Equipment used in the preparation and packaging of heroine, including razor blades and scales, were also seized.

Leopold helped ASPL 2000 to win the Charity Shield on Saturday on Rodrigues Island where they beat Pamplemousses SC 1-0.

A provisional charge of drug dealing has been lodged against him.
 
Both the Mauritius Football Association and ASPL 2000 refused to comment on the issue.

Please do not waste food Forwarded by Martin Danladi

Image
This startling photograph is acknowledged as one of the most horrifying photographs shot ever since the camera was invented. Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die. This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The location is Sudan, outside a UN warehouse for storing food and grain received as humanitarian aid. Nobody knows what happened to the child. But Kevin Carter broke down mentally after taking this picture and ultimately committed suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was recovered after his death: "Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we ar...

A Forte Oil filling station which belongs to Nigerian billionaire and business mogul, Femi Otedola has been slammed with a staggering fine by the Kano state government.   A committee set up by Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, to prevent hoarding of petrol and selling above official rate, has fined a Forte Oil filling station in the state the sum of N4.2million, according to Premium Times. The state commissioner for Commerce, Rabiu Bako, who is the chairman of the committee, told a correspondent by phone that the station was fined for both hoarding of the product and selling above pump price at night.

Manchester United transfers: David De Gea deal sabotaged BY Real Madrid claim Red Devils

Image
The one that got away: Real Madrid looked to have netted De Gea, and then... Manchester United have accused Real Madrid of torpedoing their own bid to signDavid De Gea. As the bitter war of words between the two football giants escalated, the Old Trafford giants rubbished claims  they  were to blame for the deal collapsing late on Monday. They believe Real president Florentino Perez started having doubts about the transfer and that the process was  deliberately  delayed so it did not get over the line before the Spanish transfer deadline at 11pm (UK time). A package worth £29million, which would have seen De Gea join Real and fellow keeper Keylor Navas come the other way to United, was agreed by both parties. The 24-year-old had wanted to move to Madrid, where his pop-star girlfriend Edurne Garcia is based. The singer has told friends: "I'm very disappointed with what has happened." The farce left both clubs pointing fingers at eac...

#FootballNews : Juventus 'stalling on Paul Pogba deal' until they get a ready-made replacement

Image
T he 18-year-old midfield prodigy was on the radar of Europe's top clubs prior his Euro 2016-winning exploits this summer. As it turned out, it was Bayern Munich who won the race to sign the youngster from Benfica, paying an initial £28m in a deal that could rise to £35m if performance-related add-ons are met. But, for Jose Mourinho, it was the case of the one who got away, and in an interview with Sport TV, he explained why. H e said: "I arrived [at Manchester United] late. I signed in May, we started talking a week before, but completely out of the process. If I had arrived earlier, I’d fight for him. “Manchester United watched Renato many times and maybe I did it even more. In so much time at home, I watched many Benfica and Portuguese league games, I got to know the boy better with time. “He’s in a a big club, in a league where he’ll certainly be the champion. The club have players of very high level which belong to the structure, a li...

The Truth About the Mythical Nigeria Vs India Football Match that Ended in 100 Goals

Image
This gives an insight into the mythical football match between India and Nigeria which allegedly led to the former being banned from football competitions over the use of magical powers on the football pitch.     Virtually everybody born before the invention of the internet must have heard the tale of a mythical football match between Nigeria and India that obviously took place in a parallel universe and somehow we got to hear the gory stories of that match. Though there are many variations of the story, every prevaricator seems to agree on a couple of facts about this fictional football match.   Each story-teller agrees that; 1. This match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal. 2. Nigerians where unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning into a lion head (or something scary) to prevent them from playing the soccer ball. 3. The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they wou...
