The management of Air Peace has debunked reports that its aircraft en-route Ilorin from Abuja had a “minimal tyre burst” after landing at the Ilorin international airport, Kwara state, Newspremises reports.

According to the Air Peace, passengers on board were “disembarked seamlessly” after the incident occurred at the airport runway.

The incident occurred Friday morning when the B737-500 aircraft with registration number 5N-BQR was taxing.

There were reports on social media that an Air Peace crash landed at the Ilorin airport as passengers escaped death.

But Air Peace, in a statement on Saturday sent to TheCable, described the report as “sensational publication of falsehood”, noting that no such incident happened.

“For the record, no such thing happened. The reports misrepresented and exaggerated the facts. We can confirm that the aircraft in question landed safely but had a minimal tyre burst while taxing,” the statement reads.

“This debunks all the mischievously headlined reports circulating online, which should be disregarded.

Our aircraft neither crashed nor crash landed in Ilorin or in any place for that matter. This kind of sensationalism is bad and was intended to cause panic in the minds of the flying public.

“It was duly reported to the authorities and passengers disembarked seamlessly. The tyres have, however, been fixed and the aircraft is intact. We condemn sensational publication of falsehood.”

Henrietta Yakubu, general manager corporate affairs of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in a text message to TheCable said the airport runway is open.

“The airport is open now. Overland Airways landed by 0521hrs,” she said.

Tale by moonlight story. When the time comes we will be hearing witch-hunting from the suprema la govano

Barcelona face the possibility of not being able to register Lionel Messi for play in LaLiga until January 2022, ESPN reports.

The Catalans are looking for ways to reduce their wage bill, to align with LaLiga’s financial fair play rules.

If they can’t, they risk not being able to register Messi’s new contract or new arrivals, Memphis Depay, Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia and Emerson Royal.

Barca have until the end of the transfer window on August 31 to submit Messi’s deal and their new signings to LaLiga, but internally, the club wants everything resolved before August 15, when they kick off their league campaign at home to Real Sociedad.

The League president, Javier Tebas, is adamant he will not relax the rules for Barcelona.

A failure to get their finances in order could see Messi, if he signs the five-year deal he has already agreed, unable to play until at least January, as happened with Getafe midfielder, Pedro Leon in 2014.

The U.S. Women’s National Team was dealt a stunning blow in their Olympic soccer opener as they fell 3-0 to Sweden, snapping a 44-game unbeaten streak that dated back to Jan. 2019.

The USWNT is ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, but Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years.

In 2016, the Swedes eliminated the Americans from the Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever.

A recent controversy was proven to be not all that it seemed in regards to the players turning their back either on the flag or a WWII vet playing the National Anthem, but it was clear that there was a lack of cohesion amongst the players in terms of national pride compared to the players from Mexico before that game.

One Twitter user, Clarence J Harmon, noted after today’s game, “Women’s Olympic soccer team gets beat by Sweden you didn’t see the Sweden players disrespect her anthem or their flag u.s. team has nothing to fight for anymore they will have a early exit from the Olympics.”

Trump supporter Vince Langman declared in a tweet, “Wow it’s going to be a great day Sweden just destroyed the WOKE USA women’s soccer team 3-0 in the Olympics.”

A clip shared by The Columbia Bugle showed Tobin Heath kicking the ball forward, only for it to be blocked by one of the Swedes and then ricochet back, hitting her in the face.

Heath can then be seen on the ground, writhing in pain and grabbing her face with both hands as one of the Swedes can be seen walking by.

Marcus Rashford has defended his off-field partnerships following claims that he profited from his campaigning, Newspremises reports.

The Manchester United and England star earned an MBE for his charitable efforts helping feed children in need throughout the last year-and-a-half.

Rashford called out the government on a number of occasions during the pandemic to ensure schoolchildren were given access to meals, which resulted in U-turns and a shift in policy, and he did a huge amount to raise funds for charity.

The forward, who was racially abused after missing a penalty in the final of Euro 2020, tweeted on Tuesday night that he had heard political magazine The Spectator was planning to run a story suggesting he has ‘benefitted commercially’ from his charity work and decided to speak against it.

"Just heard @spectator are planning to run a story on me tomorrow about how I have benefitted commercially in the last 18 months," Rashford tweeted.

"To clarify, I don't need to partner with brands. I partner because I want to progress the work I do off the pitch and most of any fee I would receive contributes to that.

"Last summer, 1.3M children had access to food support, through my relationship with Burberry children have a safe place to be after school where they will be fed, following the November investment vulnerable children have safe places to go this summer holiday, and due to my relationship with Macmillan 80,000 children now have a book to call their own.

"Do I have a larger commercial appeal following the u-turns? I'm sure. But I'm also a Manchester United and England international footballer. Why has there always got to be a motive? Why can't we just do the right thing?"

Jadon Sancho is set to join Manchester United this summer after completing a medical last week but a formal announcement from the club is yet to come, almost three weeks after the agreement between United and Borussia Dortmund was announced.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was quizzed on the delay in the aftermath of their 2-1 win over Derby last week and the Norwegian boss insisted that only paperwork remained on the deal. At the time of writing, a week has passed since Sancho underwent his medical.

Fears that something has gone wrong have, however, been eased with the latest update from journalist and leading transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.

“Don’t worry,” he told the Here We Go Podcast. “There are a lot of stuff behind an official announcement. Paperworks are signed, contracts are signed, Jadon Sancho is 100% a Manchester United player.”

The update will be welcomed by United supporters – no one will need reminding of the last-minute collapse of a deal to bring Paulo Dybala to Old Trafford nearly two years ago.


Sancho, along with United’s other England players involved in Euro 2020, is set to return from his three-week holiday early next month. A debut against Everton the following week has been touted as a possible introduction and an official bow against Leeds United on August 14 is expected.

Five suspected kidnappers were burnt to death by angry youths along the Afuze-Uokha road in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State at the weekend, Newspremises reports

Newspremises gathered that the suspected kidnappers, armed with assorted guns, attacked and abducted some travellers who they took into the bush.

However, the local vigilante group got wind of the kidnapping incident, mobilised and waylaid the suspects in the bush.

It was learnt that the locals, who had been angered by the spate of kidnapping in the area, forcefully snatched the suspects from the vigilantes as they were taking them to the police station, and set them ablaze.

"The kidnappers would have been contacting the families of the abducted travellers to ask for ransom if not for the bravery of the vigilantes while locals who were fed up with the criminal activities of these kidnappers set them on fire and left to die,” a source told Tribune.

Confirming the incident,spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, Kontongs Bello, said that investigation was ongoing.

"After the kidnap, the vigilantes went in search of the criminals who they apprehended in the bush. As they were coming out in Uokha Community on their way to the police station, angry youths in Uokha and adjoining towns took away the suspected kidnappers from the vigilantes. All efforts to get the suspects to the police proved abortive as they were burnt to death. The investigation is ongoing,” he added.
