Sources told one of our correspondents that the youth carted away all the properties in the building and took the father of the suspected killer to the police. “They broke the windows and the glass doors with pebbles and sticks, and carted away everything in the building,” the source said. Iniubong was allegedly lured, abducted and sexually abused to death by Akpan, who hails from the local government. The youth explained that their action was pr...

Osihmen scores against Cagliari to Increase Goal Tally

Victor Osimhen was yet again on target after he opened the scoring for Napoli in their Serie A clash against Cagliari at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. The Nigerian put Gli Azzuri ahead in the 13th  minute after he was played through by Lorenzo Insigne. Osimhen got on the end of a pass from Insigne before beating Diego Godin with his strength and slotting past Alessio Cragno in Cagliari’s goal. The Champions League and relegation battles crossed paths, as Napoli needed a win to retain third place and maybe even go second, while the Sardinians were in the drop zone along with Benevento and Torino. David Ospina and Faouzi Ghoulam were still out of action, while Cagliari had Razvan Marin suspended, but Radja Nainggolan returned from his ban and Alessio Cragno crucially had recov...

Simy Nwankwo Must Leave Crotone To Get Super Eagles Chance Again – Rohr

Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr insists in-form forward Simy Nwankwo must leave modest Serie A side Crotone to boost his chances of playing for the country again. Nwankwo has earned rave reviews due to his superb displays for relegation bound Crotone this season. The 28-year-old has scored 19 league goals for Serse Cosmi’s side this season. Only Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo have registered more goals than him in the Italian top flight this term. The forward has been overlooked by Rohr since the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia where he was named in the squad on the back of his impressive showing for Crotone. “I know Simy very well, it was me who called him for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He performed well at that competitio...

Lagos state Govt. withdraws N25m donation to Amputee Trader over false Claims

Her story induced sympathy and before long, cash began to roll in. At the last count, she was said to have raked in N25 million. The Lagos State government was also planning to gift her N25 million. Days later, however, Mary Daniel, the Oshodi amputee, has turned out a liar with huge gaps found in her story. The state government has withdrawn its donation to her. Miss Daniel became a sensation weeks ago after pictures of her selling water in sachet at Oshodi surfaced on the social media. She claimed she lost a leg in an accident that killed all other passengers, including her parents when she was a teenager.  It has now been found that she did not lose her leg in an accident and neither is her father dead. She also claimed to be fending for a baby and an aged grandmother. She said sh...

‘He’s A Different Player ‘ – Rodgers Talks Up Leicester City Hero Iheanacho

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has lavished praises on Kelechi Iheanacho after the forward scored a stunning winner in the Foxes’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Monday night. Iheanacho set up Timothy Castagne for Leicester’s equalising goal five minutes after the interval before netting the decisive strike 10 minutes from time. The Nigeria international has now scored 14 goals in his last 14 outings across all competitions for Brendan Rodgers’ side. “It’s a great comparison, because he missed a penalty (in the reverse fixture) and his confidence wasn’t high,” Rodgers said reflecting on Iheanacho’s improvement. “A few months on, he’s a different player. “We knew the quality he has, the talent he has, and now he’s getting an opportunity. “We were playing a syste...

Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze scores in Crunchy Tie Against Barcelona

Villarreal speedster Samuel Chukwueze scored the opening goal against Barcelona this afternoon, with a little help from Jordi Alba’s butter boots. Chukwueze is renowned for his devastating pace, so Ronald Koeman will have been thankful to see it was Alba who was 1v1 with the Nigerian as he raced onto a through ball. Unfortunately for Barcelona and Alba, he lost his footing, allowing Chukwueze to gain ground on him, which was always going to prove to be bad news from a Barca perspective. Chukwueze kept his cool, rounded the goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and found the finish to make it 1-0 to the home side and potentially dent Barca’s title hopes.

Military Technology beyond Native Doctors’ Protection, APC warns Youths

The ruling All Progressives Congress has warned Nigerian youths to not allow themselves to be used as tools in a war against any tribe or community in Nigeria. The party said this in a post on Twitter accompanied by photos of a Commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Ikonso, who was killed yesterday during an operation involving the police, army and the Department of State Services. One of the photos showed Ikonso’s dead body wearing a vest made of leather and cowries that appears to be a form of protection. In the caption, the APC warned youths not to rely on the protection provided by native doctors because they cannot protect them from military technology. “Dear Nigerian youth. Don’t allow anyone to send you to war with another Nigerian, community, state or tribe. Thos...

Keyamo blasts Eedris Abdulkareem over ‘Jagajaga Reloaded’

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo has explained that his choice of serving in the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government was an honour for him to serve his country. Keyamo stated this at the weekend when he took a swipe at popular singer and activist, Eedris Abdulkareem. Abdulkareem, in his new song, ‘jagajaga reloaded’ had disparaged Keyamo, saying “where Festus Keyamo sef? He don dey chop with cabal o.” Keyamo took to his twitter handle and released different private conversations he had with Abdulkareem and how he allegedly begged for money. He described the singer’s action as a cheap blackmail after the latter didn’t succeed in extorting him and other top government functionaries. According to Keyamo: “Eedris Abdulkareem just released a son...
