Maresca slams ‘very poor’ Chelsea after Leeds loss

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has described his team’s performance as “very poor” after a 3 1 defeat away to struggling Leeds United dealt a fresh blow to their Premier League title hopes.​ Leeds, who had lost their previous four league games and were sitting near the relegation zone, raced into a 2 0 first half lead through goals from Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka before Pedro Neto briefly gave Chelsea hope after the break.​ A defensive mistake by Tosin Adarabioyo allowed Dominic Calvert Lewin to restore Leeds’ two goal cushion, sealing a result that leaves Chelsea nine points behind leaders Arsenal and ends an eight match unbeaten run in all competitions.​ Maresca said his players were second best “in all aspects”, insisting that Leeds were sharper on the ball, off the ball and in duels, and admitted there was “nothing” […]

EFCC challenges court order releasing Okwete’s 27 houses

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed an appeal against a Federal High Court judgment that ordered the release of 27 properties linked to businessman James Ikechukwu Okwete.​ Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Abuja division had earlier vacated an interim forfeiture order on the houses and directed the EFCC to immediately return the properties and documents to Okwete, his company Jamec West African Limited, and another claimant, Adebukunola Iyabode Oladapo.​ The judge ruled that the anti graft agency failed to prove that the assets were proceeds of unlawful activity, holding that affidavits and documents submitted by the owners showed legitimate acquisition and therefore had merit.​ In its notice of appeal lodged at the Abuja Court of Appeal, the EFCC is asking the appellate court to set aside the decision, arguing that the trial judge erred in law by dismissing […]
