After bringing the Brighton forward back into the squad for their Women’s Nations League games against Belgium next month, England manager Sarina Wiegman says Fran Kirby “broughs a lot of experience and great vision.”
About 125, 000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), valued at about 125 million, have been seized in Kebbi State by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) agents in a significant blow to fuel smugglers.
According to Persecondnews, this massive seizure, which was carried out as part of “Operation Whirlwind,” is the largest fuel bust since the initiative’s inception.
Fuel smuggling poses a significant economic threat, according to ACG Hissaini Ejibunu, the national coordinator of Operation Whirlwind, on Tuesday, contributing to revenue losses, artificial scarcity, and security risks.
According to Ejibunu, “We are committed to dismantling these smuggling networks,” “Fuel smuggling is a major economic threat.”
4 375 jerrycans, each 25 litre, and 54 200 litre drums, each contained the confiscated fuel.
Prior to being intercepted in Tsamiya, officers had been watching the trucks being loaded with the fuel. They were registered in the Republic of Benin.
The collaboration between the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) was credited with the operation’s success.
The officers’ vigilance was commended by Customs Comptroller-General Bashir Adeniyi, who also thanked Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, the country’s top economic crime advisor, for his leadership.
Adeniyi urged Nigerians to report suspicious activity in support of Customs’ anti-smuggling efforts.
“This operation demonstrates the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration. We are still holding economic saboteurs accountable and destroying smuggling networks, Adeniyi said.
The introduction of a cheek swab test to determine an athlete’s biological makeup was approved by World Athletics on Tuesday, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
The decision-making Council of the international track and field federation, according to Sebastian Coe, was a “really important” way to safeguard the female category.
In a press conference following the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, Coe said, “It’s important to do it because it keeps everything that we’ve been talking about, especially recently, about actually guaranteeing the integrity of female women’s sport.”
We believe that this will give consumers confidence and keep the competition’s absolute focus on integrity.
Coe claimed that the decision was made following extensive discussion of the proposal.
Although he noted that the swab test was not deemed to be excessively intrusive, “overwhelmingly, the view has come back that this is absolutely the way to go.”
You acknowledge the fact that this is the world we live in, he said, confident that the policy would be upheld by legal challenges.
If I had been anything other than prepared to face the challenge head-on, I would never have chosen to pursue this path.
“Our DSD (difference of sex development) regulations have us going to the Court of Arbitration.”
They have been upheld, and after appeal, they have once more been upheld. So we will continue to fight for the female category and take all necessary steps to protect it.
With the resignation of Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja, the legal dispute between suspended senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Nigerian Senate has taken a dramatic turn.
The judge announced that he would be stepping aside as a result of a petition that the judge filed against the judge, which alleged the judge was impartial, when the case was scheduled for hearing on Tuesday.
Egwuatu made a statement stating that he would turn over the case file to the Chief Judge, who would then designate a new judge.
The judge effectively halted the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions from pursuing disciplinary actions against Akpoti-Uduaghan on March 4 according to Persecondnews’ previous reporting.
The senator is accused of breaking the Senate’s code of conduct and rules.
Egwuatu also provided the defendants with 72 hours to explain why the court shouldn’t launch an investigation into the Senator without violating the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, Senate Standing Order 2023, and Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act.
He gave the defendants’ attorneys permission to use substituted means to serve legal documents on them.
The court ordered that the legal documents be delivered either by posting them on the National Assembly’s premises or by handing them over to the clerk of the assembly.
Additionally, the court mandated that the documents be made available for public viewing through at least two national newspapers.
Following Akpoti-Uduaghan’s urgent application, the interim order was issued.
The Senate Committee convened in spite of the court’s ruling, which led to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension.
Justice Egwuatu revised and revised his initial order after receiving the defendants’ requests.
He lifted the bar that the Senate could not pursue the senator’s legal challenge while the case was pending.
The court’s authority to interfere with Senate affairs was challenged by the legal team representing Akpabio, led by Mr. Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN).
Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan’s heated argument sparked serious allegations of sexual harassment and defamation, which escalated to serious allegations of defamation and harassment against Akpabio.

Gerard Depardieu, a star of France and facing sexual assault charges, testified before a court in Paris on Tuesday that he had no habit of “groping” women.
“I don’t understand why I would grope a woman, her buttocks, and breasts all at once. In his first statement at the trial, where he is accused of sexual assault on two women while filming a movie in 2021, he said, “I’m not someone who rubs himself against others on the metro.”
Depardieu responded to the accusations that he was “not like that,” adding that “there are vices that are alien to me.”
Depardieu, 76, who has appeared in more than 200 movies and television shows, is the first woman to go on trial for allegedly abusing another 20 women.

He is the most well-known actor to be accused of being a part of French cinema’s response to the #MeToo movement.
The jury is charged with sexual assault in connection with Jean Becker’s film “Les Volets Verts” (“The Green Shutters”)’ 2021 filming.
A 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director, Anouk Grinberg, a well-known actor who appeared in the movie, have supported the two plaintiffs. Both women make allegations of sexual abuse.
Depardieu was repeatedly accused of making “salacious remarks” while filming, according to Grinberg, who claimed producers knew they were “hiring an abuser.”
Due to the actor’s poor health, the trial was originally scheduled to take place in October 2024.
His attorney claimed then that Depardieu had diabetes and had undergone a heart bypass procedure, which the stress of the upcoming trial had made them more anxious.
The 54-year-old set dresser Amelie, one of Depardieu’s two accusers, reported in February of last year that she had experienced sexual assault, harassment, and sexist insults while filming in September 2021.
She claimed Depardieu boasted to be able to “give women an orgasm without touching them” on French investigative website Mediapart and that he “brutally grabbed” her an hour later.
The actor pinned her by “closing his legs” around her, before groping her, going up to her breasts, and then closing his legs.
Depardieu, according to her, made “obscene remarks.”
