Why I asked my mother before signing Greenwood – Longoria

Marseille president Pablo Longoria has revealed that he consulted his mother before approving the controversial signing of former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood in 2024, calling it one of the toughest decisions of his career. He said he wanted an opinion completely detached from football, money and club interests before giving the green light.​ Longoria explained that the club viewed Greenwood’s arrival as a huge sporting opportunity but carried out extensive due diligence on the case first. Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United in January 2022 following his arrest on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour, with all charges later dropped in February 2023 after key witnesses withdrew.​ Speaking to The Telegraph, Longoria said he called his mother, Begona Longoria, a former prison system worker in Spain who once received a state medal for her service.

Davido thanks father for defending him in paternity controversy

Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine ‘escapes’ house arrest

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine says he escaped a night‑time raid on his home by police and army personnel, hours after rejecting early election results that show President Yoweri Museveni heading for another term in office. In a post on X, the former pop star, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said security forces stormed his residence, cut power and disabled some CCTV cameras before he managed to flee.​ Wine said he is now in an undisclosed location while his wife and family remain effectively under house arrest, surrounded by soldiers and police. Ugandan authorities have denied abducting him, with a police spokesman insisting he is “at home” and “not under arrest,” despite his party alleging an army helicopter had earlier landed in his compound and taken him away.​ The opposition figure has accused the government of massive vote‑rigging in […]

EFCC returns N96.5m to Enugu Ponzi scheme victims

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has returned N96.5 million to victims of a Ponzi investment scheme in Enugu State.​ The refund was made through the EFCC’s Enugu zonal command, which said the recovered funds represented part of the money traced to bank accounts linked to the fraudulent scheme’s operators.​ According to the commission, dozens of victims had lodged complaints after being lured with promises of high, quick returns on investments that later collapsed without repayment.​ EFCC officials said efforts were ongoing to track more assets, prosecute those behind the scam and recover additional funds so that more victims can receive refunds.​ The agency advised Nigerians to be wary of any platform offering unrealistic profits, warning that many such schemes are disguised Ponzi operations designed to defraud unsuspecting investors.
