September 22, 2023 Germany Names Nagelsmann As New Coach

Germany Names Nagelsmann As New Coach

Following the dismissal of Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann steps in as the new national team coach, tasked with revitalising Germany's performance before they host Euro 2024.

The German Football Association is eager to avoid another disappointing tournament, especially on home turf.

Nagelsmann, the former Bayern Munich manager, has signed a contract until the end of July 2024, providing flexibility after Euro 2024. Expressing his eagerness, Nagelsmann emphasised the special significance of hosting a European Championship.

Hansi Flick, the first coach in Germany's history to be dismissed, faced challenges, with only four wins in 17 matches leading up to his removal. The team's underwhelming performance led to an early exit from the 2022 World Cup.

DFB president Bernd Neuendorf praised Nagelsmann as an exceptional coach, expressing confidence in his ability to inspire fans and achieve success in the Euros.

Flick's termination followed a humiliating 4-1 loss to Japan in a friendly match in Wolfsburg in early September. Nagelsmann, who succeeded Flick at Bayern, has been without a coaching position since his departure from the German champions in March.

Olajengbesi Urges Thorough Mohbad Inquest, Citing Sylvester Oromoni Case

Pelumi Olajengbesi, a prominent human rights lawyer based in Abuja, has called upon both the police authorities and the Lagos State Government to ensure a comprehensive and fair inquiry into the untimely demise of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

In a statement issued on Friday, Olajengbesi, from the Abuja-based law firm Law Corridor, emphasized the importance of not repeating past mistakes in investigations of similar incidents where justice was not served. He cited cases like the tragic deaths of Sylvester Oromoni Jr., a 12-year-old student at Dowen College in Lekki, and Karen-Happuch Akpagher, a 14-year-old student of Premiere Academy in Abuja.

Olajengbesi stated, "The cases of Sylvester, Karen-Happuch, and Mohbad highlight the urgent need to address the societal issues of bullying and cultism. Stronger penalties should deter any future occurrences of these reprehensible behaviours."

Regarding Mohbad's case, Olajengbesi urged the police and the Lagos State Government not to spare any individuals potentially involved in their investigation. He stressed the importance of a thorough and unbiased inquiry, ensuring that all culprits face the consequences, regardless of their status or connections.

He concluded, "Justice must prevail. Social misbehaviour flourishes when justice is absent, which threatens our nation."

 

September 22, 2023 Tribunal Verdict Sparks Tension In Jos Plateau Gubernatorial Case

Tribunal Verdict Sparks Tension In Jos Plateau Gubernatorial Case

Today, the Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal in Plateau State is scheduled to announce its decision regarding the petition brought forth by the All-Progressives Congress (APC) and its gubernatorial candidate from the March 18, 2023, elections.

Nentawe Yiltwatda of the APC contested the victory of Governor Caleb Mutfwang from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the aforementioned polls.

Governor Mutfwang emerged victorious with 525,299 votes, surpassing Yiltwatda, who garnered 481,370 votes, as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Notably, the tribunal recently dismissed a petition from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) gubernatorial candidate, Alfred Dabwan against Governor Mutfwang. This petition sought to nullify the poll based on the alleged exclusion of the party’s logo from the ballot paper.

The ruling, set for September 22, 2023, has heightened tension in Jos and its surroundings. Security measures have been reinforced around the State High Court complex, where the tribunal is located, ensuring a secure process during this pivotal moment in Plateau State’s political scene. Nearby recreational centres have been directed to remain closed for the day.

 

September 22, 2023 US Court Delays Release Of Tinubu’s School Records To Atiku

US Court Delays Release Of Tinubu’s School Records To Atiku

U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado has decided to stay an order requiring Chicago State University (CSU) to provide specific academic documents related to Bola Tinubu, who currently serves as the President of Nigeria.

Earlier, Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert had instructed CSU to submit these documents by the end of Thursday.

However, an emergency hearing on Thursday led Judge Maldonado to call for additional arguments from both sides, with a deadline of next Thursday. The legal team representing the Nigerian President argued that Judge Gilbert's decision needed review by a district judge, and this request was granted by Judge Maldonado. She expressed her commitment to making a prompt ruling, acknowledging the importance of the case.

Tinubu had filed an Emergency Motion in the Chicago Court, seeking a delay in releasing his academic records until at least Monday, September 25th. The court had initially ordered CSU to provide all records of Tinubu's student status to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar within two days.

Atiku contends that Tinubu's claim of graduating from Chicago State University needs to be more authentic and seeks these documents to support his case that the Nigerian leader was ineligible to run for the presidential election at the time he did.
