 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.

 Lawmakers Resist as Obasa Pushes for Clerk’s Reinstatement


Reinstated Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, held a reconciliation meeting with lawmakers on Tuesday following the recent leadership crisis that led to his removal and subsequent reelection.


The meeting, held at the Assembly complex in Alausa, Ikeja, came after Mojisola Meranda resigned as Speaker and returned to her former position as Deputy Speaker, following intervention from APC leaders Bisi Akande and Olusegun Osoba.


Key Points from the Meeting:

Lawmakers remain divided over Obasa’s return, with some still bitter about how they were pressured into reinstating him.

Discussions focused on the case involving suspended Clerk Olalekan Onafeko, who had sued the Assembly after being replaced with Ottun Babatunde following Obasa’s removal in January.

Obasa is pushing for Onafeko’s reinstatement, but many lawmakers oppose this move, though some are reconsidering.


Tensions Remain in the Assembly:

Some lawmakers complained about Obasa’s leadership style, including starting the meeting late without an apology.

Obasa’s return was not a unanimous decision, with lawmakers saying they only reinstated him out of respect for APC leaders.

The House remains divided, and lawmakers doubt whether normalcy will return anytime soon.


Meanwhile, Onafeko remains open to a political resolution while awaiting the court’s decision on his case. It remains unclear if Obasa will withdraw his legal action against the Assembly.
