Lewandowski Quits Polish National Team in Shock Captaincy Rift with Coach Probierz

A seismic rift has rocked Polish football as star striker Robert Lewandowski announced he will no longer play for the national team under coach Michal Probierz, following his abrupt removal as captain.
The Polish Football Federation confirmed Probierz’s decision to pass the armband to Inter Milan’s Piotr Zielinski, a move that sparked widespread controversy.
Lewandowski, Poland’s record goalscorer with 85 goals in 158 appearances, cited a “loss of trust” in Probierz, expressing his hurt over the handling of the decision, which he learned about during a brief phone call while putting his children to bed.
The 36-year-old Barcelona forward, who led Poland at Euro 2024, stated on social media, “I hope I will still have a chance to play again for the best fans in the world.” His absence, driven by physical and mental exhaustion after a grueling La Liga season, has divided fans and media.
Some criticize his decision as disrespectful, while others sympathize, pointing to Probierz’s poor communication.
Reports suggest the team applauded Zielinski’s appointment, hinting at a rift with Lewandowski.
Probierz, who took over in 2023, defended his choice, calling it “best for the team” ahead of Poland’s World Cup qualifier against Finland.
With Lewandowski’s international future uncertain, the saga raises questions about his legacy and Poland’s prospects without their talisman.

Lucky Obukohwo Reporting

The former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, has refuted the news making the rounds on certain online platforms that his convoy was attacked by Boko Haram in Borno State, saying that such news is the handwork of mischief makers.
A statement on Monday by his Media Aide, Brig. General Sani Usman Kukasheka (Rtd) described the incident as fake news.
The statement added that at the time of the alleged incident, Gen. Buratai was in Abuja where he celebrated the Eid festivities in the company of family, friends, and well-wishers.
“In light of the recent mischievous and utterly false reports circulating on certain online platforms, I wish to categorically state that His Excellency Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd) CFR, Betara of Biu, Garkuwan Keffi, former Chief of Army Staff and former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, was not attacked in any way, contrary to what has been falsely reported by some online media outlets.
“For the avoidance of doubt, he celebrated the Eid festivities peacefully in Abuja, in the company of family, friends, and well-wishers, and I have remained within the Federal Capital Territory since then.
“This baseless rumour is a product of the reckless imagination of the purveyors of fake news, individuals whose sole aim is to malign him, spread fear, confusion and misinformation.
“The fabricators of these actions are not only mischievous but also deeply irresponsible and must be condemned in the strongest terms.
“I sincerely extend my heartfelt and profound appreciation to the countless patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians, friends, associates and admirers of His Excellency, who reached out with genuine concern, prayers and goodwill.
“Your overwhelming show of love and support is deeply cherished and speaks volumes about the enduring respect and affection we are privileged to receive from across the country and beyond.
“Let this serve as a reminder to the harbingers of fake news: that truth will always prevail.
“No amount of falsehood or malicious propaganda can tarnish the image of a man who has devoted his life to the service of our great nation,” the statement added.

Delta Governor Threatens to Sack Council Chairmen Over Insecurity

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has issued a stern ultimatum to the 25 local government council chairmen in Delta State, warning that any chairman found wanting in managing security risks removal from office.
Speaking in Asaba, the governor expressed alarm over the rising tide of insecurity, particularly kidnapping, which he described as “very disturbing.”
Oborevwori emphasized that attendance and active participation in monthly security council meetings are “non-negotiable” for council chairmen, who serve as chief security officers of their local government areas. “If you are weak as a council chairman, we will remove you,” he declared, underscoring the need for accountability.
He also warned the leadership of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Delta State that they would be held responsible for any lapses in conducting these meetings.
The governor attributed part of the state’s security challenges to an influx of “undesirable elements” from neighboring states, particularly across the Niger. To address this, he announced plans to deploy technology to detect and apprehend criminals undermining the state’s peace. “We shall soon deploy technology to help engage these criminals,” Oborevwori stated.
He urged council chairmen to collaborate closely with security agencies, local vigilantes, and traditional rulers to tackle kidnapping and other heinous crimes. “Security is a shared responsibility,” he said, calling on chairmen to leverage their local knowledge to enhance peace.
He also cautioned youths against making inciting statements on social media, urging them to work with authorities to confront criminals in their communities.
Oborevwori directed chairmen to report security updates either directly to him or through the Commissioner for Local Government.
He stressed the importance of managing traditional rulers effectively, noting, “If I can manage all the traditional rulers in the state, you can manage those in your local government areas.”
The governor concluded with a firm warning against laxity, citing the rising rates of drug abuse and social vices among youths. “We will not tolerate any form of laxity from any chairman. By the time we use one or two persons as examples, others will sit up,” he said, signaling his administration’s resolve to enforce accountability.
