Iran War: Petrol hits N937/litre in Lagos, N975 in Abuja

 Lagos State and Abuja residents are facing fresh fuel price pressure as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the nerve center of crude oil, continue to disrupt global energy markets, pushing crude oil prices above $80 per barrel and driving domestic petrol costs closer to N1,000 per litre.

Motorists, transport operators, and commuters across major cities woke up to sudden price adjustments at filling stations. For example, in Lagos, several fuel outlets raised Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) prices from N830 to about N937 per litre.

Industry sources linked the price surge to a recent upward review in ex-depot prices by Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals, which reportedly moved its gantry price from N774 to about N874–N875 per litre.

FIFA president calls for footballers who cover their mouths during confrontations to be sent off after Vinicius Jr racism row

 FIFA president, Gianni Infantino has called for players who cover their mouths in on-pitch confrontations to be sent off.

 

Infantino's words come after Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior said he was racially abused by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni in their Champions League playoff first leg, with Prestianni covering his mouth during the alleged incident.

 

UEFA have since opened an investigation into the accusation, with Prestianni suspended for the second leg between the two sides and facing up to a 10-match ban should he be found guilty by European football's governing body.

 

"If a player covers his mouth and says something, and this has a racist consequence, then he has to be sent off, obviously," Infantino told Sky News.
