Piers Morgan calls for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be stripped of their titles after Meghan hits out at Donald Trump

Piers Morgan has called for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be stripped of their titles after Meghan hit out at Donald Trump.



The Duchess of Sussex was a surprise guest on Michelle Obama’s When All Women Vote event on Thursday, August 20, and appeared to take a dig at the President ahead of the election, saying: "We all know what’s at stake".



Meghan said: "We vote to honour those who came before us and to protect those that come after us…that's what community is all about and that's specifically what this election is all about.



"We all know what's at stake this year. I know it, I think all of you certainly know it if you are here at this fun event with us.



"You’re just as mobilised and energised to see the change we all need and deserve. This fight is worth fighting and we all need to be out there mobilising to have our voices heard.



"If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. If you are complacent, you are complicit."



Meghan's comment angered Piers Morgan and he accused her of breaching royal protocol as royals are advised not to give political opinions.



In a tweet on Friday evening, the Good Morning Britain host urged the Queen to remove Harry and Meghan’s titles.



Piers wrote: "The Queen must strip the Sussexes of their titles. They can't remain as royals & spout off about foreign elections in such a brazenly partisan way."



He added: "Last time I checked she's still calling herself the Duchess of Sussex".

Remove Obasanjo and Wike as speakers at our conference- Muslim lawyers tell NBA leadership

 

The Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria has asked the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association to remove ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, as speakers at the forthcoming Annual General Conference of the NBA scheduled for August 26 to 29.

 

This is coming on the heels of the leaderships decision to disinvite Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai from the AGM after some lawyers demanded he be disinvited. The lawyers argue that Governor El-Rufai has been overtime accused of human rights abuses.

 

The NBA leadership bowed to the pressure from the lawyers and disinvited the governor. Read here. This has however been met with stiff opposition. Members of the Jigawa state chapter and the Bauchi state chapter have threatened to boycott the AGM if the decision to disinvite the governor is not reversed.

 

In an interview with Punch on Saturday, August 22, the president of the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria, Ibrahim Abikan, said his association has objected to having Obasanjo and Wike as speakers at the conference because they are allegedly guilty of the same allegations filed against Governor el-Rufai.

 

“We insist that if any standard is set for withdrawing el-Rufai, the same should apply to other speakers too. El-Rufai is a public officer and any other person who has the same record of allegations of human rights abuses should also be disqualified. We expect that the same standard should apply to Obasanjo and Wike.

People have started forwarding petitions to me of allegations of human rights abuses and disrespect for the rule of law against Obasanjo and Wike. They have started forwarding it to NBA Conference Planning Committee and the NBA as a body.

Our position is that whoever is going to be speaker should be able to give us quality presentation.” Abikan  said

 

The immediate past president of MULAN, Funminiyi Adeleke, in a separate interview, also condemned the decision of the association's leadership to disinvite Governor el-Rufai. He argued that Obasanjo and Wike do not have the pedigree to be speakers at the AGM.

 

“We looked at the parameters upon which el-Rufai was dis-invited. Other speakers on that platform are equally guilty. For instance, Obasanjo is one of the worst abusers of human rights in Nigeria. We know what happened at various times when he was in the military and when he came back as a civilian leader.

He doesn’t have the pedigree to be a speaker.

What of Wike? Wike is the first governor to declare his state as a Christian state, which is an affront to Section 10 of the Nigerian Constitution which states that no state shall adopt a religion as the state religion.

But even when confronted, Wike continues to say that Rivers is a Christian state. He has committed a lot of atrocities – he destroyed mosques, hotels, he did a lot of things and we have a catalogue on them.

Our position is that the NBA should drop Obasanjo and Wike and get any other person because if you dis-invited el-Rufai for disregard for the rule of law, the two other speakers on the platform are equally guilty.” Adeleke said

 

 Other speakers at the conference with the theme, ‘Step Forward’, include Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo; House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila; Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad; Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

Update: Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire released from Police custody after pleading not guilty over alleged police altercation in Mykonos

 

Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire has been released after pleading not guilty to charges following an alleged altercation with police while on holiday on the island of Mykonos. 

 

The 27-year-old England international was released from police custody pending a hearing which will be heard on the island of Syros on Tuesday, August 25. 

 

Maguire will be represented at the hearing by his legal team, meaning he is free to travel back to Manchester this weekend.

 

 

A Manchester United statement said: “Following the appearance in court today we note the adjournment of the case to allow the legal team to consider the case file.

 

“Harry has pleaded not guilty to the charges. It would be inappropriate for the player or club to comment further while the legal process takes its course.”

 

Maguire was one of three men arrested by police on the island of Mykonos in the early hours of Friday morning, August 21.

 

Reports said he was involved in an altercation with other British tourists last night. When the officers tried to intervene, three men including the England international allegedly fought back physically and verbally while resisting arrest.

 

A statement by the Hellenic Police alleged that one of their officers was hit in an altercation with the three men, who later "resisted, pushing and beating" officers when transported to a police station.

 

"Three foreigners, aged 27, 28 and 29, were arrested today (August 21, 2020) in Mykonos by police officers of the Mykonos police department," the statement read.

 

"Patrolling police officers in the area of Mykonos intervened and normalised a dispute between citizens, however, three foreigners involved in the incident turned against them, insulting and hitting a police officer with fists.

 

"The three foreigners were taken to the Mykonos police station, where upon their arrival they strongly resisted, pushing and beating three police officers.

 

"One of the detainees then tried to offer money so that the trial against them would not be completed. The arrested (men) were taken to the Syros prosecutor's office."
