Inter Milan host Bodo Glimt needing big UCL fightback

Inter Milan must overturn a 3–1 first leg defeat when they host Norwegian champions Bodo Glimt in their Champions League playoff second leg at San Siro on Tuesday night. The Serie A leaders face one of the surprise teams of this European campaign and need a strong response to keep their hopes alive.​ Bodo Glimt seized control of the tie in Norway, scoring twice in quick succession after the hour mark to shock the Italian side. They now arrive in Milan with a two goal cushion and growing confidence that their impressive run in Europe can continue.​ Inter’s former coach Antonio Conte tried to move the club away from its “pazza” or crazy reputation when he took over in 2019. Current boss Cristian Chivu, however, may have to embrace some unpredictability if his team are to turn the tie around […]

Arbeloa urges UEFA to turn anti racism drive into real action

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has urged UEFA to back its anti racism slogans with strong and consistent action after the alleged racist abuse of Vinicius Junior in a Champions League match against Benfica. He said European football now has a key chance to set a clear example and move beyond banners and pre match messages.​ UEFA has provisionally suspended Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu while it investigates Vinicius’ allegation. If the inquiry concludes that he racially abused the Brazilian forward, the 18 year old faces a minimum 10 match ban.​ Arbeloa said football needs a turning point in the fight against racism and called on UEFA to seize this moment. He added that Vinicius, who scored the only goal in the first leg before the incident stopped play for about 10 minutes, […]

Hakimi to face trial over rape allegation, denies charge

Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi is set to stand trial in France over a rape allegation. He has firmly denied the accusation in a post on social media.​ In a message on X, Hakimi said that a simple allegation is now enough to send someone to trial, even when they deny it and believe the claim is false. He described the situation as unfair both to innocent people and to real victims of sexual violence.​ Hakimi added that he is waiting calmly for the trial, which he believes will allow the truth to be heard in public.​ Prosecutors in Nanterre, near Paris, opened an investigation into the rape claim in 2023 after a complaint was filed against the player. The prosecutor’s office has not yet commented on the latest development about the trial.​

Abbas: Poor power supply hurting small firms, Nigerians

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has warned that poor and costly energy supply is crippling small businesses and worsening the living conditions of Nigerians. He spoke at an investigative hearing organised by the House Committee on Renewable Energy in Abuja.​ Abbas said years of persistent electricity problems have created serious economic challenges and made legislative action necessary. He explained that the National Assembly amended the Electricity Act to firmly include renewable energy as part of Nigeria’s power solutions.​ He noted that diversifying the country’s energy mix with renewable sources would ease pressure on households and businesses while supporting sustainable growth. One key objective of the Electricity Act 2023, he said, is to provide an integrated policy that recognises all sources of power generation, transmission and distribution, including renewables.​ The Speaker highlighted the high cost of running generators […]

UK ex-envoy Mandelson freed on bail in Epstein probe

London police have released former UK ambassador and senior politician Peter Mandelson on bail as investigations continue into his links with late US financier Jeffrey Epstein.

His arrest follows the release of new documents connected to Epstein, […]

Court sets March 24 ruling on suit to deregister ADC, Accord, others

A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 24 for its ruling on a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to deregister four political parties over alleged failure to meet constitutional requirements.​ The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/25, was filed by the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators, with INEC, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the African Democratic Congress, Accord Party, Zenith Labour Party and Action Alliance listed as defendants. Initially, only the ADC was mentioned, but the suit was later amended to include the other parties.​ The group argues that INEC is constitutionally required to deregister parties that do not attain minimum electoral performance, such as winning at least 25 per cent of votes in one state during a presidential election or securing any elective seat at federal, state or local government level. In […]

Sokoto, UNICEF step up action on out-of-school children

The Sokoto State Universal Basic Education Board has stepped up efforts to reduce the high number of out-of-school children through expanded early childhood education and major reforms, according to its Executive Chairman, Umar Tambuwal.​ Speaking at a media dialogue on educational reform for Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, Tambuwal said education is central to the state’s future and that early childhood investment is key to reversing poor learning outcomes. He explained that the years from birth to eight are critical for brain development, cognitive growth and emotional stability, especially for disadvantaged children.​ Tambuwal warned that lack of early learning opportunities increases the risk of school dropouts and fuels the rise in out-of-school children. He said that with UNICEF support, the board assisted 160 Early Childhood Care and Education centres in 2024 and 2025 with teaching materials and caregiver training, while UNICEF […]

IGP Egbetokun removed, to be replaced by Tunji Disu

President Donald Trump’s Nigerian counterpart, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has removed Kayode Egbetokun as Inspector General of Police, paving the way for Assistant Inspector General Tunji Disu to take over as the country’s new police chief. Egbetokun, who was appointed the 22nd IGP in June 2023, was reportedly directed to prepare his handover notes, with senior police and presidency sources confirming that a formal announcement and ceremony are being arranged. Sources quoted in multiple reports say Tinubu personally ordered Egbetokun’s exit amid growing controversies around his extended stay in office beyond normal retirement age, as well as internal discontent over his leadership style. Some officers described him as “power drunk” and linked his removal partly to health concerns, claiming the president wants him to focus on treatment for reported kidney related medical issues. Egbetokun’s tenure was dogged by scandals, including […]

‘The Kalashnikov is the most effective tool’ – Inside Ukraine’s ‘drone hunter’ unit

Far from the main frontlines, a small Ukrainian “drone hunter” unit spends its days and nights scanning the skies above the frozen outskirts of Sloviansk, trying to spot and shoot down incoming Russian drones before they can strike troops and supply lines. What was once a conventional artillery war has turned into a relentless aerial cat-and-mouse game, with the men now fearing not just the scream of shells but also the constant buzz of unmanned aircraft overhead. Armed with handheld drone detectors and assault rifles, the soldiers rush into position whenever their equipment or instincts pick up a threat, often firing Kalashnikovs at small, fast-moving drones barely visible against the grey sky. Bohdan, commander of an anti-aircraft battery in Ukraine’s 117th Brigade, says shotguns work where drones fly very low, but in his sector they fly higher and faster, making […]
