Flying Eagles coach, Paul Aigbogun, could be in hot water with his employers, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), following his arrest by the London Police for public disturbance.
Paul Aigbogun, who lives in North West London, was arrested by the London Police outside a woman’s house at 6am on Friday, December 28 on charges of domestic violence and being five times over the legal alcohol limit.
Report has it that the former Warri Wolves manager has family in North West London and lives there usually when he’s not on national assignment.
It is understood that Aigbogun went around the woman’s house uninvited very late at night, drunk, and bangs in the door screaming her name for hours until she is forced to open up.
Prior to his arrest, the neighborhood Watch were aware of the situation and they were concerned about hearing the woman scream so often.
The Flying Eagles coach has been labelled an alcoholic and abusive man who is not fit to be a role model and shouldn’t be around young players.

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has said the late Second Republic President, Shehu Shagari would have industrialised the country but for the 1983 coup that brought Muhammadu Buhari to power.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba said this yesterday while mourning the demise of the former president.
In a statement he signed, Wabba stated that Shagari signed into law the National Minimum Wage Act of 1981 that provided for a new national minimum wage of N125, which was equivalent to about $200.
The statement reads: “We at the NLC would like to join Nigerian government, world leaders, family members and other Nigerians in mourning the death of Alhaji Shagari, elder statesman and first executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“As President, Shagari, as he was popularly known, was humble, personable, considerate and broad-minded, some of the reasons that explained his popularity among ordinary people. Shagari initiated some of the landmark projects, including iron and steel and petrochemicals in his quest to make Nigeria an industrial hub.
“Not a few hold the view that but for the coup that removed him from power in 1983, unceremoniously cutting short his second term, Shagari would have seen through his vision of a highly industrialised Nigeria.”
Commending on the former President’s life style, Wabba said: “We similarly hold the view that given his urbane and simple and straight forward life style, Shagari would have built an enduring culture of democratic succession in spite of some of the disputed elections in his time.”
Shehu Shagari
“However, Shagari was blamed for not exercising requisite control over some of the rambunctious and corrupt members of his cabinet or party, a fact not a few, today, believe was largely responsible for his removal from power.
“Amazingly, his removal did little to diminish his towering stature as no act of corruption or wrong doing was traced to him. Thus, in retirement, he was both a respected voice of moderation and wisdom from which succeeding leaders befitted till death took him away.
“For us at the NLC, Shagari, despite having come to power on an ideological platform that was manifestly different from the one we subscribed to, holds a special place in our hearts. For instance, he signed into law the National Minimum Wage Act of 1981 that provided for a new national minimum wage of N125 which was equivalent to about $200.
“It took more than deft move and political will to execute this. It took the milk of human kindness in Alhaji Shagari and his deep appreciation of the dignity of labour and value of the human life to do this.
“To truly appreciate the value of what Shagari did for workers way back then without a bloody fight, let us pause and reflect on the value of the present national minimum wage of N18,000 which is $49 and the new national minimum wage of N30,000 (equivalent to $82) which is due since 2016.
“One of his other legacies was a national housing scheme, a component of which was the building of low-cost houses for workers across the then 19 states of the federation. In light of his contributions to national development, peace in the land, and welfare of workers, Shagari remains a national hero, patriot, and a distinguished gentleman.”
The Senator representing Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani on Monday pointed out why Northern Nigeria is in “extreme poverty”.
Shehu Sani said the region was ravaging in poverty due to its neglect of agriculture and over-dependence on oil.
In a post on his Facebook page, he also stated that abandoning the moral and ethical standards and economic vision and legacies of Ahmadu Bello were part of many other reasons the region was poor. The post he titled: “Nine reasons for extreme Poverty in Northern Nigeria” reads: “Neglect of Agriculture & dependence on oil revenues. “Decadence & collapse of public education;Fatalism;Septic extremism and toxic inter ethnic violence;
“Abandoning the moral and ethical standards and economic vision and legacies of Ahmadu Bello; Culpability of successive Northern leaders in power;entrenched Handouts culture;
“Pliant attitudinal incumbrance of refusing to challenge leaders and hold them to account or the Slavery of loyalty or inimical subservience;
“Decades of systemic marginalization,emasculation and oppression and Institutional contempt for the poor by the regional elites.”

Southampton vs Manchester City
Charlie Austin stole in behind the City defence, only for heavy touch to let him down, before Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva had no such problems down the Southampton left as they deftly set up David Silva for an assured finish.
Mahrez and Sergio Aguero both went close to doubling City’s advantage but, after Ederson brilliantly kept out an Austin header, makeshift left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko carelessly gave away possession in the 37th minute and Hojbjerg clattered home emphatically.
Zinchenko was then fortunate to see a clumsy challenge in the box on Ward-Prowse go unpunished – the Southampton man’s disappointment compounded as he lucklessly put Raheem Sterling’s cross through his own net.
An eventful half for the Ukraine international concluded with a pinpoint cross that Aguero headed beyond Alex McCarthy’s lacklustre attempts to save.

Maurizio Sarri has made a couple of changes from the win against Watford by bringing in Barkley and Giroud for Kovacic and the injured Pedro, who misses out on the 18-man squad entirely.
Barkley’s return to the starting line-up is effectively a like-for-like change on the left of Chelsea’s midfield three, but Giroud’s inclusion alters the visitors’ set-up somewhat as Hazard – the two-goal hero at Vicarage Road – will shift into his favoured wide position. Morata is back in the squad following a recent absence, but he must watch on from the bench.

“Going by what transpired in Uyo, it is now crystal clear that the Rivers APC has candidates at all levels, including a gubernatorial candidate recognised at the highest level of the party who would drive the APC’s campaign effort.
“It is time for all who belong to our great party to close ranks. We must demonstrate cohesion and party unity as most paramount than our individual interests. We believe there is more which can unite rather than separate us.
“In the circumstance, Cole enjoins all members of the party to sheath their swords and join hands in efforts that will ensure we form the next government in Rivers State.”
The Indigenous Fulani Community in Kwara State, comprising the Bororos, has assured the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki of their support ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The leaders of the Fulani community, Alhaji Garba Dembo (Jowuro Oyun) and Mallam Usman Garba (the Fulani/ Bororo union’s secretary) gave the assurance on Saturday when they paid a solidarity visit to the Senate President at his Iloffa, GRA residence in Ilorin.
Jowuro Oyun promised that his people would deliver their votes 100 per cent to all Peoples Democratic Partys (PDP) candidates in next year’s general elections.
“We’re in full support of Dr Bukola Saraki. We gathered at the palace of the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu- Gambari from where we marched down to Saraki’s residence to assure him of our 100 per cent support.
“The late Dr. Olusola Saraki during his lifetime contributed immensely to the growth and development of Kwara state. As a result of this, we the Fulani and Bororo are prepared to reciprocate the kind gesture of the late Saraki by giving his son, Dr Bukola Saraki 100 per cent support.
“Baba Saraki loved and cared for us, so, it’s natural that we should also love and support his son who is also following the footsteps of his father.
Also speaking, the Secretary of Bororo/ Fulani community, Mallam Usman Garba said: “We have been waiting for this day. We are going to support you 100 per cent. When your father was alive, he did a lot for us.
“We are ready to reciprocate Baba’s kind gesture to us by supporting you, his son. There is nothing anyone can do for us to vote for the people we don’t know.”
Responding, Saraki who was adorned with Fulani’s hat thanked leaders and members of the Fulani community for identifying with his leadership.
While assuring them of his continued support, Saraki reminded them that the relationship which exists between them and the Saraki political dynasty had been a long-standing one.
“The Fulani community’s relationship with Saraki political dynasty has been a long-standing one and it shall continue to flourish,” he added.
The Senate President assured his visitors and Nigerians in general that the PDP government come 2019 will fulfil all its campaign promises.
He emphasised the need for the people of Kwara state to vote for the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, because “PDP has a great plan for the people of the state.”
Simi has reacted to a new photo of her man, Adekunle Gold and Falz holding each other.
Simi wraps her confusion in a question directed to the two, asking why they have to hold themselves in such manner and if they don’t have a girlfriend.
Falz then hopped into the comment section to question Simi’s feelings as well, asking if perhaps she is jealous.
