Kano CP

Hours after the opposition New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) called for the removal of the Kano State Commissioner of Police Mamman Dauda over alleged bias, the Inspector General of Police Alkali Baba, has transferred him to Plateau State on election duty.

On Sunday, the NNPP threatened to embark on mass protest across the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State against arrest and detention of over 100 of its key members.

The party said unless the CP is removed and penalized for his misconduct, the protest will continue.

Addressing a press conference on behalf of the NNPP in Kano on Sunday, the Kano North senatorial candidate of the party, Baffa Bichi, alleged that the state commissioner of police, Mamman Dauda, is conniving with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to subvert the March 15 governorship election in the state.

But in a signal obtained by DAILY NIGERIAN, the IGP transferred Mr Dauda to Plateau and posted CP Mohammed Yakubu to Kano.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the IGP also posted top police officers to man each of the 109 senatorial districts in the country during election.

In a fresh posting after the sudden cancellation of the previous one, the IGP posted CP Ita  Uku-Udom to Kano Central Senatorial District; CP Sunday Babaji to Kano South Senatorial District and DCP Abaniwonda Olufemi to Kano North.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
