Donald Trump was taken off the stage by security personnel during a Saturday night rally in Reno, Nev., when a man appeared to rush the stage.
The Republican presidential nominee noticed a protestor in the crowd and told event security to remove him.
But as Trump looked out over the crowd to spot the protestor, two men in suits ran to the stage, grabbed him by the shoulders and rushed him behind the curtain.
A group of security officials jumped over the barricade, protecting the stage and looking into the crowd, backing up shocked attendees who tried to take video of the protestor. Images emerged on social media of armed guards encircling someone on the ground.
Security led a bald man out of the convention hall as the crowd cheered and also booed the protestor. Moments later, a rally speaker took to the stage to tell the unsettled crowd that "nobody is going to stop this movement." Trump returned to the stage moments later to continue his speech. The energetic crowd cheered his return.
Trump, who didn't appear unsettled, briefly addressed the incident before jumping back into his speech. "Nobody said it was going to be easy for us, but we will never be stopped. Never ever be stopped," Trump said. "I want to thank the Secret Service. These guys are fantastic – they don't get enough credit," he said.
A few minutes later, the businessman paused to thank his supporters for helping to protect him as the man rushed the stage. "I want to thank all these people," he said, pointing to the area where the man was stopped.
"I saw what you were doing – that's a tough group of people right there. I saw that, that was pretty amazing. Nobody messes with our people," he said.
After the rally, MSNBC's Jacob Rascon tweeted a picture of what appeared to be heavily armed police officers guarding a bathroom where the man had presumably been taken by officers.

Mercy Johnson-Okojie reveals it was difficult to get Movie Roles because of her Dark Skin

In an exclusive interview with Punch Newspaper’s Saturday Beats, Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has revealed that when she first started out as an actress, some producers did not give her certain roles simply because she wasn’t light-skinned.
She said in the interview,
““It is very true that when I was starting out in the movie industry, it was difficult to get roles because of my complexion. I faced that a lot and I tell people that my success is just grace. Somebody once told me that I am too dark but that is where the grace and favour of God comes in. Regardless of everything, most of the dark-skinned actresses that are my contemporaries made it.”

According to reports, Bishop David Oyedepo in a telecast to a pre-Shiloh 2016 Convention gathering of his church urged those criticizing the school fees charged by Covenant University to desist to avoid incurring the wrath of God.
He told them the story of one critic who had developed a strange plague of chronic mouth odour over the act the person only received a spiritual solution following his confession and “my intervention before he was restored to dignity”.
Bishop Oyedepo stated that the issue of school fees paid by students of the university was a godly agenda to meet the demands of raising godly children in an environment conducive for learning.
He said such criticisms were products of ignorance as what students pay could not be compared with what obtained elsewhere that lacked facilities. According to him, “The school fees has Gods approval and is in accordance with the quality of facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the nation.”
