The Most Wanted Person In Nigeria: Where is IFEANYI DIKE ?

There are certain things we've witnessed in Nigeria that has embarrased us but this...this is a National disgrace. Witnessing this happen in Nigeria has got me wondering how secure we are in this country with this level of incompetence from the Nigerian Police. For those of you who don’t know, a 200 level student identified as Ifeanyi Dike confessed to rapping an 8yr old girl and cutting off her body parts, including her vagina, to use for money rituals. The part that has got me ragging is that this young man was caught by vigilantes and then he was handed over to the NIGERIAN POLICE for prosecution. On arriving at the police station, something “funny” happened. He escaped ! Can you imagine that ? Like who would have thought that we had a “Michael Scofield” in Nigeria ? Is this the ‘Prison Break’ movie ? If I was in charge, I would have sacked/punished everyone who was on duty at that time and who’s duty post was incidental to that escape. This is preposterous ! How can

This game turned out to be as expected, with everyone predicting that Man City will finally go top of the league ahead of Arsenal and continue their dominance going forward. It only took City 3 minutes to get the party started, as Fulham’s Tim Ream was negligent in his 18 yard box by tripping Julian Alvarez in the penalty box. Erling Haaland took the penalty and scored from the spot kick.  Once the first blood was drawn, it was City all the way - in control of the majority of the possession and dictating the run of play. City made several attempts to double their lead with multiple attempts from Riyad Mahrez, Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez but eventually, it was Fulham that got the equalizer in the 15 th  minute of the game. The goal came from Vinicius, assisted by Harry Wilson. With that goal making it stalemate, the game was back on. Mancity continued dominating possession; Fulham’s Tim Ream was then injured, taken off and was replaced by Issa Diop. There was also the Jac
