 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. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

 Outrage as Anambra Government Demolishes Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Head Office


The Anambra State government has sparked controversy by demolishing parts of the head office of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) in Nnewi, along the Owerri-Nnewi road, on April 16. The partial demolition, which affected the office’s perimeter fence, some offices, a staircase, and the company’s showroom, has drawn sharp criticism from IVM, which claims it received no prior notification.


Mr. Cornel Osigwe, Head of Corporate Communications at Innoson Group, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Saturday, describing the demolition as sudden and disruptive. “The staff were working when the demolition vehicle began tearing down the building. Some workers were trapped inside, and over 20 vehicles were also trapped,” Osigwe said. He noted that while a public announcement had been made a day earlier about demolitions with a one-week relocation notice for marked buildings, IVM was unaware its head office was targeted.


Osigwe questioned why other nearby marked buildings were spared, raising concerns about possible ulterior motives. “The way this happened makes us wonder if those handling the demolition have a personal vendetta against the company,” he said, though he dismissed suggestions of a political witch-hunt, citing Governor Charles Soludo’s support for IVM.


Defending the action, Anambra State Commissioner for Works, Mr. Ifeanyi Okoma, insisted the IVM head office was among buildings marked for demolition to facilitate road construction aimed at easing traffic congestion during festive periods. “These buildings were marked in December or January. This is not personalized; it affects all structures along the road, including the Catholic Church,” Okoma said. He emphasized Soludo’s commitment to IVM, noting that the governor exclusively uses Innoson vehicles and urged against misrepresenting the demolition exercise.
