Nigerian professor pleads guilty to stealing $1.4 million from Grand Rapids preschool nonprofit
A highly acclaimed Nigerian professor at Aquinas College is facing two decades in prison after she admitted to swindling more than $1 million from taxpayers and poor minority children in West Michigan.
Nkechy Ezeh, founder and CEO of the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative, pleaded guilty last week to wire fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that forced the nonprofit to shut down after a dozen years preparing about 8,000 preschoolers for kindergarten in Kent County, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, WOOD reports.
Ezeh worked with ELNC bookkeeper Sharon Killebrew to create nearly $500,000 in fake invoices, as well as created fake daycare businesses to siphon off hundreds of thousands of dollars more, which Ezeh used for personal travel to Hawaii, Nigeria and Liberia, according to court documents cited by the news site.

Within Three Years, The Most Intolerant People On Earth Could Control The Internet
On March 15th, 2021, an anonymous Twitter user asked Harvard Medical professor Martin Kulldorff a question. “Do you think younger age groups and or people who have already had the virus need to be vaccinated?”
Who is Martin Kulldorff? He’s a Harvard Medical School professor for 21 years, a well-known Swedish biostatistician who developed widely used software for disease mapping, the co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration on how to deal with the COVID pandemic, and an advisor to the world’s leading health organizations.
What he said was that “Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should get COVID. Vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their caretakers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it, nor do children.” Click here to read more.
DOJ civil rights chief puts ex-CNN host Don Lemon ‘on notice’ for joining anti-ICE church invasion
Fired CNN host Don Lemon might get prosecuted by the Justice Department for joining anti Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters who stormed a Minnesota church service Sunday because the pastor is allegedly tied to ICE, Civil Rights Division Chief Harmeet Dhillon implied Sunday night.
The assistant attorney general had already confirmed her division was investigating potential violations of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act by the church crashers, a rare but statutorily permissible use of the 1994 law. The law has overwhelmingly been used to prosecute pro life activists who sought to blockade abortion clinics, with President Trump pardoning 23 in his first week back in office.
“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest,” Dhillon wrote, sharing quotes from Todd Starnes of Don Lemon, now an independent video journalist, who explained to viewers that crashing the church was justified by “the freedom to protest” and that “protests are not comfortable.” Click here to read more.
Tourists gunned down at Florida rental home: ‘We lost three people’
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Three people were gunned down at a Florida rental home Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
Osceola County Sheriff Chris Blackmon said at 12:14 p.m., his deputies responded to a shots fired call at the the Indian Point subdivision near Kissimmee, Florida.
When the first deputy got to the scene, he found all three victims dead from apparent gunshot wounds in front of the home.
“We lost three people, which is sad because it’s three tourists that come here to visit our area,” Blackmon said. “It’s cold-blooded. It was premeditated. There was absolutely no issues. There was no conflict between these people. This was random, and this happened to be the person that lived next door.”
Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies located the suspect — Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, of Kissimmee — in a house next to the rental property and arrested him. Click here to read more.
