Former Norwich and Maidstone Midfielder Devonte Aransibia Passes Away at 26
Former Norwich City and Maidstone United midfielder, Devonte Aransibia, has passed away at the age of 26. His family confirmed the heartbreaking news on Tuesday.
Aransibia started his football journey with Norwich, playing for their youth teams, but he never made it into the first team. He later moved to non-league football, featuring for clubs like Potters Bar, Royston Town, Chelmsford, and Welling.
He was a key part of Maidstone United’s memorable FA Cup run last season, helping them secure a famous victory over Ipswich Town on their way to the fifth round.
Following his passing, his family has set up a GoFundMe page and shared an emotional tribute.
“With heavy hearts, we come together to honour Dev— a loving partner, devoted father, cherished son, and dear friend,” they wrote. “He was the embodiment of kindness and compassion, always ready with a warm smile.
“His infectious laughter and generous spirit lit up every room, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
“Beyond his loving nature, Dev was a talented footballer whose passion and drive took him to great heights on the pitch.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
