🇰🇪 A Kenyan marathon champion from Baringo is serving 80 years in a Mexican prison.
Rerimoi Barsitei was arrested in 2021 after people he allowed to stay at his place were later linked to a kidnapping. He insists he had no knowledge of any crime. His family says he was tried in Spanish — a language he doesn’t understand — with little proper interpretation or strong legal help.
Co-accused allegedly said he wasn’t involved. Still, he got 80 years.
His relatives have reached out to Kenyan authorities and the embassy. Still waiting for real intervention.
How does a Kenyan athlete end up facing the rest of his life behind bars in a foreign country under these circumstances? And how long should a family keep pleading before their government steps in meaningfully?
Let his story be heard.
In the current Arsenal squad, there are 5 players who are 27 years old: Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice.
Back in 2019, Arsenal signed William Saliba for £27M from AS Saint-Étienne, a deal that has become one of the most important long-term investments in the club’s modern era.
And now the number 27 shows up again, but why?
Because it’s been 27 days since Arsenal won the league title.
In the Premier League, a club can submit a maximum of 25 senior players for the official squad registration (the “25-man squad list”).
But the question many are asking is, why 25? Because 25 in this case is exactly the same number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
@ESPNUK Nmecha after the game:
"In the game we are opponents, but after the game we are all Christians, we are all brothers, and we said a little prayer because we believe that Jesus is glorified through the game."
It’s the 2nd day of the World Cup. If you add a 0 behind the number 2, you’ll get 20 and that’s exactly the number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
