Meanwhile, Super Falcons midfielder, Ngozi Okobi has moved to Levante Las Planas in Spain. Okobinho La Samba moved from Eskilstuna in Sweden where she has spent the past 5 years.
naptu2: Throwback to 2017 and Uchenna Kanu's presentation about her home town when she was at South Eastern University in the United States. She earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sports Management at the university and she was the all time highest goal scorer for their football team.
However, the tweet in the first screenshot below is causing confusion on Twitter. The journalist says that Tigres will soon sign a bomb African from Europe to replace Kanu and many people are saying that the only African that can be described as a bomb is Asisat Oshoala (but I don't think that it is Oshoala).
That's 52 league wins in a row in total for a team that has forgotten how to lose

The Barça women have won 4-0 in Valencia with goals from Rolfö (2), Oshoala and Aitana Bonmatí, which means they have reached the midway point of the season without dropping a single point.
Superiority shows
Aitana Bonmatí had a shot brilliantly saved in the first move of the game, and moments later Rolfö was converting an Oshoala pass to get the visitors off to a perfect start.
Oshoala herself made it two after a quarter of an hour following some great work in the build-up by Nuria Rábano, and Rolfö had made it three before the half-time whistle blew.
Aitana makes it four
The teams had barely returned to the field before Aitana was finding the net, and although one could easily have suspected more Barça goals were on the way, home keeper Salón was going to have a big say in making sure that that was not the case, and even when Rolfö did have her beaten, she was denied her hat-trick by the woodwork.
LASG DEBUNKS NEWS OF ALLEGED CONTINUOUS DETENTION OF #ENDSARS PROTESTERS
The Lagos State Government has debunked in strong terms, an online story published by Sahara Reporters on the 16th of January, 2023 titled: “Nigerian College Students Wiliams, Chukwuka arrested for #EndSARS protest in Lagos Prison since 2020”, stressing that the news story is false and calculated to mislead the public.
A statement signed by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) said the case of the defendants, Dare Williams and Bethel Chukwuka was that of conspiracy to commit robbery and armed robbery which is not related to the #EndSARS protest as claimed by the online news medium.
According to him, the defendants both conspired and robbed an Uber driver of his car on 21st December, 2020. They posed as passengers and were armed with a jackknife and went away with the victim’s Toyota Corolla car. They were later arrested by the Police through a tracking device installed in the car.
Upon the conclusion of an investigation, the case file was forwarded to the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) on the 8th of January 2021, legal advice was issued on the 22nd of February, 2021 and information was filed against the defendants and trial is ongoing before Hon. Justice Sonaike sitting at TBS.
His words, “The case of the defendants was never in any way connected to the #EndSARS protests. The protest took place in October, 2020 and the defendants were arrested in December, 2020. The incident leading to their arrest on the 21st of December 2020 was a case of armed robbery and not a protest against Police brutality”.
The report published by Sahara Reporters is totally untrue and fabricated. It is unfortunate that the publisher did not seek the views of the DPP to verify the claims of the Defendants.
Onigbanjo noted that the State Government will continue to ensure that justice is pursued and the State is safe for all citizens to do their legitimate businesses.
Murder: Lagos policeman protests as court remands four inspectors
30th January 2023 By Naomi Chima
The Lagos State Police Command on Friday arraigned four policemen, Inspector Johnson Imeh, Inspector Effiong Edet, Inspector Harrison Ike, and Inspector Etederhi Obaseki, before a Yaba Magistrates’ Court over the alleged murder of a resident, Buraimoh Gafar.
The four inspectors were arraigned before Magistrate A.O. Salawu on two counts of murder.
The four policemen, attached to the Ajah Police Divisional Headquarters, were on a patrol and visited Amadon Estate.
Suspected hoodlums in the community were said to have fled on sighting the cops as one of them was arrested.
While trying to force the suspect into their van, the hoodlums reportedly regrouped to free their colleague.
Two of the defendants were said to have fired shots.
The deceased’s sister, Folashade Ibrahim, and an eyewitness, Adebayo Olatunji, later reported to the police that a stray bullet hit Gafar while he was coming out of Skymall Shopping Plaza, where he went to watch a football match.
The police prosecutor, Haruna Magaji, while holding brief for Godwin Oriabure, told the court that the policemen committed the offence on December 6, 2022.
Magaji said Imeh and Edet confessed to firing their AK-47 riffles during the incident.
The charge read in part, “ That you, Johnson Imeh, Effiong Edet, Etederhi Obaseki and Harrison Ike, on December 6, 2022, at Happyland Estate, Sangotedo, Ajah, Lagos State, in the Lagos Magisterial District, while on duty as a member of the Nigeria Police Force on surveillance duty, did conspire among yourselves to commit felony, to wit, murder, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 233 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.”
Counsel for the second defendant, Samuel Sodipo, pleaded with the court to grant him bail in liberal terms, saying the policemen had been in custody for 51 days.
Also, one of the defendants, Ike, told the court that he was exonerated by the police provost because he did not fire any bullets, but the State Criminal Investigation Department refused to let him go.
He claimed that he and Obaseki were supposed to be discharged on the morning of the arraignment and had finished packing their things.
He stated that because they were happy, the Investigation Police Officer decided to charge them with murder and conspiracy.
He said, “The DPO exonerated me and this young man, Obaseki, and the investigators exonerated us as well because we did not fire. The police provost disciplinary committee exonerated both of us.
“During these processes, orders had been coming to let us go but Panti (SCID) refused to let us go; they said the day they would charge these two men, they would release us.
“Now this morning, they called them out to charge them to court and one of them (policeman) came saying that we were laughing, that we would go nowhere. I just carried my bag, but on getting outside, they said my offence was that I came out to go home and for that reason, they should go and include me in conspiracy and murder.”
The magistrate called the IPO to explain why the two policemen were arraigned.
The IPO, SP Christopher Onyeisi, said, “They were taken to the Ikeja provost and the two defendants, Ime and Edet, were found to have committed the offence while the other two, Ike and Obaseki, were subjected to further investigation.
“While the investigation was ongoing, we received an order to charge all of them while the case file should be duplicated and sent to the DPP.
“Actually the police ordered to exonerate the two but the DPP said no, that we should charge all four.”
Magaji requested the court to remand the defendants.
Magistrate Salawu after going through the case file, ordered that the four policemen be remanded in a custodial centre for 30 days pending the DPP’s advice.
