Ten players have been put forward for the prestigious prize, which is now in its fourth year Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk are among the 10 players nominated for FIFA's The Best Men's Player award. The shortlist, which takes into accounts achievements from July 16, 2018 to July 19, 2019, was compiled by a panel of experts and also comprises of former Ajax duo Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, Liverpool double act Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Real Madrid's Eden Hazard and PSG ace Kylian Mbappe. Between the 10 nominees, every major European trophy has been won, with the exception of the Premier League, and it is the Liverpool trio of Van Dijk, Salah and Mane, who narrowly missed out on that prize to Manchester City, who will be among the favourites for the gong given that they picked up the European Cup thanks to a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid. Meanwhile, five-time Ballon d'Or winners Messi, Europe...

Nigerian soldiers have been accused of arresting men with dreadlocks and those with tinted hair in Aba, a city in the south-eastern state of Abia. "The masked soldiers flogged many of their victims and used scissors to cut off the hair and then threw the victims into their vehicles and zoomed off," eyewitnesses told Punch newspaper. The men were reportedly then taken to an "unknown destination" over the weekend. An army spokesman, Major Aliu Kadiri, confirmed to the News Agency of Nigeria that the army was aware of the incident, and were "working on it”. It is not clear if the "hair-cutting" arrests are linked to anti-kidnapping operations being conducted by security agencies across the country. Nigeria's army is also involved in an operation targeting cattle thieves and the Islamist insurgency in the north-east. This is not the first time Nigeria's security agencies have focused on those with dreadlocks. In March, a police un...

Officials in Ethiopia hope to plant 200 million trees in a single day in what they hope will be a world record. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is leading the project which aims to counter the effects of deforestation and climate change in the drought-prone country. Some public offices have been shut down to allow civil servants to take part. The UN says Ethiopia's forest coverage declined from 35% of total land in the early 20th Century to a little above 4% in the 2000s. Mr Abiy launched the tree-planting exercise as part of his Green Legacy Initiative, which is taking part in 1,000 sites across the country. The aim is to plant a total of four billion trees. The BBC's Kalkidan Yibeltal in Addis Ababa says that for days, promotional videos have run on state media urging the public to plant and care for trees. The current World Record for planting trees in a single day is held by India, which used 800,000 volunteers to plant more than 50 million trees in 2016. Et...

A number of mourners were reportedly killed straight away, while others died trying to chase off the attackers. There has been an increase in Islamist attacks across the region.

Popular Nigerian multi-talented rapper and father of one, Ice Prince Zamani is scared of falling in love again. Zamani took to his Twitter to reveal reasons behind his fear to love, perhaps, as a result of the trauma he had been through with women and relationships. According to reports, the singer once dated Eva Alordiah who was his first girlfriend when he moved to Lagos in 2009. Things didn’t work out, he moved on to Ghanian actress, Yvonne Nelson but they broke up due to busy schedules.

Scared of getting his heart shattered, the singer poured out his emotions. “I’m too scared of love because I don’t want to fail again”

A warplane belonging to Khalifa Hafta, the rogue general who commands the Libyan National Army, carried out the attack, the health ministry spokesman added. The LNA has not commented.

The US government is introducing a new fast-track deportation process that will bypass immigration courts. Under the new rules, migrants who cannot prove they have been in the US continuously for more than two years can be immediately deported. Until now, expedited deportations could only be applied to those detained near the border who had been in the US for less than two weeks. Rights groups say hundreds of thousands of people could be affected. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says it will challenge the policy in court. The new rule is expected to be implemented with immediate effect after it is published on Tuesday. US immigration policy has come under increasing scrutiny in recent months – in particular, the conditions at the country’s detention centres on the southern border with Mexico. Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of Homeland Security, said the change would “help to alleviate some of the burden and capacity issues” at the border. He added that i...

Goals from Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley gave Frank Lampard's Chelsea an impressive 2-1 win against Barcelona in a pre-season friendly in Japan. Abraham opened the scoring with a neat first-half finish after rounding the goalkeeper, and substitute Barkley curled in a second late on. Ivan Rakitic struck in injury time for Barcelona with powerful drive. The game saw £107m signing Antoine Griezmann make his debut for the Spanish giants.

"He is OK," Lampard said. "It was a decision that I made because I felt that him being here, with the facilities and ...

Bashir Umar is a member of the force's Mobile Air Defence Team that is deployed to Kano airport, northern Nigeria, for security duties.
