The bail of Derek Chauvin, the white police officer charged with murder in the killing of George Floyd two weeks ago, has been increased from $500,000 to $1.25 million on Monday afternoon.

Chauvin, a 19-year veteran of the police force has been behind bars since he was arrested on May 29 following Floyd's death that has sparked protests of racial inequality all over the world.

Chauvin faces charges of second-degree manslaughter and second-degree murder, and participated in his initial court hearing at the heavily fortified Hennepin County courthouse on a video feed from jail.

Mr. Chauvin, who placed his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd for nearly nine minutes in a video showing Floyd's killing could face up to 40 years in prison. and is referred to as the most hated man in the world.

The bail set for Mr. Chauvin is higher than the bail of at least $750,000 given last week to the other three rookie officers accused of aiding and abetting in Mr. Floyd’s death. All four men were fired the day after Mr. Floyd died.

On that evening of May 25, Mr. Floyd, sitting in a nearby car, stiffened when the officers tried to put him in the back of their police car after getting a call from a nearby store alleging Floyd had used a counterfeit $20 bill.
Floyd fell to the ground, according to an arrest affidavit. Then Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck.

Mr. Floyd struggled as the rookie officers held Mr. Floyd’s back and legs, and began saying he could not breathe, the affidavit says.

Chauvin held his left knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, while Mr. Floyd still said “I can’t breathe” and “Mama” and then, after a time, stopped talking as he became unconscious. By the time he was taken to hospital he was pronounced dead.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
