 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.

PDP DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE EXPLAINS WHY WIKE, ATIKU, OTHERS CAN'T BE SUMMONED. (PHOTO).


 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Disciplinary Committee has shed light on why it hasn't summoned certain party chieftains, including Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, to appear before it. According to Chairman Chief Tom Ikimi, the committee's mandate is limited to addressing petitions formally submitted against party members.¹


Ikimi emphasized that the committee doesn't act on allegations published in newspapers, but rather relies on official petitions. This means that unless a formal complaint is filed, the committee won't take action, regardless of when the alleged infractions occurred.


This clarification comes amid calls for disciplinary action against Wike and others over their role in the 2023 presidential election. Wike faced criticism for leading the G5 governors who worked against PDP's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.


In related news, the committee was set to hear petitions against former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom and National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu. However, both individuals failed to appear, citing health challenges and non-receipt of petitions, respectively. Despite having evidence that the petitions were served, the committee has decided to defer the hearing to March 4 to ensure a fair hearing.


"We believe all will be well, and the committee is going to be fair to everyone," Ikimi assured.
