Photo: Two-year-old girl goes missing from MFM church during service

Two-year-old Esther Ojo pictured above, has been declared missing after she disappeared while attending last Sunday's service at a Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries’ church at the Pen Cinema, Agege area in Lagos state with her parents.

Her distraught mother who spoke with Punch, said Esther had gone to the toilet to ease herself when she went missing.


“We went to the church together and I am one of the children’s teachers. As of 12.31pm, we were still together and I was cautioning her not to step on the child sleeping on the bed until someone called me and I left where she was.

“We were almost through with the second service and I was very busy because I was rounding off the programme. The other teachers told me that Esther said she wanted to urinate and a child of a church worker took her to the toilet. The girl was the one that used to help me with Esther whenever I was busy and Esther was already used to her.

“The girl said she placed my daughter on the potty and left her there when somebody sent her on an errand to buy pure water. When she returned from the errand, I asked after my daughter and she said when she checked her in the toilet, she was not there. Ever since then, we have been looking for Esther.

“We first reported the case at the Pen Cinema Police Station, and we have also gone to the Area ‘G’ Command and the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Alagbon. They promised to radio other stations, but they later said they had not heard anything about her.” she said

Confirming the incident, the lagos state police command spokesperson, DSP Bala Elkana, said investigation into the matter was ongoing.


“We got the report and we have launched an investigation into the matter. We are making efforts to locate her whereabouts,” he stated.

Chicago Police Union calls for probe into the way Jussie Smollett's case was handled by attorney Kim Foxx

The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police is not pleased with the way Jussie Smollett's charges were dropped and the group is calling for a probe of the prosecutor's intervention.

The Chicago Police Union has requested that the Department of Justice open an investigation into Cook County state’s attorney Kim Foxx’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case.

Foxx ultimately recused herself from the investigation, but only after asking Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn the case over to the FBI following request from one of Smollett’s relatives and a former Obama administration official, according to emails and text messages obtained by the Chicago Sun Times.

The unnamed relative of Smollett's was reportedly put in contact with Foxx by Tina Tchen, a private attorney who formerly served as chief of staff to Michelle Obama and as an assistant to Barack Obama.





Tina Tchen and Kim Foxx



In an email sent just two days after Smollett filed a false police report, Foxx reached out to Tchen to let her know that she had contacted Johnson, as Tchen had previously requested.

"Spoke to Superintendent Johnson. I convinced him to reach out to FBI to ask that they take over the investigation," Foxx wrote to Tchen.

"OMG this would be a huge victory," Tchen replied to a text message from Foxx containing the same information as was included in the email.

Foxx responded: "I make no guarantees but I’m trying."







The FBI never took control of the investigation, which resulted in Smollett’s being charged with disorderly conduct, but Fraternal Order of Police president Kevin Graham believes Foxx should be investigated for trying to interfere in the investigation, Yahoo reports.

"Private attorneys are not allowed to interfere with ongoing police investigations, particularly at the request of private individuals associated with subjects being investigated by the police," Graham wrote in a letter sent Friday to John R. Lausch, the U.S. attorney in Chicago, obtained by CWBChicago.

"In order for Ms. Foxx to properly charge and try this case, her entire office should have recused itself and a special prosecutor been appointed," Graham added.

'My wife and I are cool, we are not divorced, hopefully everything will work out good ' - IK Ogbonna (Video)

Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, in a recent interview with HIP TV addressed rumours that he and his wife, Sonia Ogbonna have ended their marriage and are now divorced. 

Recall that in October 2018, fans noticed that his wife, Sonia Ogbonna dropped his last name from all her social media accounts.

The Colombian beauty who is a life coach, a blogger, and a relationship expert edited her name from Sonia Ogbonna Morales to Sonia LaReina, which fuelled the speculation that they were having trouble in their home.

Reacting to divorce rumours between himself and Sonia, the 35-year-old actor told HIP TV: 'My wife and I are cool, we are not divorced. She's back in Europe with my son, who is schooling over there.

'My wife gat her business going on and school at the same time. The fact that we are not probably like we used to doesn't mean that we are divorced. '

'We are just taking things one step at a time, taking it easy, hopefully, everything works out good tomorrow.'

Bill Cosby were you proud of what you did?Nope

Ok we will be uncanceling Bill Cosby. Sources say he was NOT proud#SurvivingCardiB— Grizzly (@Grizzly95924198) March 27, 2019


when you approach a stripper and ask to take them to your room you just agreed to prostitution. You are going to pay for sex which is illegal and punishable by jail time and you cry foul when a stripper robs you? #SurvivingCardiB pic.twitter.com/PwQU57esiY— kenz (@Bokenza1) March 27, 2019
