 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.

HOTEL STAFF SENTENCED TO DEATH BY HANGING FOR KILLING EMPLOYER AND MANAGER IN LAGOS.(PHOTO).



Hotel staff sentenced to d£ath by hanging for k!lling employer and manager in Lagos


An Ikeja High Court has sentenced a 30-year-old hotel worker, Jeffrey Ehizojie, to d£ath by hanging for strangling his employer, Olusola Olusoga and the hotel manager, Tunji Omikunle, to d£ath in Lagos. 


Delivering judgment on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, Justice Oyindamola Ogala, held that the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubts.


Mrs. Ogala found Ehizojie guilty of beating and strangling the Managing Director of Etsahol Hotel and Suites located at Ojodu-Berger, Lagos. 


She said the crux of the case of the prosecution was premised on the confessional statement of the convict as well as circumstantial evidence.


According to her, the court had carefully considered the retracted defence statement, (which was admitted as evidence) which showed where Ehizojie stated that one of the hotel staff, Henry, had informed him that he observed that the owner of the hotel kept much money at home.


Mrs Ogala said: “the defendant, in his confessional statement  said that Olusoga treated her workers badly so they planned to tie her and collect her money.


“Confessional statement is the best evidence to ground conviction and as held in several cases, it can be relied upon solely where voluntary.


"It is curious that the defendant who was privy to the state of affairs in the hotel told  the court that he was shocked when the police informed him of the death of his boss and the manager when he was arrested at Port Harcourt.


“There is no doubt that the defendant was present at the premises of the scene of crime as confirmed by him in his evidence in chief and exhibits before the court,”


The judge held that the court had carefully considered the evidence of the defendant, particularly his account of how he left the hotel premises on Jan. 25, 2019 and his incredible story as to why he did not return to the hotel after the incident nor report at the police station.


She held that the convict had no clear explanation why fled to Port Harcourt the next day until his arrest.
