Steve Bannon Urges Trump To Size SpaceX And Deport Elon Musk Immediately

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon called on President Donald Trump to investigate Elon Musk’s immigration status and deport the South African tech billionaire after a bitter fight between Trump and Musk played out on Thursday, June 5.

They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon, a MAGA insider, told The New York Times on Thursday.

Musk and Trump spent much of Thursday afternoon trading words after their dispute over Trump’s agenda-setting One Big Beautiful Bill Act escalated.

During an appearance on his “Bannon’s War Room” live webcast, Bannon attacked Musk, who until recently was the head of the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE

Elon Musk is illegal, and he’s got to go,” Bannon said. “He’s illegal? Deport immediately.”

You’re going to ship these other people home. Let’s start with the South Africans, OK?” he added, alluding to the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown.

Musk, one of the largest donors to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign at roughly $250 million, was born and grew up in South Africa before he emigrated to Canada and later moved to the U.S., where he became a citizen while growing his tech empire, which includes SpaceX, the social platform X, Tesla and other endeavors.

The Washington Post reported last year that Musk worked in the country illegally before gaining citizenship, prompting questions from Bannon and others about whether Musk’s citizenship is legal.

Bannon also noted Musk’s reported drug usage as potential ammo for prompting his deportation. The New York Times reported last week that Musk’s alleged use of ketamine and other substances on the campaign trail sparked concerns in Trump circles, but Musk denied the claims.

The drug thing is going to be investigated,” Bannon said.

Trump and Musk’s relationship began to sour in recent days as Musk lashed out over the Trump-backed megabill currently under review in Congress. Musk called it a “disgusting abomination,” while Trump pushed back and defended the bill.

Bannon said he supports Trump’s latest suggestion that Musk’s massive government contracts should be pulled

It needs dramatic action. I would pull all the contracts immediately,” Bannon said.

He also blasted Musk’s attacks against Trump, which escalated Thursday to a series of accusatory posts on his X platform that attempted to link Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and claim credit for Trump’s election win.

President Trump empowered him more than anyone has ever been empowered in this government, had his back, promoted this guy, even when people like me said, ‘You’re making a mistake. This is a bad guy. He’s going to turn on you. He’s not with us. He’s also totally incompetent,’” Bannon said on War Room.

Then as soon as President Trump comes out today, and President Trump saying it in the nicest way possible about the bill … the guy gets up and starts tweeting the most vicious stuff you can tweet.”

Days after meeting Tinubu, Osun APC sends message to Gov Adeleke

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has issued a warning the state governor, Ademola Adeleke.

The party’s warning to the Osun State governor comes days after Adeleke visited President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja.

Adeleke was at the Presidential Villa alongside his older brother, Adedeji and his nephew, David.

This particular visit to the president has raised concerns over the possibility that the governor might be nursing defection plans in order to secure a second-term bid as governor of the state.

However, speaking at the Tinubu/Shettima campaign office in Osogbo, a chieftain of the ruling party, Timothy Owoeye said the governor would not be joining the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Owoeye also told Adeleke that the APC governorship ticket in Osun State is not for sale.

According to him, the Osun chapter of the party does not need Adeleke to win elections in the state.

I’m saying this categorically that APC tickets are not for sale. As a matter of fact, as of today, we don’t see Adeleke as a member or part of APC as a party. Let me be sincere with you, the APC in Osun is the party to beat

I want to tell you that if not because of the fear of the unknown that is disturbing the Adeleke family and the PDP, they wouldn’t have been showing the intention of coming to the APC,” Owoeye said.

He also said that the APC is strongly positioned to oust the PDP government led by Adeleke out of the state.

Oworye noted that there is no vacancy in the APC for PDP members and the governor to fill at the moment.

Ex-Worker At Bishop Oyedepo’s House Speaks Out:’Threatened For Telling The Truth About Worker’s Conditions

A former staff member who previously worked in Bishop David Oyedepo’s residence has come forward with troubling revelations about worker conditions—and claims to now be receiving threats for speaking up.

In a now-viral series of social media posts, the individual, known on X as @greatness0220, detailed their experiences while employed in the household of the influential preacher and founder of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel.

You come to my DM to threaten me cos I spoke up about the treatment workers receive in Papa’s house,” they wrote, adding that they left the church for the sake of their mental health. “Mind you, it was my church before, but I had to stop for my mental health.”

In an earlier post that attracted significant attention, the ex-worker gave a chilling account of life behind the scenes:

“I worked in Bishop Oyedepo’s house, and they throw food away every day but you as a cook dare not eat even in the kitchen. They have CCTV cameras in the kitchen that is watched 24/7. Security are always looking hungry and haggard. It’s a sad sight.”

The post was shared alongside a tweet from tech entrepreneur Osaretin Victor Asemota, who echoed similar sentiments about poor treatment in the homes of the wealthy.

The incident has sparked a flurry of online debate, with many users expressing outrage and demanding accountability, especially from institutions that operate in the name of faith and service.

While the church has yet to officially respond, the whistleblower is standing firm:

I just want them to fix their workers’ welfare—especially the low-level workers.”

This story continues to gain momentum online as questions mount about the labor conditions within faith-based institutions.

Nasboi Survives Auto Crash While pursuing Davido Collaboration

Skitmaker and musician Lawal Nasiru, popularly known as Nasboi, has survived a car accident while attempting to secure a feature for his upcoming song with Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, aka Davido.

Nasboi revealed on Tuesday that his vehicle collided with a parked trailer.

The entertainer embarked on an ambitious road trip about seven days ago, travelling across Nigeria’s 36 states in a bid to capture Davido’s attention and collaborate on a potential hit track.

Although the exact location of the accident was not disclosed, the incident has sparked widespread concern among fans and supporters, many of whom have taken to social media to express their relief and sympathy.

Shortly after the crash, Nasboi went live on social media to reassure his followers that he was safe and recovering.

In the live video, he was calm and stated that he did not blame the accident on his journey.

He said, “This could have happened in Lagos, too. I don’t even know how it happened; I’m just laughing.

At this point, I think I need to give up. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. We are all good.”

Troops Intercept Truck Loaded With Live Ammunition In Anambra, Notorious Gunrunner Arrested

In a major breakthrough against arms smuggling, troops of Sector 5 of Operation UDO KA, working in collaboration with operatives of the 63 Brigade and the Department of State Services (DSS), have intercepted a truck carrying over 164,000 live cartridges in Anambra State.

The dramatic bust happened along the Asaba–Onitsha expressway on 29 May 2025, following credible intelligence reports. Security operatives swiftly moved in and apprehended the suspected gunrunner, Mr. Emeka Omenife, who was allegedly transporting the deadly cargo.

According to intelligence sources, Omenife was immediately handed over to the DSS for interrogation. During questioning, he reportedly confessed to being part of an international ammunition trafficking syndicate that moves weapons from Ghana to Nigeria.

Acting on the confession, troops launched a follow-up operation and arrested another suspect, Mr. Uchenna Obiora, at the Onitsha–Awka tollgate on 30 May 2025, as he awaited the delivery of the deadly consignment.

The operation successfully led to the interception of the truck carrying the massive cache of ammunition, which had been carefully concealed to avoid detection.

Authorities have vowed to continue cracking down on arms trafficking networks threatening the nation’s peace and security.

Bukayo Saka: Arsenal star snubs presenter who asked for quick interview

Bukayo Saka snubbed interview at Spanish Grand Prix, leaves presenter hanging

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka made headlines off the pitch on Sunday after declining an on-grid interview during the Spanish Grand Prix in Catalunya, where he appeared alongside the rest of the England squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Andorra on June 6.

The England team, enjoying a rare break from the pitch, was spotted on the start/finish line, much to the delight of Sky Sports presenter Simon Lazenby and 2016 Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg, who were hoping for some star-studded pre-race content in the absence of traditional grid walk host Martin Brundle.

While Harry Kane was happy to share a few words — saying, “I’m good, I’m hot, but looking forward to the race, it’s my first one” — the exchange with Saka fell flat.

When approached by Lazenby for a quick chat, the usually cheerful Arsenal winger tersely replied, “I don’t like to say.”

The moment prompted an awkward chuckle from Rosberg, who remarked, “He’s not very friendly.”

The focus quickly shifted to Newcastle defender Dan Burn, who was much more receptive and even challenged the suggestion that England’s clash with Andorra would be a mere formality.

Saka and his England teammates will now turn their focus to securing a crucial World Cup qualifying win in Andorra.

Nigeria Would be Far worse Without Prayer-Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said the power of prayer over the nation has kept the nation saying, “Some say, ‘You’ve been praying and fasting — where is the result?’ I laugh. If we had not prayed, Nigeria would have been in a far worse state. Let’s not stop”.

He also declared that RCCG operates under a divine shield — a supernatural covering that has preserved the church from calamities since its inception.

Speaking on Sunday during the monthly Thanksgiving service and special prayer for security and paramilitary personnel at the RCCG national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Adeboyeadded, “There is a God who rules in the affairs of men. If those praying would pause for just one week, the difference would be terrifying. Keep praying. God controls the hearts of kings.”

Adeboye preaching on the topic “Shadow of the Almighty,” talked about miraculous accounts that point to what he described as the “peculiarity” of RCCG under God’s shadow.

He said, “I never preach church or denomination, but there is something peculiar about the Redeemed Christian Church of God. There is a shield over the RCCG — unseen but undeniably present.

Adeboye recalled how a building in the United States, which hosts an RCCG house fellowship, was the only one spared in a row of 15 houses during a devastating flood. “House after house was flooded, but house number eight — the only one with a sign that read, ‘House Fellowship of RCCG holds here’ — remained untouched,” he said.

He also cited a fire incident in March at Otedola Bridge, Lagos, where a blaze razed multiple buildings but mysteriously spared an RCCG structure. “The buildings before and after were consumed, yet the RCCG building was left standing. That is not a coincidence — that is divine covering,” Adeboye said as the church’s media team projected the image during his sermon.

He emphasized that although God’s protective presence may not always be visible, it is powerful and ever-present for those who abide in Him. “Your security is only assured in Him. Whether in peace or war, young or old, the Almighty casts a shadow of protection over His own,” he declared.

Earlier in the service, his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, led a passionate session of prayer for the peace and progress of Nigeria and those in leadership. “Let’s ask God to show our president mercy and give him peace, so that he may enjoy his time in office,” she prayed.

The Thanksgiving service, which also honored security and paramilitary forces, highlighted RCCG’s ongoing commitment to spiritual intercession for Nigeria’s peace and divine protection for its people.Source
