured After 'Nightmare' Manhunt

2015-06-29T01:50:00.001-07:00

New York prisoner, David Sweat who escaped with Richard Matt, has been shot
and captured more than three weeks after escaped from a maximum security prison in upstate New York.

Sweat is hospitalized in critical condition after he was caught in the area of Constable, New York, approximately 1.5 miles south of the Canadian border, officials said. Authorities believe Sweat was trying to make a final break toward the border.

At about 3:20 p.m. on Sunday, State Police Sgt. Jay Cook was alone on a routine patrol when he spotted Sweat on a road near Route 30 and ordered him to stop, a source familiar with the investigation said. When Sweat started to run, the sergeant opened fire, the source said.

Officials said Sweat was shot twice in the torso. Sweat was not armed, New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said.

Sweat was in critical condition at Albany Medical Center, an official there said Sunday evening, after being transferred from Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, New York.

No law enforcement personnel were injured during the capture, an official briefed on the manhunt said.

The man who escaped with Sweat, Richard Matt, was shot and killed by a border patrol SWAT team Friday afternoon in Elephant's Head, New York, just 50 miles away from the prison, after he was spotted by a law enforcement officer in the woods.

Matt and Sweat may have been using picnic-style pepper shakers to throw their scent off the dogs tracking them, D'Amico said today.

Authorities had found Sweat's DNA on remnants of food about a mile from where Matt was shot and killed.

On Friday afternoon before Matt was killed, officials announced they had reason to believe Sweat and Matt were planning to head to the border in a final play for freedom. As a result, U.S. and Canadian law enforcement sent in reinforcements in an effort to both squeeze the escapees and keep them from potentially making it out of the country.

"If you were writing a movie plot, they would say this was overdone," he said. "They were killers," Cuomo said. "Mr. Matt killed at least two people. Mr. Sweat killed a sheriff's deputy ... in a savage, savage way."

Matt was serving 25 years to life in prison after he kidnapped and beat a man to death in 1997. Sweat was serving a life sentence after he was convicted of killing a Broome County sheriff's deputy in 2002.

Muhammadu Buhari Dissolves NNPC Board

2015-06-27T07:01:00.001-07:00

Nigeria's president Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the board of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), from which billions of dollars is missing, a move likely preceding an investigation.

The head of the civil service, Danladi Kifasi, announced the presidential directive on Friday regarding NNPC, the government agency that is in charge of nearly all aspects of the country's 200 million barrel per day oil industry, whic is the seventh largest in the world.

President Buhari took office May 29 with the promise to halt the corruption that keeps the majority of Nigeria's 170 million people in deep poverty. He said last that western governments have promised to help recover looted state funds.

Friday's move comes even before he has named a Cabinet and amid speculation that he plans to take charge himself of the petroleum portfolio.

The former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria Sanusi last year largely blamed the NNPC for missing federal revenues of about $20 billion, an amount the company disputes.

Mariah Carey Posts Photo With James Packer: Check Out My New Man!

2015-06-25T00:34:00.001-07:00

Mariah Carey confirmed her relationship with billionaire James Packer. The songstress, who's on vacation with the Australian media mogul and her children in Italy, posted the shot, which also included Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara and her good friend, director Brett Ratner, to Instagram on Tuesday.

"With Kevin Tsujihara, Brett Ratner & James Packer #ratpac @ratpacent @brettrat," she wrote.

The "Infinity" singer, 45, is dressed to the nines in the photo, wearing a low-cut, floor-length gown. Meanwhile, Packer's style completely contrasted Carey's look. He wore a black T-shirt, baggy jogging pants, and a hat bearing the logo of RatPac Entertainment, the movie financing company belonging to Ratner and Packer. In fairness, we can imagine Mariah waking up like that — gown, makeup, sunglasses. That's probably her casual wear.

Carey, who is in her first high-profile relationship since her split with second husband Nick Cannon, touched down in Italy last week, posting a photo in front of a private plane and writing, "Ciao Italia!!! #yay #vacation." From there, they set sail on a yacht, making a stop in Capri.

People Magazine called Carey's relationship with Packer "brand new" though it has "been bubbling for a couple of months." The couple, who was spotted holding hands, is also "enjoying spending time with each other."

The connection between the pair is Ratner. Funny enough, there were rumors linking him to Carey earlier this year, but it seems he was just playing matchmaker for his friends.

Packer, who has also been divorced twice, most recently was linked to supermodel Miranda Kerr. Kerr, Packer, and Ratner all attended the Cannes Film Festival last month.

Next month, Carey returns to Las Vegas, where she is doing a residency at Caesars Palace.

Members of parliament are evacuated after an attack on the Afghan parliament building in Kabul, Afghanistan

Taliban Launch Brazen Attack On Afghan Parliament, Seize Second District In North

2015-06-22T06:31:00.001-07:00

A Taliban suicide bomber and six gunmen attacked the Afghan parliament on Monday, wounding at least 19 people and sending a plume of black smoke across Kabul, as a second district in two days fell to the Islamist group in the north.

The attack on the symbolic centre of power, one of the most brazen in years, along with a series of Taliban gains elsewhere, raise questions about the NATO-trained Afghan security forces' ability to cope and how far the militants can advance.

Violence has spiralled in Afghanistan since the departure of most foreign forces at the end of last year. The insurgents are pushing to take territory more than 13 years after the U.S.-led military intervention that toppled the Taliban from power.

Spokesman for Kabul police, Ebadullah Karimi, said the attack started when a Taliban fighter driving a car loaded with explosives blew up outside parliament gates, raising questions about how the driver got through several security checkpoints.

Six gunmen who took up positions in a building near parliament, were killed by Security forces after a gun battle that lasted nearly two hours.

Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said all lawmakers were safe. TV pictures showed the speaker sitting calmly and legislators leaving the building, engulfed in dust and smoke, without panicking.

Four women were among the 19 wounded, said Sayed Kabir Amiri, a health official who coordinates Kabul hospitals.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility, saying the attacked was launched there was an important gathering to introduce the country's defence minister.

The withdrawal of foreign forces and a reduction in U.S. air strikes have allowed Taliban fighters, who ruled Afghanistan with an iron fist from 1996 to 2001, to launch several major attacks in important provinces.

The second district to fall to the Taliban on Monday was in the northern province of Kunduz. Officials said it fell after urgently needed reinforcements failed to arrive.

The Taliban captured Dasht-e-Archi district a day after hundreds of militants fought their way to the centre of the adjacent district of Chardara.

Monday's heavy fighting was just three km (two miles) from the governor's compound.

Iran Deal Still Not Clear As Deadline Nears ----France's Foreign Minister

2015-06-22T05:11:00.001-07:00

France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says it was unclear whether an international deal could be reached on Iran's nuclear program by a June 30 deadline.

Fabius has however promised to meet his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday to assess where Iran stands ahead of the final round of talks on its nuclear program, which begin later in the week.

"We need to be extremely firm, at the stage where we are now, things are still not clear," Fabius said in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Monday's bilateral meeting, on the sidelines of an EU foreign ministers' summit in Luxembourg, will be followed by a meeting between Zarif and all the European parties negotiating with Iran.

"Toward the end of next week the ministers will go (to the talks), so I'd like to have an explanation and conversation to see where the Iranians are," Fabius told reporters in Cairo on Saturday, on the first day of the two-day Middle East visit.

Dylann Roof Charged With Murder In Attack On Black U.S. Church

2015-06-19T08:14:00.001-07:00

A 21-year-old white man, Dylann Roof who killed nine persons in Charlston church has been charged with nine counts of murder for an attack on a historic black South Carolina church.

Reports quoted him saying he had hoped his actions would incite a race war in the United States.

The Charleston Police Department said Dylann Roof is due to face a bail hearing later on Friday, where he will appear by video link and also face a charge of possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.

The charges come a day after his arrest in North Carolina, 220 miles (354 km) north of the nearly 200-year-old Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church where he shot dead nine black worshippers.

U.S. officials are investigating Roof's attack, in which four ministers were killed including a Democratic state senator, as a hate crime. It came in a year of turmoil in the United States, where police killings of several unarmed black men has provoked angry national debates about race relations, policing and the criminal justice system.

Roof confessed to the attack and said he intended to set off new racial confrontations with his attack, CNN reported, citing a law enforcement source.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley told NBC's "Today" show on Friday that she would prefer to see Roof tried on state charges and believed state prosecutors should pursue a death sentence.

South Carolina is one of just five U.S. states that does not have a hate crime law, which typically imposes additional penalties on crimes committed because of a victim's race, gender or sexual orientation.

President Barack Obama said Thursday the attack stirred up "a dark part" of U.S. history and illustrated the continuing dangers of the nation's liberal gun laws, which gun-rights supporters say are protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Charleston Shooting: How a Good Samaritan's 911 Call Led to Dylann Roof's Arrest

2015-06-19T03:52:00.001-07:00

A North Carolina woman's 911 call brought an end to a desperate manhunt for Dylann Roof, the alleged gunman authorities say is responsible for killing nine people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church Wednesday night.

Police has earlier released pictures from surveillance footage showing Roof, 21, as well as the car he was driving.

Debbie Dills, a bookkeeper who works at a florist shop in Kings Mountain, North Carolina said she was leaving church in her car when she looked over and saw a driver next to her with a bowl haircut.

Dills said she then thought there was something about the car that she had heard about somewhere, but couldn't place it. She then spotted the white tag that was in the police description of the shooting suspect.

The observant good Samaritan called her husband and then 911.

Police in Shelby -- about 13 miles west of Kings Mountain where Dills works and 245 miles north of the Charleston church -- said they were informed at 10:32 a.m. today "that a business had contacted them of a possible sighting of the suspect from the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting traveling into Shelby."

At 10:44 a.m., Roof was apprehended at a traffic stop in Shelby. He was taken into custody five minutes later, police said.

Roof cooperated with the officer who stopped him, according to police.

A court clerk confirmed to ABC News this afternoon that Roof waived extradition in North Carolina and is cleared to return to South Carolina.
