“Michael Owen Doubts Zidane’s Interest in Manchester United Job, Tips Thomas Tuchel as Potential Successor to Erik ten Hag

As speculation swirls around Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United, former footballer Michael Owen has cast doubt on Zinedine Zidane’s likelihood of considering the managerial role at Old Trafford. Instead, Owen suggests that Thomas Tuchel, currently at Chelsea, could be a strong contender to replace ten Hag.

Ten Hag finds himself under scrutiny after a challenging season for Man United, currently sitting eighth in the Premier League and vying for European qualification. With a crucial FA Cup final against Manchester City on the horizon, rumours persist regarding ten Hag’s potential departure, irrespective of the outcome.

While various names, including Zidane, Tuchel, Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi, Kieran McKenna, and Graham Potter, have been linked to the Manchester United job, Owen believes Tuchel stands out, depending on Bayern Munich’s decisions about his future.

Owen commented, “Zidane doesn’t speak much English so I’m not sure Man Utd would be on his radar personally. I would be very surprised.” Regarding Tuchel, he added, “Tuchel would be an interesting one. If Bayern won the Champions League, could there be a U-turn?”

Despite the uncertainty, Owen doesn’t rule out the possibility of Gareth Southgate or Graham Potter taking the helm at Old Trafford, acknowledging their impressive credentials. He also highlights Potter’s success in a challenging role at Brighton, suggesting he shouldn’t be overlooked.

As the managerial carousel continues, the future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with Tuchel emerging as a frontrunner should he become available.”

Singer Timi Dakolo offers a fresh perspective on Mohbad’s autopsy findings. Through his platform, he expresses surprise at the lack of conclusive results, contrasting it with the clarity often depicted in crime series where causes of death are determined even after prolonged periods. He remarks that unless these shows are misleading, they suggest that bodies can be discovered years after death with causes still identifiable.

In response to reports by Kemi Filani stating that a pathologist couldn’t ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s death due to decomposition, Timi Dakolo’s sentiment is echoed. He emphasizes that neither strangulation nor poisoning was evident upon examination of Mohbad’s liver and neck.

Very Darkman also comments on the autopsy findings, suggesting that Nigeria’s sentimentality may have shielded the true culprits. He implies that in more advanced jurisdictions, Mohbad’s partner would have been swiftly investigated upon his death.

“Transfer Rumor: Getafe, a LaLiga Club, Eyeing Loan Move for Sadiq”

Getafe, a LaLiga club, is reportedly targeting Umar Sadiq as a potential signing from fellow Spanish top-flight side Real Sociedad. Sadiq, a Nigerian international striker, has faced a challenging time at Real Sociedad, having struggled with injuries and limited opportunities on the pitch.

Last season, Sadiq endured a significant setback due to a ligament injury, which kept him sidelined for approximately seven months. Despite returning to action, he has mainly featured as a substitute for Real Sociedad during the current campaign, managing to score three goals in 26 league appearances.

Given Sadiq’s situation and Getafe’s need for attacking reinforcement, the club sees an opportunity to provide him with a fresh start. Football Espana reports that Getafe is prepared to offer Sadiq a lifeline by securing his services on loan for the upcoming 2024/25 season.

The potential move to Getafe could offer Sadiq the chance to revitalize his career and regain regular playing time. Moreover, Getafe is in search of a replacement for Enes Unal, who departed for Bournemouth in January, making Sadiq an appealing target for the club.

If the deal materializes, it could mark a new chapter for Sadiq, allowing him to showcase his talent and contribute positively to Getafe’s ambitions in LaLiga.

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, known as Mayorkun, has addressed allegations that he used female social media influencer Nicki Dabarbie for a ritual. On April 19, 2024, Dabarbie accused Mayorkun and his colleague, Skibii, of plotting to use her in a money ritual through a series of social media posts.

Mayorkun, who had remained silent until now, took to his X account to express frustration over the spread of false news about him and the reactions from the public. He emphasized that he had never met Nicki Dabarbie and was unaware of her existence until the accusations emerged.

He stated that the matter is currently in court as he will not allow the defamatory claim to go unchallenged due to its damaging impact on his reputation and career. Mayorkun reiterated that he had never met Dabarbie and would pursue legal action without demanding an apology from her.

He wrote, “Initially, I intended to keep this a court matter, but seeing the comments on blogs sharing these absurd allegations reminded me of how gullible people can be online, quickly spreading negative news without verification.

“For the record, I never met that person on the alleged day, have never seen her, and did not know of her existence until these allegations surfaced. Yet, she claimed I put ‘something’ in her drink.

“Many people believed this story, and you think I’ll let this libellous claim stand? No way!

“I want to reiterate, I have never seen this person before, even as I write this. I still haven’t laid eyes on her. What more can I say? How else can I prove this?

“I won’t ask for an apology where none will be given. I just needed to publicly address this and clear my name, because if it were a case of ‘cancellation’ as many are quick to do, I’d be back looking for a job in a bank.”

“How Tinubu Approved Payment of N3.3 Trillion Power Sector Debts: Adelabu Reveals”

“President Tinubu Greenlights N3.3 Trillion Partial Payment for Power Sector Debts”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given the go-ahead for the partial payment of Nigeria’s staggering N3.3 trillion power sector debts, a move aimed at addressing longstanding financial challenges within the sector. Adebayo Adelabu, Nigeria’s Minister of Power, announced this development during the 8th Africa Energy Marketplace in Abuja on Thursday.

The breakdown of the approved payment plan reveals that the federal government’s N1.3 trillion debt to power-generating companies will be settled through a combination of cash injections and promissory notes. Additionally, approximately $1.3 billion (equivalent to N1.994 trillion at the current official exchange rate) owed to gas companies will be repaid via cash payments and future royalties.

Adelabu emphasized that the government has already initiated payments towards the N1.3 trillion debt owed to power-generating companies, with plans to address the remaining portion through promissory notes over the next two to five years. Furthermore, he highlighted the government’s commitment to addressing outstanding debts owed to gas suppliers, with a recent $120 million payment made in March as part of the $1.3 billion owed.

Despite these efforts to alleviate financial strains within the power sector, challenges persist, as evidenced by the recent approval of a 230% electricity tariff hike for band A customers by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission. While the government later reduced the hike, reactions from various quarters, including the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, indicate widespread opposition to the tariff adjustment.

The decision to address power sector debts reflects a concerted effort by the government to stabilize the sector and enhance electricity supply across the country. However, ongoing debates surrounding tariff adjustments underscore the complexity of balancing financial sustainability with consumer affordability in the quest for a more reliable and accessible power infrastructure.

Title: “NCC Cracks Down on Pre-Registered SIM Cards: Illicit Practice Sparks National Security Concerns”

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has taken a firm stance against the illicit trade of pre-registered SIM cards, issuing a stark warning to Nigerians regarding the severe dangers associated with their purchase and use. Highlighting the gravity of the situation, the Commission emphasized that such actions are not only illegal but also pose significant threats to national security, potentially leading to imprisonment for offenders.

Pre-registered SIM cards, which are often sold through unauthorized channels, have been identified as a breeding ground for criminal activities, including identity theft, financial fraud, kidnapping, and armed robbery. The NCC underscored that individuals unwittingly using these SIM cards run the risk of being implicated in serious crimes, facing legal consequences as a result.

Furthermore, the NCC expressed concern over the adverse impact of pre-registered SIM cards on data accuracy and law enforcement efforts. By circumventing proper registration procedures, the reliability of consumer information is compromised, hindering authorities’ ability to track and apprehend criminals effectively. This undermines the integrity of telecommunications services and poses a significant challenge to maintaining public safety and order.

In light of these risks, the NCC’s message serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action. By raising awareness about the perils associated with pre-registered SIM cards, the Commission aims to educate the public and foster compliance with legal regulations governing the telecommunications sector. Through concerted efforts to eradicate this illicit practice, the NCC seeks to safeguard national security and ensure the safety and well-being of all Nigerians.

Mukaila Lamidi, also known as Auxiliary and a former chairman of the Park Management System in Oyo State, has been remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre by an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan. Chief Magistrate Olabisi Ogunkanmi ordered the remand on Thursday, citing a lack of jurisdiction.

Auxiliary was recently apprehended by the Department of State Services (DSS) at his residence in the Olodo area of Ibadan. This arrest came months after the police had declared him wanted for his alleged involvement in multiple armed robberies, kidnappings, and murders. He was publicly presented on Thursday morning by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Hamzat Adebola.

During the presentation, Commissioner Adebola credited a cooperative effort with other security agencies for Auxiliary’s arrest and expressed gratitude to the public for their valuable information in combating crime.

Magistrate Ogunkanmi stated that Lamidi’s remand will continue until legal advice is received from the state Director of Public Prosecution. The case was adjourned until July 11 for further mention.

Lamidi faces a four-count charge, including conspiracy, causing death, and theft. CSP Funke Fawole, head of the Police Command’s Legal Department, informed the court that Lamidi and accomplices, who are still at large, allegedly committed these crimes at the Baba-Onilu Shopping Complex on Iwo Road, Ibadan. The charges include violations of Sections 383 and 316, punishable under Sections 319, 111, 390 (9), 324, and 516 of the Oyo State Criminal Code Laws of 2000.

Fawole detailed that on June 16, 2021, Lamidi and his accomplices allegedly caused the death of Azeez Rahman Abiodun, 36, by stabbing him in the chest. On the same day, they also allegedly conspired to steal assorted phones valued at N150 million from Azeez Hammed Adebayo.

Six months after the tragic incident, the killers of the Ogun State government’s finance director remain at large.

Six months have passed since the tragic murder of Taiwo Oyekanmi, the Director of Finance for the Ogun State governor’s office, yet his killers remain at large. Oyekanmi was fatally shot on November 29, 2023, while returning from a bank where he had withdrawn a substantial sum of money for government use.

Reports indicate that five hooded gunmen hijacked the bullion van carrying the funds as it ascended the popular Kuto Bridge in Abeokuta. They opened fire on Oyekanmi, broke into the bullion van with sledgehammers, and made off with the money. Despite the Ogun State Government’s offer of a N50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators, no arrests have been made.

While the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, previously stated that investigations were at an advanced stage, there have been no recent updates on the case. When contacted, the command’s spokesman, Omolola Odutola, failed to provide further information, suggesting that members of the public could assist the police by providing relevant information.

The lack of progress in apprehending Oyekanmi’s killers underscores the importance of community involvement in crime-solving efforts and the need for continued pressure on law enforcement to ensure justice for the victim and his family.
