Chelsea’s pursuit of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen appears to face setbacks, with Napoli’s president revealing that the player is on the verge of signing a contract extension.

Despite Osimhen’s remarkable contributions to Napoli, speculation about his departure has persisted.

While Chelsea was rumored to be interested in the striker, Napoli has reportedly set a £130m price tag on his services, potentially deterring any immediate move.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis has now indicated that Osimhen is close to finalizing a contract extension, making a mid-season transfer less likely.

Other clubs, including Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, may redirect their attention to alternative targets due to the high asking price.

Darosha Losobeh, the cousin and personal assistant to the late artist Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has broken his silence on the viral video suggesting the singer’s coffin had a broken neck.

Mohbad, a former Marlian record signee, passed away at 27 on September 12, sparking controversy and leading to the arrest of his former boss, Naira Marley, and Sam Larry.

Although the duo, accused of bullying the late singer, has been released, Mohbad’s friend Primeboy and the nurse who allegedly injected him remain in police custody as prime suspects.

Responding to claims of breaking Mohbad’s neck on his Instagram story, Darosha denied the accusation, urging those spreading the information to stop as it affects his mental health.

He explained that the issue arose when they couldn’t find space at the mortuary in Ikorodu, leading to the decision to use an ambulance and a coffin overnight.

Darosha emphasized that he only facilitated the payment for the coffin and ambulance, unaware of its size issue.

He clarified the purpose of the money sent to Mohbad’s father, intended for burial arrangements, and addressed concerns about the burial location’s safety.

Darosha defended himself against online accusations, stating he was the first to provide a statement at Panti and called for questioning.

He explained the use of salt on Mohbad’s chest, drawing parallels with a similar practice during his father’s passing.

Regarding Mohbad’s properties and music catalog, Darosha highlighted the artist’s lawyer and ONErpm’s control, urging patience for autopsy results and government intervention for justice.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Bauchi Zone, has voiced its opposition to the federal government’s students’ loan scheme, advocating for non-refundable grants for Nigerian students instead.

Lazarus Maig-oro, the ASUU Bauchi Zonal Coordinator, expressed these concerns during a scholarship program for indigent students at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi.

He emphasized the potential negative impact on students’ performance due to the psychological burden of loans and questioned the feasibility of repayment.

Maigoro highlighted the likelihood of students graduating with substantial debts, causing psychological distress.

He raised concerns about stringent conditions for loan access leading to potential dropouts, especially considering the current increase in public university fees across the country.

ASUU Bauchi Zone is actively collecting data on students at risk of dropping out, aiming to urge the government to reconsider its loan approach and favor grants.

Maigoro underscored the challenging economic realities affecting students and emphasized the government’s apparent neglect of its constitutional duty to fund universities.

In 2023, ASUU Bauchi Zone is awarding scholarships to 19 indigent students, in addition to the 12 granted by ASUU National in the six universities within the Bauchi zone.
