 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.

FCT POLLS HOLIDAY STALLS MALAMI, SON’S RE-ARRAIGNMENT FOR TERRORISM, ILLEGAL ARMS POSSESSION. (PHOTO).


 FCT polls holiday stalls Malami, son’s re-arraignment for terrorism, illegal arms possession


The work free day declared by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, over Saturday’s area council elections has scuttled the bid by the Department of State Services, DSS, to re-arraign a former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami and his son, Abdulaziz, on a five-count charge bordering on terrorism and illegal firearms possession.


The arraignment, slated for the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, February 20, was abruptly put off when it became clear that workers including those of the court would not be at work.


Operatives of the DSS had taken over security at the court as early as 7: 00 am ahead of the arraignment.


However, by 9:00 am when Malami and his son were to be brought before Justice Peter Lifu, information filtered round that the workers would not be on duty.


The development prompted the DSS to shelve bringing the two defendants to the court.


It will be recalled that Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, and his son were earlier arraigned before a vacation judge on the same charge.


The vacation judge eventually returned the case file to the Chief Judge, Hon Justice John Tsoho for re-assignment to a regular judge.


Although the matter was re-assigned to Justice Obiora Egwuatu for fresh arraignment, the judge declined to proceed with the matter for personal reasons.


Meanwhile, sources confirmed that the former AGF and his son would now be arraigned on Monday, February 23, 2026
