Three people were killed on Sunday by suspected armed herdsmen in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, while Boko Haram insurgents attacked a military base in Borno State, killing two soldiers.

CAS Upholds UEFA Ruling, Sends Crystal Palace to Conference League

Crystal Palace will compete in the UEFA Conference League this season after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld UEFA’s decision to demote the club over breaches of multi-club ownership rules. In its ruling on Monday, CAS confirmed that Palace’s Europa League spot will instead go to Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest. The case centred on Eagle Football Holdings founder John Textor, who CAS found held shares and board positions in both Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyonnais (OL) at the time of UEFA’s eligibility assessment. OL have also qualified for the Europa League. Palace earned their place in the competition by winning the FA Cup in May but were ruled ineligible on July 11. The club argued that Forest or Lyon should be excluded instead, but CAS ruled that UEFA regulations “are clear and do not provide flexibility” for […]

The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has imposed a lifetime ban on Comfort Emmanson, prohibiting her from flying with any of its member airlines on both domestic and international routes.

FG Deploys Passport Printers to New York, Atlanta to Ease Processing Delays

Nigerian diplomatic missions in the United States have installed passport printers in New York and Atlanta in a bid to reduce processing delays, the Acting Ambassador to the U.S., Samson Itegboje, announced on Sunday.
