  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality.

 AFCON Final: Osimhen Leads, Chukwueze, Sanusi Included In Starting XI


The Super Eagles of Nigeria made two changes to the starting lie-up for their AFCON 2023 final encounter with the host Ivory Coast.


The Super Eagles recalled Samuel Chukwueze to the line-up while Zaidu Sanusi recovered from injury to make the starting XI.


Moses Simon and Bright Osayi-Samuel are the players that were dropped to the bench by Jose Peseiro.


It is, however, the usual players on the starting line-up with Victor Osimhen leading the line while Stanley Nwabali remains the man between the sticks.


William Troost-Ekong captains the side and also leads his three-man backline that also includes trusted lieutenants Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey.


Ola Aina will look to continue his marauding runs on the flank while the midfield duo of Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi would face a monumental task of holding the Ivoirians’ physical midfield.


The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face the Elephants of Ivory Coast at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan for the prize of a fourth AFCON title from 9pm.


Eagles starting XI

Stanley Nwabali, Semi Ajayi, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Zaidu Sanusi, Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi, Frank Onyeka, Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen.
