 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday. Amupitan announced that INEC has entered into a partnership with NIMC to deliver a credible voters’ register and transparent elections. He said INEC would leverage NIMC’s robust data archi...

Victor Osimhen: Napoli president to stand trial over deal involving Super Eagles star


The transfer involving Victor Osimhen has now dragged Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis to court


Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been ordered to stand trial over allegations of false accounting tied to the club’s financial statements between 2019 and 2021.


The case, which centres heavily on Victor Osimhen’s 2020 transfer from Lille, will move forward without affecting Napoli’s sporting status.


Prosecutors allege that Napoli inflated capital gains (plusvalenze) by assigning artificially high valuations to players included in the deals, particularly goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis and three Primavera youngsters, Manzi, Palmieri and Liguori, who were sent to Lille as part of the Osimhen package.


De Laurentiis, his associate Andrea Chiavelli, and the club itself have all been sent to trial, with proceedings scheduled to begin on 2 December 2026.


Importantly, FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè reviewed the case in 2022 and confirmed that Napoli will face no sporting sanctions, meaning their league position and points total remain untouched.


The Napoli president’s legal team strongly criticised the decision to indict him, describing it as both unexpected and unjustified.


Lawyers Gaetano Scalise, Fabio Fulgeri and Lorenzo Contrada stated: “We are absolutely astonished. There were clear grounds to acquit the defendants.”


They argued that financial investigators misapplied accounting rules and noted that even public prosecutors acknowledged Napoli did not benefit from the operations in question.


They further contended that Italy’s preliminary hearing system has “become an unnecessary step,” calling for more transparent reasoning behind decisions that send individuals and clubs to trial.


As the legal battle moves toward 2026, the transfer that brought Victor Osimhen, now a global superstar, to Naples remains a focal point of a case that continues to attract widespread attention.
