Femi Falana Alleges That Government Plans To Transfer Omoyele Sowore From Dss Custody To Prison.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has alleged that the Federal Government had applied to the FCT High Court for an order to transfer his clients who were arrested for their call for the #RevolutionNow protest from the custody of the DSS to prison.

 

The #RevolutionNow protest convener, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-detainee, Adebayo Bakare, have been in the custody of the DSS since August despite the orders of the Federal High Court in Abuja for their release.

 

Falana, in a letter dated December 1, 2019 and addressed to the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, asked him to direct the DSS to release his clients.

 

He urged Malami to ensure compliance with court orders in the country the same way the federal government complied with that of the British courts on the P&ID case.

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar Knocks President Muhammadu Buhari, For The Nation’s Rising Debt.

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed worry over the rising debt profile of the country under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

 

He said the Buhari government has taken more loans in the last three years, than the country did in the 30-year period preceding 2016.

 

According to him, this position was revealed by a former Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Economic Summit Group, Prof. Anya O. Anya.

 

He stated that it was worrisome how Nigeria had such a monumental increase in borrowings vis-à-vis an unprecedented reduction in investments in education.

 

Atiku spoke while delivering a speech at the 14th Founders’ day ceremony of the American University of Nigeria in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

 

December 2, 2019 GOAL DROUGHT IHEANACHO SAVES LEICESTER

GOAL DROUGHT IHEANACHO SAVES LEICESTER

Super Eagles star Kelechi Iheanacho is delighted to have provided an assist and scored deep into stoppage time for Leicester City, who came from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 in a pulsating Premier League game on Sunday.

The goal was Iheanacho’s third this season in three appearances. He has two goals in the Carabao Cup.

The win helped the Foxes close the gap on leaders Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

The goal was Iheanacho’s first in the EPL in 15 months. He last scored for the Foxes in their 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town in September 22, 2018.

Reacting to his performance, the former Manchester City forward said, “I’ve been waiting for this opportunity. “I knew one day it’s going to come,” Iheanacho   told  Skysports after the game. I’m happy today to get the goal and assisting Jamie.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy also praised Iheanacho for his instant impact on the game.

Iheanacho came on for Ayoze Perez in the 62nd minute and provided an assist for Vardy’s leveller.

“We were having a few chances but they were coming from a bit further out. Kelechi caused a few more problems for the defenders, he got us into space and he got the winner which he deserves. He thoroughly deserves this,” Vardy said on Iheanacho’s influence.

 Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers also added that he was pleased to see Iheanacho score his first of the season.

“I’m happy for him (Iheanacho) and the other guys because they don’t play as much. I’m so, so pleased.”
