 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

LAGOS WARNS AGAINST DEVELOPING MAGODO WETLANDS.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

 

… Says Revised Magodo Residential Scheme Is Sacrosanct
The Lagos State Government has issued a warning to all property owners and developers in the Magodo Residential Schemes to immediately desist from developing wetlands in the area.
This warning was contained in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako at the weekend.
The Commissioner said that it was worrisome to observe that some people were attempting to take advantage of the sign-off of the Revised Schemes by making efforts to construct a building on the wetlands without approvals from relevant Government Agencies.
He said that the State Government is irrevocably committed to the planning standards enunciated in the painstaking Revised Magodo Schemes document and would go all the way to ensure total compliance in the interest of a sustainable Lagos State.
Salako emphasised that indiscriminate development of wetlands would not be encouraged anywhere in the State as it is potentially dangerous and harmful to the environment.
He canvassed that every part of the State should take a cue from the prohibition of indiscriminate reclamation of Osborne and Banana Island foreshores, and extension of land into the waterways as well as the subsequent clampdown and demolition of buildings illegally erected in the prohibited areas.
Noting the importance of the wetlands, he reiterated that the State would not allow any development on the Magodo greenbelt without recourse to necessary clearance and approval from relevant Government Agencies, adding that the wetland must be preserved as an environmental asset for flood control.
His words: "I wish to emphasise that the Administration of Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu does not pay lip service to Physical Planning issues because of their overarching importance to the achievement of a sustainable Lagos”.

"This informs why the Revised Magodo Scheme and its dictates for the development of the elite residential schemes are sacrosanct and any deviation from it will be met with serious punitive measures", Salako asserted.
