Former Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, watched their 2-0 victory over Villarreal in the Champions League this week and was delighted by supporters who chanted his name during the game.
 
Solskjaer was sacked on Sunday morning, following a run of five defeats in seven Premier League fixtures.
 
The 48-year-old apologized to the travelling fans after what proved to be his final game in charge, as his side lost embarrassingly 4-1 by Watford on Saturday.
 
The Norwegian was booed by United’s fans at Vicarage Road, but his name was being sung by supporters who made the trip to Spain for their Champions League tie with Villarreal on Tuesday evening.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
 
According to Andy Mitten who was speaking on The Athletic’s ‘Talk of the Devils’ podcast, Solskjaer watched the match from his home.
 
Mitten says Solskjaer was “absolutely buzzing” by the fact that supporters continued to sing their “You are my Solskjaer” chant in his honour even after his departure.
 
Michael Carrick has been placed in temporary charge following Solskjaer’s exit.
 
However, United are now expected to appoint Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager for the remainder of the season.

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo says Nigeria is now focusing on non-oil exports.
 
He said the zero-oil plan promoted by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), affirms the country as being on economic diversification path.
 
Osinbajo spoke on Thursday when he received NEPC delegation led by the outgoing Executive Director/CEO, Segun Awolowo.
 
The VP said the country is on the right path and hailed the attention to non-oil exports.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
 
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) told policymakers to ensure that in the next few years, the zero-oil plan is achieved.
 
Osinbajo hailed Awolowo for his foresight and putting in place a plan that is well-structured and detailed.
 
“We are certainly getting away from the oil and gas era. We used to think that it will take a while, but today, the circumstances have changed.”
 
Osinbajo added that public investments from the European Union (EU) and multilateral oil and gas companies are fizzling out.
 
The VP noted that the Export Expansion Facility Programme (EEFP) is a natural progression for the zero-oil plan.
 
He advised stakeholders to brace up for the challenges ahead and ensure that the right things are done.

Operatives of the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Akwa Ibom state command have arrested one Elisha Effiong for allegedly conspiring with his wife to sell their two daughters aged 6 and 4 respectively for the sum of N700,000.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
Effiong, who lives in Cameroon with his wife was arrested in Uyo on November 15, 2021, through an intelligence while trying to sell their two daughters, identified as Abasifreke Edet and Rachael Edet.
A statement made available to newsmen Wednesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Umana Ukeme, quoted the suspect to have said that his decision to want to sell his children was borne out of extreme hardship.
According to the statement, the suspect confided with a private security guard of his plans while the guard, in turn, notified the commandant of the corps Mr. Abidemi Majekodunmi who immediately ordered the arrest of the culprit.
“The suspect, Elisha Edet Effiong,’was apprehended with his two children identified as Abasifreke Edet,6, and Rachel Edet 4, while attempting to sell them for N700,000 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
” Effiong, 40 years was apprehended at FulCare Hospital along Ekpanya Street, where he notified the Security guard of his intention to sell his two children to pay off his debt and meet other financial challenges.
“The security notified the NSCDC and immediately, Commandant Abidemi Majekodunmi detailed personnel of the Anti-human trafficking unit of the corps who swung into action and apprehended the suspect alongside with his two daughters: Abasifreke Edet 6 years old and Rachael Edet 4 years old”the statement reads in part.
According to Ukeme preliminary investigations have been concluded while that the case would be transferred to NAPTIP zonal office, Uyo for prosecution.
The commandant who commended the private security guard for the prompt release of intelligence that aided the arrest of the suspect, however, condemned the heinous act, describing it as a crime against humanity.
He called on Akwa Ibom people to always avail personnel of the corps with timely and actionable intelligence that could lead to arrest and tracking of criminal elements in the state.

Muhammadu Buhari yesterday rose from a national security meeting with service chiefs and heads of other security agencies, with a charge on them  to go after the terrorists and bandits terrorising Nigerians, especially on the highways.
According to him, security operatives will not rest until Nigerians are at peace.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
The President’s order came as members of the House of Representatives from Kaduna State also yesterday raised an alarm over the security threats, kidnappings and killings along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
Buhari, who spoke against the backdrop of frequent attacks on travellers on Abuja-Kaduna highway and other expressways in the country, also expressed delight over the free and fair gubernatorial election which held recently in Anambra and the roles played by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and reassured that nothing would threaten the 2023 general elections.
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who spoke after the meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said President Buhari appreciated the successes and gains recorded by all security chiefs, their agencies and intelligence organizations in security nationwide after he received briefs from them at the meeting.
 
He said:  “He (Buhari) is of the belief that more must and should still be done. But he commended all of them for the progress we are recording on all fronts.”
 
The minister stated further that President Buhari ordered the armed forces and other security agencies, intelligence organizations, not to rest on their oars, notwithstanding the progress and efforts being made to eliminate insurgency, banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and all the other criminalities.
 
“The President said we are not yet where we should be, that Nigerians deserve to live in peace and that until we achieved that, we will not rest,” he added.
 
Asked if the resurgence of criminal activities along Abuja-Kaduna highways was discussed at the meeting, Aregbesola said: “Oh, yes. The police and other security agencies have been mobilized to intensify surveillance, patrol in pursuit of the criminals.
 
“It’s not only about Abuja, Kaduna. Yes, Abuja-Kaduna belt was discussed specifically, but we appreciated the fact that we are in the season of festivity.
 
“So, all agencies committed to providing security for Nigeria and the maintenance of law and order have  been ordered to improve on their activities, intensify surveillance and minimize, if not eliminate totally, any threat to law and order anywhere in Nigeria.”
 
On who takes the lead, the police or the military, the minister said:   “Police, as I said, is the lead agency on internal security. So whatever I’ve said about maintenance of law and order will start with the police and then extend to all the other security agencies, certainly.”
 
Also asked if the issue or bandits collecting ransom, taking over and administering some areas in the country was discussed, he said: “Specific orders have been given to all our security agencies. And we’ll see an improved response to all those challenging the sovereignty of Nigeria in whatever form and creating insecurity in whatever form anywhere.
 
“The council, today (yesterday) took a firm decision on what to be done and I can assure Nigerians that with the charge from the President and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces today (yesterday), there will be an improved response to all forms of criminality in any part of Nigeria.”
 
On whether there were new strategies to that effect, especially as it was not the first time such a charge would be given by the President,  Aregbesola said: “But what I know is that for as long as there is life, we must not rest until our objective of making Nigeria safe for Nigerians is made possible.
 
”So, I am convinced that with the renewed charge to our security agencies, from the military, to the police, intelligence organizations and all other security forces, certainly Nigerians will feel and live better going forward.”
The Interior minister also said President Buhari was particularly pleased with the outcome of the November 6 governorship elections that produced former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Prof. Charles Soludo, as Anambra governor-elect.
 
He said: “The President was particularly happy with the fact that a free and fair election was made possible by INEC and our security agencies. And that that is a good assurance to all Nigerians, that we are committed to promoting democracy,  in respect of Anambra election.
 
“The President was particularly happy that a free and fair gubernatorial election held in Anambra.  And he was quite elated that the combination of INEC and  the security agencies, from the military to the police and all the other agencies made that possible, with the support of the people and government of Anambra State.
 
”We all saw the outcome. With that, there is no doubt as to the commitment of our administration to promote democracy, and ensure that 2023 is not in any way threatened.”
 
Aregbesola said Buhari was also particularly satisfied with the news that the Head of INTERPOL National Central Bureau, Assistant Inspector General of Police, Garba Umar, had been elected Vice President (Africa) and executive committee member of the International Criminal Police Organisation, INTERPOL.
 
“The council was briefed about the election today (yesterday) of a Nigerian, AIG Garba Umaru, who emerged out of four other candidates, as the vice president of Interpol for Africa, which means that a Nigerian today, represents the 54 African nations at the Interpol level.
 
”The election took place today (yesterday), a couple of hours ago. And he emerged as the vice president of Interpol in Africa, representing 54 African nations. That too was discussed, appreciated and applauded,” the minister said.
 
Present at the meeting were Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari; National Security Adviser, NSA, Major General Babagana Monguno, retd, and the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Leo Irabor.
 
Others include the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff and the Chief of Air Staff as well as the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Baba Alkali.
 
Before the meeting commenced, President Buhari, with the assistance of Vice President Osinbajo, had decorated his Aide=De-Camp, ADC, Lt Col Yusuf Mukhtar Dodo, with his new red neck rank of Colonel.
 
Meanwhile, lawmakers from Kaduna State in the House of Representatives yesterday expressed concern over the security threats, kidnappings and killings along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
 
Speaking under the aegis of Kaduna caucus at a briefing in Abuja, the lawmakers said  the situation was frightening.
 
Garba Datti, who read the text of their address, called on the security agencies to deploy personnel on the roads to tackle the menace.
 
He said:  “The state of insecurity in Nigeria has been a matter of grave concern to all well meaning patriots for several years now and this has come in the form of militancy, insurgency and banditry, among others.
 
”This state of insecurity has severely affected travel on Nigerian roads as Nigerians have either opted to remain where they are or opt for means of transportation that are outside their means or convenience.
 
“Not so long ago, there were concerning incessant incidents of banditry along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway and measures were taken that appeared to have minimised the threat on that stretch of road. It was hoped that that would be the beginning of the end of the challenge of insecurity on our roads as it affected the entire country.
 
”Sadly, this has not been the case. Instead, the phenomenon of banditry has steadily and increasingly found its way back to the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
 
“In the last five days, it has reached its deplorable and lamentable peak as a spate of attacks, killings, abductions, kidnappings and robberies that has engulfed the Abuja-Kaduna Highway has resulted in a crisis of frightening and calamitous proportions.
 
”On Sunday, November 21, 2021, in the most publicised but certainly not the only one of such daring attacks over the last few days, a retired Director of Protocol of the Federal Capital Development Authority, FCDA, and a governorship aspirant in Zamfara State, Hamidu Sagir, was brutally killed, while four yet-to-be ascertained number of commuters were abducted in terrifying circumstances.
 
“This seemingly underestimated onslaught on our individual, collective and national security has continued unabated, in spite of its seeming predictability. It is obvious that this should not be the case.
 
“There is no gainsaying the fact that security is one of the paramount policies of the current administration for which it has left no stone unturned towards neutralising the scourge. In addition, the Abuja-Kaduna highway is the critical gateway between the North and the South of Nigeria and the major link road to the North West and North East as well as to many neighbouring countries.
 
”Indeed, the Abuja Kaduna highway is the key outlet for the transportation of persons, goods and services across Nigeria and this is evident in the extraordinary traffic on it round the clock.
 
“For these and other reasons that cannot be accommodated in this statement, it is imperative that the secure state of the Abuja-Kaduna highway must be restored at once.
 
“Let us add that the perpetuation of this state of insecurity on the Abuja-Kaduna highway as well as many other highways in this country challenges the Nigerian state in terms of its obligations to Nigerians to guarantee the security and welfare of the people as the primary purpose of government pursuant to section 14(2)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
 
“Also, the killings and maiming on our highways severely infringe upon the right to life of Nigerians as guaranteed under section 33(1) of the Constitution. We must caution that the situation on the highways, particularly the Abuja-Kaduna highway, if not immediately rectified, spells doom for the economy and the social life of Nigerians, contrary to section 15(1) of the Constitution, which mandates the Nigerian state to ‘provide adequate facilities for and encourage free mobility of people, goods and services throughout’ Nigeria as well as section 41(1) which guarantees the right to freedom of movement throughout Nigeria to every Nigerian.
 
“We are worried that the sad consequence of this state of affairs is that this nation and Nigerians have lost a lot in human lives, financial resources, human dignity and citizen confidence as well as that the nation and Nigerians are at risk of losing substantially more.
 
“In our determination that this state of affairs must be immediately reversed as a matter of urgency in the discharge of the state’s obligation to guarantee the security and welfare of the people, we hereby call on the relevant security agencies in Nigeria to urgently and without further delay, collaborate to put an end to the nefarious and despicable activities of these criminals and secure the Abuja-Kaduna highway and all such other highways by deploying the personnel and material resources as well as intelligence necessary to accomplish the same.
 
“We shall encourage and support every effort by the House of Representatives, and, indeed, the National Assembly and every agency of government towards ensuring the restoration of calm and peace along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.”

Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday predicted that out-of-school children might soon be recruited by Boko Haram if the government failed to return them to classrooms.
<div> </div>
<div>Obasanjo stated this while addressing participants at the presidential youth mentorship retreat held at the Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The former President lamented the increase in the rate of out-of-school children, attributing security challenges to lack of proper education.<a id="more" name="more"></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>He noted that about 14 million children who ought to be in school are on the streets, saying that the situation is capable of worsening the nation’s security situation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>He said, “A situation today where we have 14 million children that should be in school that are not in school, does anybody need to be an oracle to say that 10 years or 15 years from now, those will be where you will recruit pure Boko Haram.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“So, if you deal with Boko Haram by stick today, in a few years’ time, the situation will be worst because we are talking about security, it will be worst.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“So, if we are talking of insecurity, where should we begin? If we are talking of poverty, where should we begin? It is education.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“Somebody asked ‘if everybody is educated, who will be a servant?’ and I said if everybody is educated, then we will get a better servant than you should have gotten from those that are not educated.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The former President maintained that the unity of Nigeria is paramount, stressing that he would fight for the unity of Nigeria throughout his life.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“I have no regret fighting for the unity of Nigeria and if it comes up tomorrow that it should be done and I have ability to do it, I will do what I have to do,” he added.</div>

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), has given reasons why the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, cannot reject the report of the  judicial panel on police brutality.
In a speech delivered on Thursday when some leaders of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights visited him in Lagos, Falana said, “Pursuant to the Tribunals of Inquiry Law, Laws of Lagos State, 2015, the Justice Doris Okuwobi Commission of Enquiry was instituted by the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, last year to probe allegations of police brutality in the State.
<a id="more" name="more"></a>
“Upon the conclusion of the assignment last week, the commission submitted ‘a full report in writing of its proceedings, findings and recommendations, records, opinions, and reasons leading to its conclusions’ in line with Section 15(1) of the Law.
“Thereafter, the governor set up a four-member committee of cabinet members headed by the state Attorney- 
General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), to advise him with respect to the position of the Government which will be contained in a White Paper.
“We are not unaware of the purported rejection of the report of the commission by the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, and the pressure on the White Paper Committee by some anti-democratic forces to advise the governor to jettison the findings and recommendations of the commission.”
Falana said critics were  not aware that there is no provision for the issuance of a White Paper under the law.
He described a White Paper as a mere administrative medium for conveying the decision or position of the government on the report of an administrative or judicial enquiry.
He added, “Since the White Paper Committee is not known to law, its members are not competent to edit, modify, alter, edit or reject the report of the Commission. More so, that the members of the White Paper Committee did not have the opportunity of taking evidence from the witnesses who had testified before the Commission.
“Having regard to the letter and spirit of the Tribunal of Enquiry Law, it is submitted that the Federal Government lacks the legal competence to reject the report of a panel of enquiry duly constituted by the Lagos State Government. Therefore, Governor Sanwo-Olu should not hesitate to reject the gratuitous call for the rejection of the report of the Lagos Judicial Commission by Mr Lai Mohammed.
“Once a White Paper is issued by the governor on the recommendations, the institutions and individuals indicted by the commission may wish to approach the High Court to challenge any aspect of the report.”
