Ramos & Marcelo out of Madrid squad

By

Sergio Ramos and Marcelo have been left out of the Real Madrid squad for Wednesday's Champions League trip to Shakhtar Donetsk.

The club released a statement explaining that the Brazil full-back has an adductor muscle problem sustained in Saturday's 4-0 thrashing by Barcelona in El Clasico, but the situation surrounding Ramos is less clear.
The Spain defender dislocated his shoulder in the reverse fixture against Shakhtar last month and aggravated the joint again in the act of scoring in the 3-2 defeat at Sevilla on November 8.
He managed to start against Barca but looked hopelessly short of match sharpness as the likes of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta repeatedly tore through the Madrid backline.
There have been suggestions in Spain that Ramos will not play again prior to the winter break in a bid to give the injury time to heal properly.
He will certainly miss the trip to Ukraine, although it could be a precautionary move with Rafael Benitez's men having already secured a place in the knockout stages.
Real Madrid squad in full:
Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Ruben Yanez; Raphael Varane, Pepe, Nacho, Dani Carvajal, Danilo; Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, Gareth Bale, Casemiro, Mateo Kovacic, Luka, Modric, Denis Cheryshev, Isco; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez, Jese.

Alleged N108bn fraud: EFCC confiscates Governor Akpabio’s wife’s school

By
A school allegedly belonging to Unoma Akpabio, the wife of the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, has been seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. It was learnt that the seizure was part of investigations into the former governor who has been accused of alleged N108bn fraud during his tenure from 2007 to 2015. One of our correspondents who visited the school, St. John Paul II School, in Shelter Afrique, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, observed that the school had been marked “under investigation by EFCC.” It was learnt that the EFCC resorted to marking the school instead of shutting it so that innocent parents and students who had paid school fees would not be adversely affected.
