Arsenal has secured a 2-0 victory against Brentford to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Arsenal’s goals came from a Merino header in the 10th minute, assisted by Ben White, and a late strike from Saka, assisted by Merino.
Manager Mikel Arteta made changes due to the busy schedule.
Ben White started at right-back, while Noni Madueke started on the wing.
Key players like Saka (who later scored) and Jurrien Timber began the match on the bench.
David Raya’s save was crucial in keeping a clean sheet.
The win was overshadowed by injury worries for Cristhian Mosquera and Declan Rice.
The result stretches Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 18 games. It gives them a five-point lead over Manchester City.
Human-rights activist and well-known volunteer responder, Harrison Gwamnishu, has announced that he is withdrawing from his voluntary anti-kidnapping missions. His decision follows what he describes as threats and intimidation allegedly coming from some high-ranking police officers who were displeased with his involvement in rescue operations.
In a heartfelt statement, Harrison expressed both his respect for security agencies and his fears for his personal safety.
“I am not trying to make anyone feel incompetent. I understand how it might look when a civilian appears to be doing a job meant for security personnel. I am also not taking anyone’s job—this work is extremely risky, and I respect those who do it full-time.
But how do I continue working with you all without fear? How do I stay focused in the bush when I know that some personnel with me may have superiors who are unhappy with my involvement? Wouldn’t they give order?
This voluntary job has taught me a lot. Despite my mistakes, failures, and weaknesses, I have consistently shown that criminals can be tracked and apprehended through technology.
I want to do more, but I cannot read the intentions of those around me in the field.
If tomorrow I am called to serve this nation officially, I will gladly answer that call.
Thank you, Nigerians, for your unwavering support and prayers.”
His withdrawal has sparked conversations online, with some Nigerians expressing concern that elements within the security structure may be uncomfortable with civilian-led initiatives that expose irregularities or disrupt illicit activities. Commentators argue that allegations like these raise questions about the integrity of certain officers and the challenges faced by volunteers who step in to support community safety.
Nigerian musician 2Baba (Innocent Idibia) has asked the public for privacy regarding the recent issues in his marriage to Natasha Osawaru Idibia.
Speculation about marital trouble intensified after a mysterious “Help Me” story appeared on his Instagram. This followed earlier public clashes and accusations involving his wife and former managers.
He stated that the “Help Me” story was not posted by him but by someone else.
2Baba emphasized that family issues should be resolved privately. He also raised concerns that the intense public scrutiny could compromise Natasha’s safety, especially as she is dealing with an ongoing assembly summons.
This current turmoil follows his earlier separation from Annie Macaulay-Idibia and his recent, quiet marriage to Natasha, with whom he just had a son.
In short: 2Baba is dealing with fresh marriage drama in public, but he insists the latest social media alert was fake and is pleading for the public to back off for the sake of his family’s privacy and his wife’s safety.
.…Orders Immediate Rehabilitation Of Failed Sections Of Ubeji/Egbokodo/Refinery Road
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on investors particularly Deltans at home and in the diaspora to take advantage of the state’s steadily improving socio-economic climate to invest in the State.
The Governor who made the call at Ubeji, Warri South Local Government Area, while inaugurating a multi-million-naira hospitality and tourism investment, the Swiss International Rancho Valerie Hotel, said; “the time to invest in Delta State is now.”
“Warri is rising again, Delta State is progressing steadily. The shadows of yesterday have given way to the bright possibilities of today and the greater promises of tomorrow,” the Governor declared.
Saying the hotel is a bold testament to the rising economic profile of Warri, Oborevwori ordered the immediate rehabilitation of failed portion of the Ubeji/Egbokodo/Refinery Road.
He said the new hospitality facility reflects the renewed confidence investors now have in Delta State, adding that Warri is reclaiming its place as Delta’s commercial and tourism hub.
According to him, the establishment of the hotel will not only provide premium accommodation, but also stimulate local enterprise, create jobs, enhance community peace, and contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic growth of the state.
He said: “This hotel is not just another project; it is a clear statement that Delta State is open for business. It affirms that our state is safe, investor-friendly, and capable of hosting world-class hospitality and tourism ventures”.
Governor Oborevwori praised the hotel’s owner, Mr. Mode Akoma, describing the project as an inspiring story of vision, resilience, and determination.
He commended Akoma’s choice to invest in his home community rather than elsewhere, calling it a demonstration of deep commitment to Delta’s development.
“If you had invited me to commission a hotel you built outside Delta State, I would not have attended. But I am proud that you chose to develop your community. This project brings jobs, brings peace, and brings progress,” he added.
The Governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to infrastructure renewal, enhanced security, and investor-friendly policies under the MORE Agenda.
While congratulating the owners and management of Swiss International Rancho Valerie, he emphasized that the success of such projects underscores the limitless investment opportunities available in Delta State.
Earlier in his welcome address, General Manager of the hotel, Mr. Todowede Opeyemi, said the facility would provide exceptional hospitality services that meet international standard.
He added that the management is committed to contributing to the state’s development by helping unlock Delta’s rich tourism potential.
“Every guest who visits us deserves more than just a stay; they deserve an unforgettable experience, one that reflects our culture, our hospitality, and our warmth as a people,” Opeyemi said.
