The president of the United States of America, Donald and and his wife, Melania Trump flew in to Normandy on Thursday to join leaders of the Allied nations who gathered to mark the 75th anniversary of the greatest military invasion in history.

Mr Trump joined French President Emmanuel Macron, Theresa May and Justin Trudeau in paying tribute to the brave men who fought in Operation Overlord – the Allied invasion of France.

The President told crowds at the American ceremony near Omaha beach, where the majority of US troops fell, that those who died ‘won back this ground for civilization’.

At one point during his speech the Trump stopped midway through to hug one of the veterans Russell Pickett, 94, who was a 19-year-old private during the landings at Omaha.

Russell Picket is the last known survivor of the legendary company A,’ Trump told the gathered crowds. ‘Today, believe it or not, he has returned once more to these shores to be with his comrades. Private Picket, you honor us all with your presence.’

Macron helped Picket stand and then Trump came over to give him a hug. He also whispered in the veteran’s ear.

‘Tough guy,’ Trump said when he returned to the podium.

From dawn on June 6 1944 – known as the Longest Day – 156,000 troops left landing craft and raced on to the sand along the Normandy coast to smash Hitler’s Nazis – supported by 250,000 more men supporting them from the sea and air.

These brave men, from all corners of the world, gained a foothold in France that turned the Second World War and would lead to the liberation of Europe within a year.

Trump said in his speech to veterans gathered at the famous battlefield that the bond between the Allied nations who fought on D-Day is ‘unbreakable’.

‘We are gathered here on Freedom’s Altar. On these shores, on these bluffs, on this day 75 years ago, ten thousand men shed their blood-and thousands sacrificed their lives-for their .........

Sahara Reporters have released audio tape that allegedly caught the moment Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, discussing how himself and some of his senior executives would cover up a N500 billion allegedly stolen from the apex bank, has surfaced online.

Emefiele and his Deputy Edward Lametek Adamu alongside the Director for Finance in the apex bank, Dayo M. Arowosegbe as well as one of the Special Advisers to the CBN Governor, Emmanuel Ukeje, in the tape were discussing on how to cover up the loss of over N500billion stolen from the CBN in a private investment that flopped.



Below is how Sahara Reporters shared the story

Two authentic telephone audio tapes exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters reveal how the governor and top officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria haggled over plots to conceal the loss of huge sums of monies in a Dubai investment according to sources at the bank.

Emefiele is heard saying in the audio to the deputy governor Adamu: “To avoid any serious problem is just, the government to have to agree to give us at least 100 billion cash but the government will not agree.They will kick against it”.

Expressing fear over what the opposition will say about the loss of the money which will slip Nigeria into hard times, the CBN governor can be heard in the audio saying: “How do I handle this? to which the deputy governor replied “we have to rack our brain and do something out because we can’t afford it at all, not at this time. Emefiele replies “the implication for the economy is, no no, no”.

“The opposition will say it should have depreciated in the project.

The tapes revealed how the top officials managing Nigeria’s central bank connived and conspired to cover up financial fraud which has affected the Nigerian economy.

Mr. Emefiele a former Managing Director of Zenith Bank of Nigeria was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan to head the CBN in June 2014.

Since assuming the governorship of the Central Bank taking over from now embattled Emor of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, it has been reported that the Central bank Governor has engaged in a series financial scams including foreign currency manipulation, money laundering and roundtripping to favor a group of politically exposed persons close to President Muhammadu Buhari.

He was the governor of the Central Bank when Nigeria slipped into the worse recession in 29 years.

Last week, Mr. Emefiele was renominated for a five-year tenure by President Buhari.

These audio clips show Emefiele discussing extensively with top officials of the bank to conceal the loss made with the shareholders’ funds from commercial banks, the monies were reportedly diverted to invest in Dubai to the tune of N500 Billion sometimes towards the end of 2018 and they reportedly lost that investment.

Emefiele repeatedly lamented the hopelessness of a way out of the problem: “I’ll have to think of a way out because we cannot afford it at all.

“The implications are just too many to even think about and damaging. We cannot allow this like this, we cannot” he said.

In the discussions captured on tape, top financial officers at the CBN blamed one Arowosegbe and at several points contemplated cooking up the books, discarding several ideas.

At some point in the conversation, they plotted to ask the federal government for the shortfall through.....

A Detroit mother was allegedly fatally shot and killed by her 9-year-old adoptive. It was reported by family members that the deceased had told doctors she feared she was ‘raising the next serial killer’ just months before her death.

Pauline Randol, 51, was found dead early Monday morning at her home on Fawn River Township having suffered a fatal gun-shot wound.

The gunman responsible, police say, was her nine-year-old son who she adopted from Indiana three years ago.

Investigators believe the boy, who hasn’t been named because of his age, opened fire on Pauline with a rifle he found inside the home.

He now faces murder and firearm charges, though it’s unclear whether he’ll be prosecuted as an adult or juvenile.
