Police Officer Meagan Hall Dismissed For On-Shift Sex Romps & Illicit Affairs

 A police officer named Maegan Hall and several of her colleagues has been terminated from their positions as police officers due to their involvement in multiple workplace affairs. 

The internal investigation, conducted in December, revealed that the officers engaged in various s*xual misconduct, such as exchanging explicit photos, stripping off in a “Girls Gone Wild” hot tub party, and even having oral s*x with two other officers at a police station. 

Hall and the other officers involved, Sergeant Lewis Powell, Officer Juan Lugo, Sergeant Ty McGowan, and Detective Seneca Shields, were all dismissed as a result of their actions.

The misconduct was discovered after the Mayor of La Vergne, Jason Cole, received a tip-off about Hall’s involvement in a party with officer Magliocco and his wife, among other claims. 

Magliocco admitted to having s*x with Hall on “numerous occasions.” The investigation found that the affairs occurred in hotel rooms, other officers’ houses, and even on a boat, while they were all on the clock.

Hall reportedly claimed to be in an “open marriage” and allegedly agreed to have a party with the Maglioccos, despite her husband’s objections. 

Magliocco also claimed that Hall bragged about Powell’s “big black d***,” and that Powell performed an s*x act on him while on duty. Powell initially denied having any s*xual contact with Hall but later admitted to the affair.
Hall initially denied the s*xual relationships with Powell and Magliocco but eventually confessed and also admitted to having s*x with Lugo at a motel. 

According to the sources, two additional officers, Patrick Magliocco and Larry Holladay, who was accused of having affairs with Hall, kept their jobs but were ultimately suspended.

The internal investigation also discovered that Hall and many of the male officers had exchanged porn*graphic texts and pictures of themselves. 

This type of behavior is considered s*xual harassment, as it can lead to a hostile work environment for other employees.

In summary, a group of police officers, led by officer Maegan Hall, were terminated from their positions due to their involvement in multiple workplace affairs.

Davido Is Threatening My Daughter, Heid' - Sina Rambo's Mother-In-Law Cries Out

 Queen, the mother of singer, Sina Rambo's estranged wife, Korth, has called out Davido over alleged threats made to her daughter, IGBERETV reports.

Korth has been accused of mentioning Davido's wife, Chioma's name, during her recent rant against Sina.

Queen who claimed that Korth has received many threat messages, stated that Davido should be held responsible should anything happen to her daughter. 

The singer's mother-in-law also told those with proof that her daughter mentioned Chioma's name during her rant, to present it. 

She wrote; 

"I want the whole world to know that if anything happens to my daughter, Davido Adeleke should be held responsible as he has threatened to deal with her. My daughter is a German citizen by birth and nationality and I am tagging everybody including the bloggers to come out and present proof that my daughter Heidi insulted or called chioma out directly. I have so many threat messages to my daughter which we have ignored over a couple of days but this time, we are not ignoring this. As a mother this time I am NOT ignoring any threat to my daughter. I want the whole world to see this. We have had Enough and nobody will take my silence for granted."

APC Guber Candidates In Oyo, Rivers, Others Unhappy

 Indications have emerged to suggest that governorship candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in states controlled by aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party known as G-5 Governors are not happy with the party (APC) ahead of the general elections slated for a few months away from now.

Findings conducted by Saturday Telegraph during the week revealed that candidates of the APC in Oyo and Rivers States, Senator Teslim Folarin and Tonye Cole, are feeling alienated by the perceived decision of the leadership of the party to pay premium on wooing the opposition instead of boosting their campaigns. The leadership of the APC had in recent times been making frantic efforts to profit from the crisis within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) whose five elected governors and other stakeholders are up in arms against the party’s leadership over the continued stay of the National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, in office.

The aggrieved governors led by their Rivers State colleague, Chief Nyesom Wike, have in recent times been fraternizing with the APC, particularly its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with observers speculating likely alliance that might mean a likely trade off of the governorship candidates of the APC in the affected states.

This has however been causing some form of disquiet within the affected state chapters of the APC with many of the chieftains and stakeholders lamenting and bemoaning their fate. A source within the Oyo State chapter of the APC in a chat with Saturday Telegraph on Friday said members are currently in quandary over the continued rapport between the leaders of the party and the G-5 Governors.

“I can tell you that our members are not too encouraged with the manner with which our leaders at the national level are hobnobbing with these G-5 PDP governors. “This situation has seriously impacted on the morale of members who are wondering what is going on,” a source within the party said. Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State who is a member of the G-5 Governors has expressed his readiness to support the Presidential bid of Tinubu through his Deputy, Alhaji Bayo Lawal, endorsed the former Lagos State governor at a function of the pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, a few months ago.

“The endorsement caused some ripples within our party. Our leaders have been doing a lot to douse tension within the party because for some time now, the focus of our leaders has been on how to keep the morale of members together with a view to going into the elections as a united family,” the source said. The situation is the same in Rivers State where many chieftains are said to be very unhappy with the party.

“Many members of the APC here in River State are very unhappy with our party because of this un-holy relationship between Governor Wike and our leaders at the national level. “It is as if we don’t exist as a party here in River State. Our condition is even made worse by the continued taunting of our members by PDP members who are openly boasting that the National Headquarters of the APC listens more to them than us,” a highly placed source within the party stated in a chat with our correspondent.

Millions Missing From Usain Bolt’s Account, Jamaica Launches Probe

 Jamaican financial authorities have launched an investigation into a company holding investments for eight-times Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt after reports that he may have lost millions to large scale fraud.

Jamaica’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) said in a statement that it had placed the firm, Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), in “enhanced oversight” while it conducts the probe.

Bolt’s manager Nugent Walker told the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper that the retired sprinter, one of the greatest athletes of all time, has had investments with the company for over a decade.

“All the relevant steps have been taken to come to the bottom of this,” Walker told the paper, saying the athlete had noticed discrepancies with his account on Wednesday.

“He’s been with this entity over 10 years… His entire portfolio is being reviewed,” he added.

The newspaper said millions of dollars were reported missing from Bolt’s account. Walker was not immediately available for comment.

SSL did not respond to calls made to their office on Friday.

The FSC said it was “aware of reports of allegations of fraud at one of its licensees, Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL).”

“The FSC has issued Directions to SSL. These Directions which were dispatched to the company on Thursday January 12, 2023 are a supervisory tool to allow the FSC to engage an entity in a process of enhanced oversight,” the body said in their statement.

The FSC said the oversight process would allow them to have a “full view of the integrity of the transactions being conducted, including the movement of funds, and of securities into and out of SSL.”

“The FSC will simultaneously continue its investigations into matters related to SSL,” they added.

Bolt retired from athletics in 2017 after a stellar career which in addition to eight Olympic golds included 11 World Championship gold medals.

Bolt sprung to global fame at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when he won the 100m and 200m sprints, setting new world records in both races.

The Jamaican went on to win both races in the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Games.

Bolt’s 100m time of 9.572, set in Berlin in 2009, remains the world record and he also retains the fastest time in 200m.
