New Al-Nassr manager, Jorge Jesus has suggested that he wants to help captain, Cristiano Ronaldo win trophies at the club.

Jesus also suggested that without Ronaldo he wouldn’t have joined Al-Nassr.

On Monday evening, Al-Nassr officially announced the appointment of Jesus as their new manager.

The Portuguese gaffer replaced Stefano Pioli, who recently left the club after a disappointing season which saw the club finish third in the Saudi Pro League.

Speaking on his new job after his appointment, Jesus said: “Without Cristiano Ronaldo, I certainly would not be here [Al-Nassr].

“The motivation is high. Al Nassr needs to win titles, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has always won everything at the clubs he’s played for.

“He has not won practically anything at this one yet, so I will see if I can help him. We speak the same language, so it will be easy. We are Portuguese.”

The Kano State Police Command said it has successfully apprehended 28 suspected thugs across the state.

The arrests were made during a three-day exercise – from Saturday, July 12, to Monday, July 14.

Speaking in a statement on Monday, the Kano State Police Command, described the coordinated effort as a “successful clearance operation.”

“The operation, which was conducted from Saturday, 12th to Monday, 14th of July, 2025 aimed at curbing thuggery-related offenses, was carried out under the auspices of Operation Kukan Kura, a community-centered initiative that encourages active participation from members of the public in crime fighting, prevention, management, and control,” the statement read.

The state police commissioner, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, personally led his operational commanders throughout the exercise, which was concentrated in key areas across Kano metropolis.

The results, the command noted, were significant.

“Notably, the operation yielded impressive results of the arrest of twenty-eight (28) suspects and recovery of dangerous weapons and illicit drugs, with no reported cases of undetected mobile phone robbery or theft recorded throughout the State,” the police spokesperson added.

Commissioner Bakori, commended his officers for their professionalism and unwavering dedication.

He also urged them not to relent in their duties as protectors of public safety.

“The Commissioner of Police commended the officers for their commitment and dedication to duty, charging them to sustain the tempo in ensuring the safety and security of lives and property in Kano State,” the release noted.

The statement also emphasized that the success of the operation reflects the value of public-police cooperation and the command’s determination to remain responsive to community concerns.

“The success of Operation Kukan Kura is a testament to the Command’s resolve to engage with the community and work collaboratively to prevent and control crimes.”

While thanking residents for their constant support, the force urged them to continue reporting any glimpse of strange activities in their localities to the nearest police station.

Buba Galadima, a former ally to the late Muhammadu Buhari says he has forgiven the ex-President for everything he did to him.

Buba Galadima was one of the signatories to the merger that birthed the  All Progressives Congress, APC, and worked tirelessly  for the election of Buhari in 2015.

But at some point, the former National Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, left the former President and became a known critic of his administration.

In one of his recent interviews, Galadima described both the APC and the opposition figures turning Buhari’s home into a Mecca as useless people who can’t differentiate between their left and right, insisting the former President is of no use.

He said Buhari is not relevant in Nigerian politics and should go rest and wait for his death.

Galadima, who claimed to be the fourth person on the list of those who signed the form for the creation of APC, said he later found out that Buhari was the greatest fraud to have happened to Nigeria, adding that his former ally managed to conceal his true intentions for 15 years.

The President died on Sunday in London, United Kingdom while receiving treatment for a yet to be disclosed ailment.

Speaking in Hausa after hearing about the passing of the former military head of state, Galadima said “…I forgive Buhari for everything he has done to me in life…”

Buhari will be buried on Tuesday in his home town of Daura, Katsina State.

A Nigerian delegation led by the vice president, Kashim Shettima is currently in London to bring home the remains of the former President.
