Tragic News 💔
DNA test results have confirmed that the unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry was that of Pelumi Onifade.
- In 2020, Nigerian youths took to the streets during the #EndSARS protests. One of the reporters covering the event was Onifade Emmanuel Pelumi.
- On October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.
- A few days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.
- In July 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Pelumi’s death and identify those responsible.
- The court also ordered the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) to perform a post-mortem examination on the unidentified body received from Ikorodu.
- LASUTH stated that Pelumi’s body could not initially be identified because DNA samples held at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre were dëstroyed during the October 2020 #EndSARS unrest.
- After prolonged back-and-forth between the hospital and the court, a DNA test was eventually conducted using a sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- The magistrate revealed that the report confirmed a DNA match between the previously unidentified body and the sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- This development brings a painful confirmation for Pelumi’s family and loved ones, who have endured years of uncertainty while seeking answers and closure.
- Their counsel is now calling for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of Pelumi’s de@th.
- The case has been adjourned until July 7, 2026.
May the soul of the departed rest in peace. 💔
At the age of 38, Messi played 50 games and scored 50 goals. You would think it ends there. This brother provided 30 assists in the same period. Out of the 50 goals, only 4 were penalties.
We don't brag or appreciate this brother enough! 💔

☀️ Good morning, Culers The Álvarez saga just got personal overnight. 🔵🔴
🚨 Via @FabrizioRomano – Julián Álvarez told Atlético's board and Simeone privately that he wants to leave this summer.
Atlético feels betrayed. Álvarez feels betrayed. Simeone's relationship is reportedly very difficult right now. The situation is tense, especially with Barcelona.
Arsenal and PSG came calling. Álvarez said no to both. Only Barcelona. 🇦🇷
Atlético's response? Doors closed at any price. Ready to take this to FIFA and court if necessary.
This isn't a transfer saga anymore. It's a war. ⚖️
Long road ahead. Nothing imminent. But one thing is crystal clear, Álvarez has chosen his side. Now Barcelona and Atlético have to fight it out.
Who wins this battle? 👇
🚨 Atlético Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gil: “Barcelona doesn’t respect and us believe they can belittle us. I feel great sadness in the face of Julián Álvarez statements”.
“It was not the right day to make those statements; it was Messi's day and that of the Argentine national team, not just Julian's. Last year, Barcelona did something very similar with Nico Williams and Athletic Bilbao”.
“Julian has a dream, and we at Atlético also have dreams. It is true that he spoke to us, but it is equally true that he knows our position well, because we have been very clear: Atlético does not want to sell”
“He is a great player and we are very proud to have him with us”
