The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has warned police officers and their commanders against use of force on peaceful protesters.

 

He reiterated citizens’ rights to freedom of expression, assembly and movement, which should be protected by the police. Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank Mba, who disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, noted that the IGP also appealed to protesters to conduct themselves peacefully and guard their ranks against infiltration by criminal elements.

 

SIMILARLY, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has appealed to the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to ensure that the improved human rights records of the army under him is not destroyed by the temptation to dabble into the national outrage against police excesses.

Football is a game of passion and love. It's one of the sports games that come with a lot of feelings and dramas. There was a special football match between Chelsea and Swansea City on January 23, 2013. It was the Capital one Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Swansea city which Chelsea was removed by Swansea city. During the game, when the ball was out of play, the ball boy named Charlie Morgan chose to waste time during the second half by keeping onto the ball. Charlie declined to give the ball back to Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard, accidentally kicking him during the process of trying to get the ball from him. A red card was given to Hazard and they were sent off the pitch.

He was later brought by his father to see Hazard. On Chelsea TV, Hazard apologized, saying, " I think I kicked the ball and not the boy." I apologize. The boy came and we had a talk in the dressing room and I apologized and he apologized. It is over. "Sorry." Eden Hazard was so nice and gracious to do that In 2019, Hazard left Chelsea for Real Madrid, where he is currently playing. The 29-year-old professional midfielder is currently trying to give his new club his best.

Charlie Morgan, at the moment, is doing well. Charlie has been a wealthy entrepreneur, he is currently the co-owner of a British brand called "Au Vodka" which has become the highest-selling alcoholic drink in the Uk market. This is what he is about and he has been doing well at the moment.

From a "ball boy to a co-owner" such is life.
