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.

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.'

Ifeanyi Ubah denies defecting to APC

Senator-Elect, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, has denied defecting from the Young Peoples Party YPP to APC. APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, yesterday announced that the oil magnate had crossed over to their party. Ubah also laid credence to Oshiomole's claim after he attended a dinner President Buhari hosted in honor of all APC Senator elects last night.



However in a statement released this morning, Ubah said he has not defected to the ruling APC. The statement in part reads


"Yesterday I was in Lagos with the Leadership of the Senate and over 20 other senators- elect to brief the press , after the briefing I invited our trader brothers from Trade-fair Lagos to meet the senators over the tussles our brothers are having with BPE over their assets and the rumors of privatizing the market.

Luckily, Senate Leader and by God's grace, the incoming Senate President was the chairman that resolved BBA issues in 2011 with BPE( bureau of public enterprise) and made the recommendations that they are enjoying till date and he promised to swing into action immediately to resolve their current issues again and we left Lagos to Abuja for a dinner with Mr President and APC Senators and their caucus. In the dinner, the APC Chairman introduced me as a potential APC incoming Senator, this was his quote and his view of which he's doing well in marketing me but I know my mission and have not changed from my last statement of last week. The most important thing is that I'm caucusing with the ruling party and presently have more value as a YPP senator.

I am making this forum of my constituency, Nnewi North square as the only only medium to express my view and will advise those our brothers who delight in spreading false news or are happy in maligning characters to quickly desist from such. This is a time to think about what will benefit our constituency. I will always keep you Informed as things unfold but have it at the back of your heart that I won't be that cheap a senator .
Will forward videos of my activities in Lagos that concern our people which to me is a huge success.
God bless you all.
Dr Ifeanyi Ubah ( YPP Senator Elect)
