Two second-half goals by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Marinelli were all Arsenal needed to cruise to a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon to claim the fifth place in the table, reports Prime Business Africa.

 

Saka, named Budweisser ‘King of the Match’ opened the goals account with a delightful left footed finish  from Nuno Tevares who had a much more better game than in the defeat to Liverpool before the international break.

 

Substitute Gabriel Marinelli scored the second goal moments after his introduction from the bench with a sumptuous lob over Martin Dubravka.

 

The goals could have been more had captain Pierre Emerick Aubameyang converted the chance he had from close range after the ball cam off the post from close range.

 

Newcastle United two penalty shouts albeit one of them looked a legitimate one while the first was an inadvertent handling of the ball in the box by Takehiro Tomiyasu who assisted Marinelli’s goal.

 

New mega rich Newcastle United are consequently still bottom of the table with only six points and remains the only side among the 92 clubs in the English football league not to have picked up a win this season.

Iyabo Ojo Reveals Mohbad's House CCTV Camera Was Never Functional Bisina Somto In the wake of the tragic demise of Nigerian singer, Mohbad, the public eagerly awaited answers and closure. Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo recently provided a significant update, revealing that the investigation into Mohbad's death has taken an unexpected turn. As of today, the Nigeria Police Force is still awaiting the results of the toxicology report from the autopsy conducted on Mohbad, who passed away on September 12, 2023. Iyabo Ojo took to her Instagram account on October 17 to share these developments. She informed the public that Mohbad's case has been handed over to the Directorate of Public Prosecution, indicating the seriousness of the investigation. Furthermore, she disclosed the fact that Mohbad's body remains with the police since his exhumation in September. Ojo also revealed that the surveillance cameras in Mohbad's residence were never connected. As a result, there is no footage to shed light on the events leading up to his untimely death. Ojo went on to provide additional insights, stating, "Mohbad's wife has been interrogated three times to the best of my knowledge." Two of these interrogations occurred on the day when Mohbad's father was televised by the police, addressing the public about the case. On the same day, Mohbad's father, mother, and wife were transported to Panti for further questioning and to provide their statements. Another round of questioning of Mohbad's wife took place on September 21, 2023, during which she was absent, leading to speculations involving Tonto and Senator Ishaku Abbo. Mohbad's sudden and mysterious death in September triggered nationwide peaceful protests, as Nigerians called for a thorough investigation. The police responded by conducting an autopsy after exhuming his body from his grave in Ikorodu. The official police report attributed Mohbad's death to a reaction from three injections administered by an auxiliary nurse. Despite this revelation, Nigerians are still awaiting crucial results, including the toxicology report. The investigation, which has involved questioning over 20 individuals, has yielded the identification of five suspects in Mohbad's case. These include Feyisayo Ogendengbe, the nurse who administered the injections, Ayobami Sadiq (aka Spending), a friend who invited the nurse, Owodunni Ibrahim (aka Primeboy), who allegedly had a physical altercation with the deceased a day before his death, and Naira Marley, Mohbad's former music label boss, as well as Sam Larry, both of whom the singer accused of bullying and physical assault before his death. The enigma surrounding Mohbad's passing continues to intensify, leaving the nation in suspense as it awaits answers and justice. The absence of connected CCTV cameras adds another layer of complexity to a case already fraught with mystery, raising questions about the events leading up to this tragic loss. Only time will tell if the truth behind Mohbad's death will ever be fully unveiled.
