  The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to hold an emergency meeting to address the uncertainty surrounding the future of Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle. According to sources, Chelle is considering terminating his contract as the team's manager. The development comes amidst Nigeria's struggles to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With only seven points from six games, the Super Eagles are currently fourth in Group C, behind leaders South Africa, Rwanda, and Benin Republic. Pressure has been mounting on Chelle, prompting him to travel to Europe in search of reinforcements to bolster the team's defense. However, the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team has reportedly led to a change of heart, with Chelle now considering terminating his contract. The NFF's emergency meeting aims to address the situation and find a resolution. The fate of Chelle and the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifying campaign hang in the balance.

Four arrested in Uganda over ā€˜acts of homosexualityā€™

22nd Aug 2023 

Ugandan police on Monday announced the arrest of four people for allegedly engaging in same-sex activity, three months after the introduction of draconian anti-gay legislation sparked international outrage.

The law considered one of the harshest of its kind in the world ā€” contains provisions making ā€œaggravated homosexualityā€ a potentially capital offence and penalties for consensual same-sex relations of up to life in prison.

A police spokeswoman told AFP the authorities had arrested four people including two women at a massage parlour in the eastern district of Buikwe on Saturday.

ā€œThe police operation was carried out following a tip-off by a female informant to the area security that acts of homosexuality were being carried out at the massage parlour,ā€ Hellen Butoto said.

The United Nations, foreign governments including the United States, and global rights groups have condemned the new legislation, which was signed into law in May.

This month the World Bank announced it was suspending new loans to the East African nation, saying the law ā€œfundamentally contradictsā€ the values espoused by the US-based lender.

In May, US President Joe Biden called for the immediate repeal of the measures he branded ā€œa tragic violation of universal human rightsā€ and threatened to cut aid and investment in Uganda.

But the government has remained defiant and the legislation has broad support in the conservative, predominantly Christian country, where lawmakers have defended the measures as a necessary bulwark against perceived Western immorality.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has accused the World Bank of using money to try to ā€œcoerceā€ the government to drop the controversial legislation. (AFP)
