Mourinho was finally relieved of his duties after an abysmal start of the season with the club now expected to name a caretaker boss until the end of the campaign.

The French midfielder, Pogba who has started the past few matches on the bench, posted an image of himself on his Instagram and Twitter accounts with smug look on his face and a description saying: Caption this!

The post was online for only a few minutes before he deleted it.

Reports have it that about four persons have been critically injured in a ghastly motor accident involving a truck loaded with petrol and a commercial Keke (tricycle), at akenpai community in Yenagoa, Bayelsa, along the mbiama-yenagoa expressway.

Men of the fire service arrived the scene to put measures in place to prevent a possible fire outbreak.

According to an eyewitness, Miss Ann, she noted that, it seemed like the truck failed brake before hitting the tricycle. 

She also narrated that it took serious intervention to be able to pull out victims who were stuck.

The incident caused gridlock and slow vehicular movements along the major roads, as motorists resorted to a one-way lane.

The Nigerian army has been accused of extra-judicial killing after some men believed to be soldiers killed two unarmed elderly men in cold blood. 

Activist and social commentator on Nigerian and international affairs, Kayode Ogundamisi, revealed how the men were led to their deaths before they were executed along with their donkeys. 

It is suspected that the men were aiding Boko Haram elements in the northern part of the country that's why they were executed but Nigerians have argued that they would have been arrested and interrogated to gather more information and not killed since they were unarmed.

Writing about the issue on Twitter, Ogundamisi said; 

I support and appreciate the sacrifice of our military, however the activities of few bad eggs should never be condoned, covered up or allowed to be the price we have to pay for fighting the insurgency. 

A lot had been achieved in terms of security and the rules of engagement, we have a lot to do, and we can improve. Acts as seen in the video will compromise the heroic efforts of the greater majority of our forces, who by the way are doing their very best within the limitations.

Despicable acts isolates our military and puts our forces in grave danger of not getting the needed cooperation from the locals. The insurgents will use, have been using isolated incidents as a means of getting the corporation of locals who pass information to Boko Haram ISWAP.

It is understandable that the men in the video were on edge, suspecting the civilians of being Boko Haram informants, If they are found to be Boko Haram informants, why execute them? Why not hold them? take care of them so they can be used to gather more info and intelligence.

That the executors even filmed the execution show they have normalised such extra judicial killings, it means more efforts is needed to support our troops on rules of engagement, the impact of loosing comrades to terrorists could see them thinking more of revenge than win battles

A woman who disguises as a blind person to beg by the roadside with her child in Warri, Delta state, was arrested today after she was reported to the police by a concerned citizen. 

According to the president of Nigerian Child Welfare Fund, Joshua Omorere, he had been warning the fake blind beggars who stay at Jakpa junction especially the arrested woman, to desist from deceiving the public with their trade. 

Earlier today, he led a team of police officers who raided their spot and arrested the fake blind beggar who was with her daughter as others fled on sighting the security agents.

It was gathered that the police officers were convinced the woman was blind after she and her daughter broke down in tears while being arrested.

On getting to the police station, the officers threatened to put tear gas in her eyes, that was when the woman identified as Ada Nwachukwu admitted she is not blind and disclosed that she came all the way from Orlu in Imo state to Warri just to hustle.

A female final year student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, was paraded alongside eleven other suspects arrested by the police in the state for various offences ranging from murder to armed robbery, fraud and rape.

In the same vein, a 38-year-old bricklayer, Daniel Segun who, together with his gang members, invaded students' hostel at LAUTECH and dispossessed them of their valuables, has been arrested.

The gangsters, three of whom are at large, stormed the hostel at about 9:00pm on October 13 and had already robbed the students before a distress call was received by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squard (FSARS) Unit in Ogbomoso.

The detectives, it was gathered, swiftly raced to the scene and still met the men of the underworld in operation.

The aftermath of the police presence at the scene was a daring challenge by the hoodlums, who engaged operatives in a fierce gun duel, but could not withstand the opponents' superior fire power and had to take to their heels.

While three of the gang members managed to escape arrests, Daniel Segun was not as lucky as others; he was apprehended at the scene with two locally fabricated double barrel guns, one single barrel gun, seven cartridges and their loots comprising ten mobile handsets, seven laptops and two wrist watches.

This is very unfortunate.  A 20-year-old man has lost his life while being baptized by a pastor in a river.

In a video captured on Facebook, the young man, whose name was given as Yaw Kyeremeh was seen being led by his pastor to undertake the baptism in Weija river in Accra, Ghana.

The deceased sunk deep down into the water just about the time he was being immersed the second time.

Realizing what was happening, a man on the bank of the river seemed to have stretched his hand out so the drowning man could hold on to. Sadly, it was too late.

The pastor and another person swam to safety and called for help as recorded by the video.

All efforts to retrieve Kwadwo Kyeremeh’s body proved futile as his body wasn’t found at the spot he drowned.

Two men including a Nigerian who killed a defenceless man in a Greenwich street, London have been jailed at the Old Bailey today. 

Ibrahim James, of Woolwich was jailed for 22 years and Andrew Adekoya, 22 of Greenwich was jailed for 16 years. Both were found guilty of the manslaughter of Jozef Boci at the same court on 18 October.

The court heard how 30-year-old Jozef was targeted by a group of men following an incident at the South Pole nightclub in Greenwich in the early hours of Saturday, 17 February.

Jozef was part of a group that had become involved in a minor dispute inside the nightclub at around 01:00hrs that morning with another group including James and Adekoya.

Security staff at the club intervened. Jozef's group were allowed to remain in the club while the other group were ejected.

After remonstrating with security staff, the group got into two cars and drove away, returning to nearby Norman Road around five minutes later.

CCTV footage captured members of the group getting out of the cars. Adekoya had a metal object, perhaps a wrench, while James appeared to have a weapon concealed down his trouser leg.

The group approached the front of the club but were ushered away by door staff; however they continued to hang around in the vicinity of the club for the next hour or so, obviously waiting for someone to come out.

At around 02:10hrs, Jozef left the South Pole club and as soon as he stepped outside he was chased by the group, including James and Adekoya.

Jozef fled down Greenwich High Road but tripped over and was immediately set upon by his pursuers. Witnesses described how Jozef was attacked, including being struck with a baseball bat, as he lay prone and defenceless on the pavement.

Jozef was taken to hospital but never regained consciousness - he died six days after the attack on 23 February.
