Fabrizio Romano Drops Big Transfer Updates: Arokodare To Wolves, Hincapié To Arsenal, Antony’s Future In Limbo

Fabrizio Romano Drops Big Transfer Updates:

When Fabrizio Romano speaks, football fans listen. Known for his accuracy and signature “Here we go!” updates, the Italian transfer guru has once again shaken up the market with news involving three high-profile moves: Tolu Arokodare, Piero Hincapié, and Antony……CONTINUE READING

This latest update not only confirms two major transfers but also highlights the uncertainty surrounding another star, showing just how dramatic this summer window has become.

Wolves Finally Get Their Striker: Tolu Arokodare

Wolves have been searching for a reliable goal-scorer since the departure of Raúl Jiménez, and it looks like they’ve found their man in Nigeria’s Tolu Arokodare. Romano revealed that Wolves have agreed a €27 million deal with Belgian side Genk for the 23-year-old striker.

Arokodare’s move is a huge step for the Lagos-born forward, who has steadily climbed the European ladder from Latvia to France, and now Belgium. With his blend of physicality and aerial dominance, Wolves will hope he can solve their long-standing issues in front of goal. His medical is scheduled for Saturday, after which Wolves fans could hear the famous “Here we go!”.

Arsenal Land Defensive Reinforcement: Piero Hincapié

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been crying out for depth in central defense, and the answer seems to be Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapié. Romano confirmed that Arsenal have reached an agreement worth €52 million plus a sell-on clause for the Ecuadorian international.

At just 22, Hincapié has already built a reputation as one of the Bundesliga’s most composed young defenders. His versatility — capable of playing both as a centre-back and a left-back — makes him a perfect fit for Arteta’s system. For Arsenal fans still haunted by last season’s late injury crisis, this signing could prove vital in their Premier League and Champions League push.

Antony’s Uncertain Future at Manchester United

While Arokodare and Hincapié’s transfers are close to completion, the case of Antony remains a chess game between Manchester United and Real Betis.

According to Romano, there’s no medical or travel scheduled yet, as both clubs are still ironing out the details. Betis want a permanent deal with a 50% sell-on clause, while United are negotiating salary contributions and exit conditions.

For United, this deal could be about cutting losses after Antony’s underwhelming stint since his big-money move from Ajax. For Betis, however, it’s a chance to gamble on a talented winger who, if he rediscovers his form, could become a star in La Liga.

Final Thoughts

Romano’s latest updates highlight the different stages of negotiations: Wolves and Arsenal are wrapping up key signings, while Antony’s saga drags on.

For Wolves, Arokodare represents hope for goals. For Arsenal, Hincapié provides stability and much-needed depth. For Manchester United, Antony’s future could symbolize a turning point in how they handle expensive flops.

One thing is clear — this transfer window is delivering drama, surprises, and big-money moves. And as always, Fabrizio Romano is at the centre of it all.

Fresh Wave Of Insecurity: Pregnant Woman And Several Residents Abducted In Niger And FCT

Nigeria continues to face serious security challenges as multiple communities in Niger State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) experienced coordinated attacks this week. These incidents come just days after the abduction of students from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Niger State……CONTINUE READING

New Abduction in Niger State

Residents of Palaita community in Erena Ward, Shiroro Local Government Area were thrown into distress on Wednesday when armed groups invaded a rice farm and abducted several workers, including a pregnant woman. Community sources estimated the number of kidnapped victims to be around 24, while the Niger State Police Command confirmed 10 abductions as investigations continue.

Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred around 2:00 p.m. while farmers were busy harvesting their crops. Despite the community’s close proximity to a military base in Erena, the attackers escaped before security personnel arrived.

In a separate incident in Kakuru community, also in Erena Ward, residents reported that a visually impaired man was assaulted after refusing to hand over a mobile phone. The victim was given first aid, though his current condition remains unclear.

Police spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the attacks, assuring that security agencies are actively working to rescue the victims and restore calm in the affected areas.

Fresh Abductions in the FCT

In Abuja, communities in the Bwari Area Council faced renewed tension following another night attack in Gidan-Bijimi, a settlement near the Kaduna boundary. Six young women and a 16-year-old boy were taken during the raid, according to residents.

The attack, which occurred around 9:47 p.m. on Wednesday, created panic among locals already concerned by previous incidents in the region. Local vigilance groups attempted to intervene but retreated due to limited resources.

As of Thursday morning, families reported that no contact had been made with the attackers, while police were still verifying the details.

Church Confirms Passing of Kaduna Cleric

The Diocese of Kaduna, Anglican Communion, has announced the death of Venerable Edwin Achi, who was abducted in October along with his wife and daughter. His passing was described as a deep loss to the Diocese and the wider Christian community. The Church also announced the cancellation of the upcoming “Stand Up for Jesus 2025” event in his honour.

The Diocese assured that prayers continue for the safe return of his wife and daughter.

Federal Government Responds to Rising Insecurity

Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, reaffirmed that the Nigerian military is intensifying efforts to eliminate criminal networks responsible for attacks across the country. He explained that intermittent assaults are typical of guerrilla-style tactics but insisted that security forces are “working day and night” to restore normalcy.

He further confirmed that the Federal Government has launched a full investigation into recent school abductions, including claims that security personnel were withdrawn prior to an incident in Kebbi State.

Police Redeploy Over 11,000 Personnel

Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed that 11,566 police officers previously assigned to VIP protection have now been deployed to underserved communities to strengthen grassroots security.

He stated that the initiative is part of broader reforms aimed at improving community policing and ensuring fair distribution of manpower nationwide.

Cardinal Onaiyekan Calls for Better Equipment, Not More Personnel

Catholic Cardinal John Onaiyekan called on the Federal Government to prioritize properly equipping the officers already serving across the country rather than recruiting additional personnel. The Cardinal emphasized the need for immediate action, stressing that adequately supported police officers are capable of confronting insecurity.

Experts and Community Leaders Advocate Unity

Former Senator Shehu Sani and humanitarian organizations participating in the 9th International Conference on Love and Tolerance urged Nigerians to embrace unity, understanding, and dialogue. They highlighted the importance of addressing root causes of conflict, promoting peaceful coexistence, and supporting security agencies with the resources they need to protect communities.

Dalung Breaks Silence: TikTok Chat With Bandit Exposes Deep Secrets Behind The Violence

Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has opened up about a surprising and thought-provoking conversation he once had with a young man who claimed to be living in the bush as a bandit. Dalung shared the experience during an interview with News Central, explaining how the encounter gave him a deeper understanding of the issues fueling insecurity……CONTINUE READING

According to Dalung, he was browsing TikTok when he came across the young man, who openly described himself as someone living in the forest due to ongoing conflict. Curious, Dalung asked why they engaged in violent activities. The young man responded that they had suffered losses themselves and felt targeted by vigilante groups who, according to him, harmed their people and took their cattle. This, he said, pushed them into retaliation and led them deeper into the bush.

Dalung explained that he challenged the young man, pointing out that innocent people—including other Fulani individuals—were being harmed in the process. The young man replied that, from their viewpoint, only those living in the bush were considered part of their community, while anyone living in town was seen differently. It was a response that, according to Dalung, revealed how distorted perceptions can worsen the cycle of conflict.

Wanting to know if there was any path toward peace, Dalung asked what could help end the violence. The young man shared that they were open to negotiation and discussions that could encourage them to give up their weapons and reintegrate into society. Dalung noted that the confidence with which the young man spoke was unsettling, but it also showed that dialogue could be part of the solution.

Reflecting on the experience, Dalung urged the National Assembly to consider constitutional changes that would allow Nigerians the legal right to defend themselves responsibly, especially in areas affected by insecurity.

His conversation serves as a reminder of how complex the nation’s security challenges are—and how personal engagement, understanding, and strategic dialogue may help chart a way forward.

He added that the Kishi incident was also contained quickly:

“Upon arrival, we discovered the generator room was completely engulfed. Our firemen acted immediately and stopped the fire from reaching the main building. It was fully extinguished in record time.”
