Reported Arms: IGP Fails To Meet Senator Amosun

Premium Times a few days ago reported that it got an exclusive information that immediate past Ogun state governor and current serving Senator, Ibikunle Amosun surrendered some arms and ammunition to the Nigeria Police Force.

Further information from Premium Times has it that: The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, met with Ibikunle Amosun at the Senate on Tuesday, but did not take the embattled former governor in for questioning.
Mr Amosun has come under public backlash and a growing chorus for his arrest after PREMIUM TIMES revealed how he handed over a large cache of weapons to Ogun State police commissioner, Bashir Makama.
The handover occurred barely a few hours before Mr Amosun concluded his eight years as governor on May 29.
Mr Amosun did not return PREMIUM TIMES’ request for comments prior to the publication of the story, and he has remained silent in the face of outrage that greeted the revelation.
Calls for Mr Amosun to be arrested transcended political lines on Tuesday, with most commentators expressing fears about the country’s porous security architecture.

PREMIUM TIMES also learnt that Mr Makama did not report receipt of the weapons to the Force Headquarters, which top police sources said was against standard operating procedure.
When the inspector-general met with Mr Amosun at a meeting chaired by Senate President Ahmed Lawan on Tuesday afternoon, he did not yield to public demand for police’s intervention in the arms scandal.
Pictures circulated by the Senate President’s office showed Messrs Amosun and Adamu sitting only across one another on a midsize conference table — with Mr Lawan sitting on the table’s head in-between the duo.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2.
