Senator Dino Melaye has said that he would report Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and several others to the international community and then to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the violence that occurred during the November 16 elections.

Melaye lost his nephew in the violence after gunmen opened fire at his Aiyetoro ward.

The lawmaker said in a tweet on Tuesday that he would take the matter up to the international community, saying the exercise in Kogi was a civil war, not an election.

“What we had in Kogi is no election, what we had was a civil war that has claimed 16 lives so far. I will report Bello, Smart Adeyemi, Taofik, Speaker Kolawole and Sunday Faleke to the international community and then proceed to Hague. This I promise,” he wrote.

Bello was on Monday declared winner of the governorship election while Kogi West senatorial rerun election, which was held simultaneously on November 16, was declared inconclusive.

Melaye, a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is being challenged for Kogi West senatorial seat by Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

East Jaintia Hills Police have arrested three more Nigerian nationals for entering India illegally through Bangladesh, the Meghalaya Police, said on Monday, November 18.

The district SP, Vivekananda Singh, said that on November 15 around 12.30 am, the three African nationals were detected by Ratacherra CP staff while travelling in a night super bus (AS-01-KC-0299) from Agartala to Guwahati.

They were detained for interrogation but since they could not produce valid documents to support their entry into India, they were arrested.

The case has been registered at Lumshnong PS and an investigation has been launched into the matter.

Bangladesh border is fast becoming a entry point for Nigerian citizens to enter India illegally. With these arrests, East Jaintia Hills Police have arrested a total of twenty-two Nigerians in the past two months alone.

Meghalaya police chief R Chandranathan said, “We are taking this case very seriously. All ramifications and possibilities are being probed”.

The probe has unraveled vital leads, like all the Nigerian citizens who were travelling in groups belong from the southern zone of the country, which is Christian dominated. Bangladeshi agents in Nigeria are responsible for their travel and itinerary who also might have helped facilitate their cross into India.

Their aim was to reach New Delhi where a large diaspora of Nigerians lives in the southern districts. Many Nigerians have also been convicted for drug peddling in India, but the police believe that these arrested men were motivated by the prospect of earning money through cyber crime.

The latest report of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) revealed that Nigerians constituted about 40 percent of foreigners arrested for drug crimes in India during 2017.

“If they are able to earn money through fraud, they might return through the same route to Bangladesh after making provisions for the transfer of the amount. And if they are convicted for crimes, then they would serve the jail sentence and then get deported. It’s a risk worth taking for them,” claimed a middle-rung official of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI).

However, what concerns Indian security agencies is that the Nigerian nationals went unnoticed and were apprehended 200 kilometres into Assam and Meghalaya.
The development also establishes the existence of safe routes that facilitate the movement of people and commodities across the border and raises serious national security implications.

Chris Hanen

A veteran Nigerian singer, Chris Hanen, who was popular for his 1990 hit track, ‘Ozigizaga’ is dead.

The singer, whose real name is Christian Aghanenu, died on Wednesday after an illness. He was 60.

A former president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Tony Okoroji, disclosed this in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

“I just received with shock the news of the passing on of the great Ozigizaga exponent, Chris Hanen. Chris was a very talented and committed musician who worked with me closely on several projects in our days at EMI,” Mr Okoroji wrote.

“Last year, Chris Hanen was at the funeral of Moses of Felyxx and Mozzyz fame. He was also at COSON House for the celebrated funeral of Rub-A-Dub Master, Ras Kimono. Chris was very humble and an easy-going person who will be terribly missed by all of us in the music industry who knew him. May the soul of Chris ‘Ozigizaga’ Hanen rest in peace.”

The soft-spoken singer shot into limelight after the release of his debut album ‘Turning Point’ in 1990.

But his fame and fortune began to dwindle, shortly after he dropped his sophomore album, ‘New Dawn’ in 1991.

He faded off the music scene subsequently and remained out of the public radar ever since.

At the peak of his career, he worked with the likes of Bright Chimezie, Tony Okoroji, Stella Monye, Onyeka Onwuenu, Chris Mba and many others.

He started out as a DJ and performed for famous Nigerian musicians.

In an interview published in 2005, the late singer was quoted as saying, “I started my apprenticeship by following musicians, playing for them and eventually I did my album, ‘Turning Point’ that contained the celebrated track Ozigizaga and that was the turning point of my life”.

Carlo Ancelotti 

Arsenal will hold talks with Carlo Ancelotti after the Italian was sacked by Napoli on Tuesday night.

The north London club are still searching for a permanent replacement for Unai Emery, who was dismissed a fortnight ago having overseen a run of seven games without a win.

Several names have been linked as potential candidates and Ancelotti has emerged as a possibility following his exit from the Serie A club. The former Chelsea boss was sacked hours after Napoli had beaten Genk 4-0 to book their spot in the Champions League knockout stages

A statement from the Italian side read: "SSC Napoli has decided to revoke the role of first-team coach from Mr Carlo Ancelotti.

"The rapport of friendship, admiration and reciprocal respect between the club, its president [Aurelio De Laurentiis] and Carlo Ancelotti remain intact."

Everton are interested in Ancelotti, 60, and will also look to speak to him about succeeding Marco Silva, who was sacked last week.

Goal has been told that Arsenal’s priority is a younger coach, but that a figure like Ancelotti can’t be ruled out given his wealth of experience at the top level where he has managed clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

The three-time Champions League winner is believed to be keen on returning to England, where he spent two years in charge of Chelsea a decade ago - winning the double in 2009-10.

Official discussions with Arsenal are expected over the coming days as the Gunners continue to sound out potential candidates before drawing up a final shortlist.

One man who has been heavily linked with the role is former Valencia coach Marcelino, with some reports suggesting he was interviewed in London this week.
Goal has been told, however, that the 54-year-old is not being viewed as a leading contender to replace Emery. Neither is Paulo Sousa, despite claims that he has been targeted by the Gunners.

The Portuguese coach is currently in charge of Bordeaux in France but his representatives have been quoted in the French press claiming Arsenal are interested in taking him to Emirates Stadium

"They like his profile, not just as a coach but also as a person," an unnamed member of Sousa’s entourage told L'Equipe. "This does not mean that he will leave.

"They are in talks with multiple candidates but Paulo is part of that list, certainly. Between the two, it could work.

"But with all the problems currently ongoing at Bordeaux, why wouldn't he leave? The project is not what was promised to him, that is a fact. He loves the fans but he needs more from the board, the team is not strong enough to finish in the top six."

Mikel Arteta remains the leading candidate to replace Emery, but Manchester City would be reluctant to let Pep Guardiola’s assistant coach leave before the end of the season. Patrick Vieira is also being viewed favourably by the Arsenal hierarchy.

But head of football Raul Sanllehi and technical director Edu will not be rushed into making a decision and they continue to fully support Freddie Ljungberg, who got his first win as interim boss on Monday night against West Ham.

Importantly, the squad are happy with what the 42-year-old has done since being installed and the hierarchy back him to do the job for as long as is needed.
