Judge declines fayose

Abuja: A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday refused to halt the impeachment proceeding being spearheaded by the Ekiti State House of Assembly against Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola.
The impeachment proceeding notice is said to have been served on the governor and his deputy by the 19 All Progressives Congress members, who have been at loggerheads with the governor since he came on board last October.
Although Fayose has been working with only six members of the PDP in the House, the APC lawmakers, which the governor does not recognise, returned to the state this week with an impeachment notice, prompting the closure of the House of Assembly by security agents.

Mohammed runs away from camp

Flying Eagles captain Musa Mohammed has ‘vanished’ from the Nigeria U23 camp in Abuja and has travelled abroad for trials without Samson Siasia’s permission.

Musa Mohammed
The right-back had been impressive for the Dream Team VI in training but left the camp last Friday after he took permission from the coach, Samson Siasia, with the excuse that he was going to Lagos to collect his international passport from the German embassy.
But the 18-year old has travelled abroad for trials and is yet to make any contact with the team since he left on Friday.
“Musa Mohammed vanished from the camp on Friday. He told us he was going to Lagos to collect his international passport from the German embassy but we are yet to see or hear anything from him,” the team’s spokesperson, Timi Ebikagboro confirmed.
Mohammed, alongside Dele Alampasu, Mustapha Abdullahi, Taiwo Awoniyi and Bernard Bulbwa were invited to the Nigerian U23’s shortly after they won the Africa Youth Championship in Senegal.
Alampasu, Awoniyi, Mustapha and Mohammed joined immediately, but Bulbwa had to travel to sign for Tunisian club, Esperance, and only joined the team last week.
But Mohammed has now left the team, and will not be part of the All Africa Games qualifier against Zambia this weekend in Lusaka, which the Dream Team must win or play out a score draw to be guaranteed a place at the All Africa Games.
