The Colombian striker arrived at Galatasaray in 2019, with 25,000 fans waiting for him at Istanbul's Ataturk airport. But after scoring 19 league goals in his two seasons in Turkey, the former Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Chelsea, and Manchester United striker has been told to look for a new club. Galatasaray president Burak Elmas has said the club's financial problems after being hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic's impact on ticket sales, meant they can no longer afford to keep Falcao or former West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli.  'I talked to Falcao and Feghouli,' he told reporters.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has called former Head of Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, the product of a failed system. A U.S. court ordered the arrest of Kyari following investigations into a $1.1m fraud scheme by indicted Fraudster, Ramon Abbas popular known as Hushpuppi. Falana, reacting during a telephone interview with AIT on Tuesday, August 3, decried the level of social and political decay in the country which, according to him, is made evident in the allegation against Kyari. He called for the rules of extradition to be followed. To put an end and close this ugly chapter, the investigation must go beyond the indictment by the FBI, the matter must be investigated locally, and Kyari shall not just be handed to America, we operate under the rule of law whether the government likes it or not, there is an extradition act in place which requires that countries like the United States of America with which Nigeria has entered into treaties, so there are p

Justice Tsoho gave the order on Tuesday, August 3, while delivering a ruling on Dokpesi’s application argued by Mr Kanu Agabi.
