 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry.

 ASAGBA ASABA EXCUSES HIMSELF FROM PARTICIPATING AS CHAIRMAN, TECHNICAL COMMITTEE OF PROPOSED ANIOMA STATE


This is to inform the proponents for the creation of Anioma State that, with immediate effect, His Royal Majesty (HRM), Asagba Prof Epiphany C. Azinge, OON, SAN, LLD(HC), FNIAL, FICMC, KSJI, KSG, has decided to excuse himself from participating as Chairman of the Technical Committee of the quest for the creation of Anioma State. His Royal Majesty, however, remains irreversibly committed to the idea of creation of Anioma State within the historically recognized Anioma entity. 


The reasons for the above are as follows:

A. Irreconcilable differences as regards the geographical boundaries and the delineation of the territory to be known as Anioma State. 

B. Clandestine and delusional complicity to move the Capital of the proposed Anioma State out of Asaba. 


As the Traditional Ruler of Asaba, HRM, the Asagba of Asaba, cannot be seen to be presiding over the liquidation and decimation of his kingdom. HRM’S Oath of Office enjoins him, at all times, to protect, preserve and defend the interest and wellbeing of Asaba people. Any thing, whatsoever, that will lead HRM to compromise his oath of office will always be rejected. 


Ogbueshi Dr (Engr) Jude C. Mgbeze, KSJI 

Private/Personal Secretary to HRM
