The event, celebrated as a night of triumph, highlighted the exceptional talent coming from Nigeria and underscored the nation’s continued success on the international football stage.
Lookman was named the CAF Player of the Year, an honor that recognizes his stellar performance and immense contribution to football in Africa.
Chiamaka Nnadozie, on the other hand, was honored as the CAF Female Goalkeeper of the Year.
Meanwhile, the Super Falcons were celebrated as the CAF Female National Team of the Year.
In his statement, Dr. Mbah expressed immense pride in the achievements of these football stars, describing the night as one of pure glory for Nigeria.
He commended Lookman for his excellence and the remarkable performance that earned him the CAF Player of the Year award.
For Nnadozie, he praised her tireless efforts in goal, which have not only earned her the goalkeeper accolade but also solidified her as one of the best in African women’s football.
Furthermore, he extended his admiration to the Super Falcons, acknowledging their remarkable resilience and determination, which led to their recognition as Africa’s top women’s football team.
“You’ve proven yourselves to be stars, shining brightly not only for Nigeria but for Africa as a whole,” he stated.
“This is just the beginning, and I am confident that you will continue to elevate Nigerian football to new heights.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
