Chelsea sack manager José Mourinho after disastrous start to title defence

Image
Chelsea have parted company with manager José Mourinho. The Portuguese returned to the club in 2013 and won the Premier League title last season, but having sunk to 16th place in the table, the Stamford Bridge outfit have dismissed their manager. Mourinho’s side have lost nine league games this season, the worst defence of a Premier League title ever. The latest loss was to Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City,2-1 at the King Power Stadium. Afterwards Mourinho took the unusual step of criticising his players. “I feel my work is betrayed,” he said. “I worked four days in training for this match. I identified four movements where Leicester score a lot of their goals and in two of the four situations I identified they scored their goals. I went through it all with the players, you can ask them.” After the defeat it had seemed a matter of when, not if, Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich would act, with the club in real danger of slipping into the relegation zone over the crowded festive...

$2.1bn arms deal scandal: I only received $30,000 from Yuguda as logistics for PDP reconcilation meetings' Bode George

Image
Former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Bode George, who has been implicated in the current $2.1 billion arms deal scandal, has denied claims of collecting N100 million from former Minister of state for Finance Bashir Yuguda. According to him, what he collected from Yuguda was $30,000 meant for logistics of some PDP elders who were charged to reconcile warring factions in the party. He said this in a statement he released yesterday. Read the statement after the cut... “My attention has been drawn to another mischievous and deliberately fraudulent claim that I collected N100 million from Bashir Yuguda, the former Minister of State for Finance. This is another blatant falsehood, stripped of any iota of truth. This is yet again a depraved continuation of lynch mob journalism orchestrated by an online newspaper. The salient fact is that very early this year, long before the election period, the party set up Contact and Mobilization Committee for each zone to reconcile various factions ...

Did Putin threaten to go nuclear on ISIS?

Image
Vladimir Putin has warned that a new underwater missile system deployed by Russian submarines in the war against ISIS in Syria could be equipped with nuclear warheads. The Russian president said that although using nuclear weapons was a possibility, he hoped that they would 'never be needed' in the fight against terrorism.  His warning came as Russia stepped up its barrage on Syrian rebels with its first submarine-launched cruise missile strikes combined with bombing raids from the air. Speaking on Russian state television today, Putin claimed his military had struck '300 targets of different kinds' in the past three days and helped Syrian special forces recover the black box of a Russian warplane downed by Turkey last month. President Putin said the cruise missiles, launched from the submarine in the Caspian Sea, could be equipped with nuclear warheads but said he hoped they would 'never be needed in the fight against terrorism'.

Convicted killer Michael Adebolajo sues prison service after having two teeth knocked out in jail

Image
Remember Michael Adebolajo, the man who knocked down a soldier and stabbed him to death in broad day light just because he was wearing a military uniform in 2012? Well, he is suing the Prison Service for compensation after two teeth were knocked out in jail. The Islamic fanatic, 32, launched the £20,000 claim following an incident with prison guards as they tried to restrain him. He is alleged to have become agitated as five officers led him from his cell in maximum security Belmarsh prison and claims the resulting struggle led to the loss. But the Ministry of Justice said it thoroughly investigated the 2013 incident and found staff had done nothing wrong. Wednesday night a spokesman said: “A police investigation into this incident took place and no charges were brought against members of staff. “The public will be rightly outraged at the thought of this man receiving compensation from the taxpayer and we robustly defend claims made against the Prison Serv...

Father of Paris attacker said he would 'have killed' son if he knew of plot

Image
The father of the third gunman in the attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris said Wednesday he would "have killed" his son had he known what he was planning. Said Mohamed-Aggad told AFP he only found out on Wednesday, with the rest of the nation, that his 23-year-old son Foued was among the three gunmen who sprayed concert-goers with assault rifles, killing 90 people in the worst attack of the November 13 carnage. "Of course I'm surprised," he told reporters outside his home in Bischheim, a suburb of the northeastern city Strasbourg. Had he known his son was planning to take part in the jihadist rampage that killed 130 people in total, "I would have killed him myself beforehand," he said. Mohamed-Aggad said he was aware his son had travelled to Syria in 2013 with a group of youths from the Strasbourg area, "but not that he had returned". "The last time I saw him was two years ago when he left. I have no words, I only found out ...
