 Governor Alex Otti Highlights How Kidnappers, Bandits Were Dislodged from Abia Communities in Abia Third Anniversary Speech Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his administration inherited a security crisis in which kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal gangs held several communities hostage before being dislodged through sustained operations.

 CONGOLESE FA PRESIDENT GETS LIFE SENTENCE FOR EMBEZZLEMENT


The president of the Congolese Football Federation, Jean‑Guy Blaise Mayolas, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted in a major embezzlement and corruption case that has shaken football administration in the Central African country. 


Mayolas, who heads the Congolese Football Federation (FECOFOOT), was found guilty of several offences including money laundering, embezzlement and document forgery following a lengthy investigation into the federation’s finances. 


Prosecutors said the case centred on the alleged diversion of about $1.3 million in funds provided by FIFA, including nearly $500,000 intended to support the country’s women’s national football team. Investigators claimed the funds were siphoned through a network of shell companies rather than used for football development. 


According to court documents, the ruling was delivered after an eight-month investigation that examined financial records, bank transactions and internal administrative processes within the football federation. 


In a dramatic twist, the court also handed life sentences to Mayolas’ wife and son, who were found to have participated in the scheme. Other senior FECOFOOT officials, including the federation’s secretary-general and treasurer, received five-year prison terms for their roles in the financial irregularities. 


Mayolas, who became FECOFOOT president in 2018, was not present in court when the verdict was delivered. The ruling has triggered shock across the football community and reignited debate over governance and financial accountability in African football administrations.
