David Luiz under attack over dangerous tackle on N’Golo Kante during Arsenal, Chelsea game

Former Manchester United star, Gary Neville has slammed Arsenal defender, David Luiz for his rash tackle on Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante during the Gunners’ Premier League 2-1 defeat against the Blues on Sunday.

Two late goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham ensure Frank Lampard’s side defeated Mikel Arteta’s men at the Emirates Stadium as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s first-half was not enough to savage a point for the host.

Luiz contested a 50-50 ball with Kante at the closing stages of the first half during the encounter.

The Brazilian followed through with a high boot which only narrowly missed Kante’s body as Referee Craig Pawson decided not to give Luiz a yellow card for risky play.

“I have to say that’s unorthodox and stupid from David Luiz,” Neville said during his commentary for Sky Sports.

“He just follows through ridiculously, I’m not sure he makes contact but what is he doing? ‘It’s a ridiculous thing to do, he’s played so well, the team has played so well, then you see that.

"You think about what [Heung-min] Son got sent off for in the game against Chelsea last week then you see that. That’s just ridiculous, look at Kante, he looks towards the referee and says, ‘you gonna allow that?’.”

Kenyan Law Court dismisses case of man seeking compensation after his wife eloped with another man from hospital

A lawsuit filed by a man seeking to be compensated by St Mary's Mission Hospital in Kenya for allowing his wife to leave the hospital with another man after giving birth, has been struck out by a law court. The appellant had sued the St. Mary's Mission hospital at Kakamega law courts in 2020 seeking general damages from the facility on grounds that the hospital had discharged his wife and allowed her to leave with another man. After delivering and at the time of discharge, the wife of the appellant claimed he was the baby's father. The court of appeal judges Patrick Kiage, Mumbi Ngugi and Francis Tuiyott sitting at the Kisumu Court of Appeal, empathized with the man, but disagreed that he (the appellant) be compensated by the hospital for not detaining his wife. They upheld the lower court's judgement which added that there's no remedy that lies in the law for such grievances. Kiage said; "I agree that if a man takes the woman he loves to t...

Togo prime Minister Komi Klassou resigns

Togo’s prime minister and his government have resigned, the West African nation’s presidency said late Friday. President Faure Gnassingbe congratulated prime minister Komi Selom Klassou and his team for their “economic, political and social efforts and the encouraging results despite the health crisis around the world”, a statement on the presidency’s official website said. Togo has been due for a political reshuffle since Gnassingbe was reelected in February for a fourth term in office, but changes were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The president’s election win, which came after a constitutional change allowing him to run, extended more than a half-century of dynastic rule over the former French colony by the Gnassingbe family. The victory was disputed by the main opposition challenger, who has faced official harassment in the wake of the vote. The president has led the country of eight million people since taking over in 2005 following the death of his father Gnass...
