 1980 AFCON Champion Charles Bassey Dies at 71 Charles Bassey, a member of Nigeria’s historic 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad, has died at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. He passed away on Saturday in his hometown, Eket, Akwa Ibom State. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed his death in a statement released on Monday by its General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, describing the loss as part of a “day of double tragedy” following the earlier death of team captain Christian Chukwu. Bassey was part of the Green Eagles team that secured Nigeria’s first AFCON title with a 3-0 victory over Algeria at the National Stadium in Lagos on March 22, 1980. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and managed several clubs, including Calabar Rovers, Mobil Pegasus, BCC Lions, Flash Flamingoes, Akwa United, and Wikki Tourists. His passing brings the number of deceased members of the 1980 squad to nine.

 Texas- A 12-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy stab their 59-year-old neighbor with cognitive disabilities after a short argument.


Harris County Sheriff's Department responded to a home in Houston after the 59-year-old woman's brother went to check on her and noticed she was suffering from several serious wounds to her stomach.


When asked about what happened the woman simply said the boys from the neighborhood had poked her in the stomach.


As police investigated they uncovered surveillance video that showed the entire ordeal.


The woman, who neighbors describe as problematic due to her deteriorating mental state, and the 2 boys are involved in a brief argument as they ride their bikes past her house. Only moments later the 2 boys can be seen returning to the home. Both of the children are wearing gloves and quickly make their way into the garage. 


Once inside the two boys allegedly stabbed the woman multiple times in the stomach. After the attack the 2 boys can be seen running back out and getting on their bikes before riding away.


The woman was transported to a local hospital where she underwent surgery and spent the weekend in critical condition. However reports today say she is recovering.


The 12-year-old was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault. Texas has a law on the books that prohibits children under 10 years old from being charged in a crime so the 7-year-old child will not be charged.


The boy's mother has released the following statement; "I'm very sorry to the family, I'm very sorry my sons have committed this incident. And I'm praying for your health, for your wellness." She added her son has mental problems.


We will update.
