Akpeyi returns to Eagles for World Cup qualifier


South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi is set to be recalled by the Nigeria Football Federation for next month’s World Cup qualifier against Algeria. “Akpeyi will return for the Algeria match as he has been playing well and regularly in South Africa,” a team official disclosed.

 Akpeyi has been playing regularly for his South African club, Chippa United after he featured for Nigeria as one of the over-aged players at the recent Rio Olympics.

 Chippa are seventh on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) table with seven points from four matches. The former Warri Wolves shot stopper last appeared for the Super Eagles in an AFCON qualifier against Egypt in Alexandria in March. He will now be expected to be a cover for top choice Carl Ikeme for the home game against Algeria on November 12 in Uyo. His international experience dates far back to 2005, when he was on the squad for the FIFA U20 World Cup in the Netherlands.

Inside The Ibadan ritual camp

Image
     IBADAN, the Oyo State capital, has of late been in the news for not very good reasons. In what could easily pass as a scene from a horror film, a slave camp was discovered in the heart of the city.               This camp where unspeakable horrors have been committed apparently combined the functions of a shrine with that of a home or a transit camp where captives were randomly raped and offered up for rituals after vital organs have been taken out of their body.                                                        The Ibadan camp of horror brings under one roof the cannibal practice of Clifford Orji and the blood-chilling sacrifices and oath-taking of Okija. Like Orji’s one-man practice, the site was located in a city but like the Okija shrine, the camp was enveloped in a wilderness...
