NSCDC Loses 7 Officers In Niger

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has said that it lost seven of its officers in the line of duty in Niger State within the year.

The Niger State commandant of the corps, Haruna Bala Zurmi disclosed this while briefing reporters on the command’s stewardship in 2021.

He noted that the command received 1, 578 cases bothering on criminal breach of trust, burglary, theft, assault, land disputes and debt, among others.

He said the command also recovered over N56.98million within the period under review, saying that the funds were returned to the rightful owners.

Zurmi explained that 147 civil cases were referred to the peace and conflict management unit for alternative disputes resolution.

Leicester Defeat Liverpool As Salah Has Penalty Saved

Leicester defeated Liverpool 1-0, leaving the Reds six points off the top of the Premier League table. Ademola Lookman scored the game’s only goal.

The Reds’ best chance came in the first half, when Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel in the 15th minute and then headed the rebound over the bar.

After that, Sadio Mane wasted a few chances for Jurgen Klopp’s side until the hosts made them pay in the 59th minute.

With only his fourth touch after coming on, former Everton attacker Lookman received Kiernan Dewsbury-pass Hall’s in his stride, beat Joel Matip, and rifled a shot past Alisson – Leicester’s sole shot on target.

Leicester held on against late Liverpool pressure despite missing numerous first-team players – just six days after blowing a 3-1 lead to lose on penalties to the same opponents in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Liverpool are now six points behind Manchester City after their second defeat of the season, while Leicester, who have won only two of their seven games, have moved up to ninth place.

If Pep Guardiola’s City win Brentford and Chelsea at least draw with Brighton on Wednesday, the Reds may finish third in 2021, nine points behind the leaders.

Everton V Newcastle Has Been Postponed

Everton’s Premier League match against Newcastle United on Thursday has been postponed due to coronavirus cases and injuries in the Magpies’ camp.

Newcastle requested that the game be called off after “a number of players and staff” tested positive, as well as “many players” suffering injuries.

Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin were injured during Newcastle’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Monday.

Newcastle United’s postponement application was allowed, according to a statement from the Premier League, since the club “does not have the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper) due to Covid-19 instances and injuries.”

Eddie Howe revealed after his side’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United that they were “dangerously close” to not being able to field a team for the game against Everton.

Meanwhile, this is the third Toffees encounter in a row to be called off due to outbreaks and injury problems, following matches against Burnley and Leicester.

According to the most recent Premier League statistics, a total of 103 Premier League players and staff tested positive for Covid in the seven days leading up to and including December 26.

As a result, 16 English Premier League games have been postponed in December.
