Dalung urges Dikko to submit himself to the Police

Nigeria’s minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has washed his hands off the guarantee he gave the Police to bring personally the League Management Company (LMC) chairman, Shehu Dikko, to the police. He has advised the latter to go and submit himself to the police.

Dikko

Dikko was last Sunday morning arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport Abuja on the return of the senior national team, the Super Eagles, from the first leg 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia.

Dalung was used to appeal to the policemen who c o n c e d e d after due consultations with their bosses. Since then , Dikko has become an eel and Dalung could not meet up with his promise to the Police. For three consecutive days, the policemen were reporting and closing from Dalung’s office to collect their prey. Every effort to make Dikko come out of his hole became tight and difficult. Arising from the frustration, Dalung has advised Dikko to submit himself to the police saying “nobody is above the law.”

Sources said that the arrest of Dikko had been effected already and it took the special intervention of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, to get a reprieve.

The police officers who laid a siege at the airport at about11:30pm on Sunday swooped into action to arrest the LMC chairman as soon as he stepped out from the Arik airplane chartered by the Nigeria contingent.

Dalung promised to provide Dikko before the FCT police command the next day.

A disproportionately large number of women and children were killed in the attack because it targeted henna night, a part of the celebration attended mainly by women and children. Turkish officials said the type of bomb used, which contained scraps of metal, was similar to those used in previous attacks on pro-Kurdish gatherings. ...

Conte: Chelsea must learn to kill matches

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says his side must learn to kill off matches quicker following their 3-2 League Cup win over Bristol Rovers. Michy Batshuayi scored two goals either side of a Victor Moses strike at Stamford Bridge to send the home side into the third round, but they were given a fright when the visitors twice halved a two-goal deficit through Peter Hartley and an Ellis Harrison penalty. The victory is Conte's third in competitive matches as Chelsea boss, following 2-1 wins over West Ham and Watford in the Premier League - both of which came about thanks to late goals from Diego Costa. And the former Italy boss wants his players to become more ruthless in their approach in order to prevent similarly nervy encounters in future. "These games are very tough," he told BBC Radio London Sport. "When you dominate the game, you must kill the game. In this case, we didn't do this. "It's a pity because when you're playing very well, creating a lot...
