Published

on

Super Falcons manager Justin Madugu emphasizes that smart squad rotation will be crucial for Nigeria’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title defense, as the team targets a six-match run to the final.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Highlighting Gift Monday’s resilience as an example, Madugu explained that his technical crew is actively engaging with squad members who have had fewer minutes on the pitch.

“It’s a long tournament. We are expecting to play six games and given the timing of matches in this competition, you really must know how to manage your players very well… so that we can sustain the performance of the team and not allow the selection of players to drop the standards.”

Key Takeaways

  • Readiness is Essential: Madugu noted that every player must stay physically, mentally, and psychologically prepared for sudden call-ups as the grueling tournament progresses.

  • Selection Dilemmas: Following Gift Monday’s impressive outing against Egypt, Madugu faces tough choices in a star-studded attacking lineup that features Asisat Oshoala, Uchenna Kanu, Joy Omewa, Esther Okoronkwo, Chinwendu Ihezuo, and Folashade Ijamilusi.

  • A “Good Headache”: The coach admitted that the immense depth and talent within the squad lead to intense, detailed discussions among the coaching staff before finalizing matchday squads.

THE ₦400 MILLION TRAIL: Police Expose How PFIPC DG Adeyemi Blew Massive Funds!

Published

A comprehensive Nigeria Police Force (NPF) investigation report, finalized on July 24, 2026, has revealed that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged operator of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), misused approximately ₦400 million on personal expenses. Contrary to Adeyemi’s claims that this sum was a facilitation fee to secure a government appointment through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, police found no evidence of such a transaction. Instead, forensic analysis confirmed forgery of appointment letters and other official documents, with financial records showing the funds were spent on luxury items, vehicles, and relatives. Further compounding his financial situation, Adeyemi allegedly secured an additional ₦100 million loan to maintain his high-end lifestyle.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The investigation also uncovered severe lapses in due diligence across several government bodies, which allowed the fraudulent council to gain official recognition. Five senior public officials—including directors in the offices of the Accountant-General and Head of Service, and staff from the Budget Office and Ministry of Budget—have been identified as having facilitated Adeyemi’s access to government processes. The NPF has recommended the prosecution of these officials, subject to legal counsel, alongside the interrogation of 22 other individuals connected to the case. The findings have been forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation and other relevant security and government agencies.
