Nigeria Fans Storm Pitch, Tear Gassed After Team Misses Out on World Cup

Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup Tuesday after losing to Ghana 1–1 based on the away-goals tiebreaker Tuesday.

Following the game, Nigerian fans stormed the pitch and began destroying property on the field and throwing objects at visiting Ghana fans and players.

The angry fans made their way onto the field before the final whistle was blown, causing the Ghanaian players to struggle to leave the field. They eventually got out, though it’s unclear if anyone was hurt during the incident.

When police arrived on the scene, they began beating the rioters with batons and ultimately used tear gas on the fans to disperse them.

PDP suffering from ‘memory loss’ after 16-year maladministration —Pro-Buhari group

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has lambasted the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over what it said is the party’s 16-year tenure of maladministration.

This was contained in a press statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, on Thursday.

The statement was in response to a comment made by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Debo Ologunagba who had described the APC–led federal government as ‘rudderless’.

According to the BMO, the PDP is suffering from “an apparent loss of memory. From the year 2000 up until 2014 Nigeria witnessed an economic boom, but the PDP administrations frittered the gains and opportunities away.

“Instead of using the abundant oil revenues to turn the country around and bring prosperity to Nigerians, the PDP and its leaders embarked on an unbridled corruption leading to the World Bank classifying six out of every ten Nigerians as living below one dollar.

According to the BMO, under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the World Bank has rated four out of every ten Nigerians as poor, thereby signifying a significant reduction in the poverty level.

“This did not happen by chance, but through deliberate economic diversification programmes, put in place by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“Let us remind the PDP, that is living in denial, that the numerous infrastructural projects which they denied Nigerians over a period of 16 years are today being delivered by the Buhari administration and they are visible for Nigerians to see.

“We also want to state that the Buhari administration has been able to accomplish much with fewer resources and despite several global challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic and global recession.

“Even in the impact of inflation on the economy, the Buhari administration has been able to manage the economy to avoid plunging the country into spiralling inflation as is the case with some major economies across the globe.

“PDP should therefore hide its face in shame for using its 16 years in power to underdevelop the country, and acknowledge President Buhari’s efforts to make amends where they failed woefully,” the statement added.

By Dirisu Yakubu & Ibrahim Hassan-Wuyo, Kaduna

A passenger train conveying over 970 passengers was reportedly attacked by suspected terrorists between Rijana and Katari in Kaduna State, yesterday.

It was gathered that the bandits after the attack tried to force themselves into the cabins of the train, but they did not succeed.

A passenger onboard the train, Anas Iro Dan Musa, sent messages out to his followers on Facebook, saying all passengers were lying on the floor as the terrorists were shooting at the train sporadically.

Dan-Musa wrote, “ please, this is an emergency. We are inside the train at the moment. Kidnappers planted explosives on the train tracks and the train engines have been ruined, we are helpless.

Gunshots still being fired around us. We are just under the seats praying to God while waiting for help”.

He later added: “Since 8 pm we have been here between Katari and Rijiana. I am a living witness. Please share the news we need help

One other passenger, Adamu Hayatu, in a tweet, said: “Alhamdulillah!! The military has secured the train. Thank you #DSS, thank you #KadunaCP, thank You# samuellaruwan, thank you DMI, and all classified persons who answered our calls without hesitation and actually acted upon it. God bless Nigeria and everyone.”

At press time, family members and friends of the passengers were making calls as they still expect the train at Rigasa rail station in Kaduna.
