He was on his way to Jay Jay Okocha's Club 10 with friends for May7ven's birthday party when he was robbed at gunpoint in stand still traffic around Anthony area on Friday night at bout 9pm. The four armed robbers jumped into their car, took their phones, money, and other valuable goods they found on them. This is why I hate driving at night in Lagos...I've been harassed so many times in traffic by area boys...just nothing as major as this

Newcastle have made Lille’s Yohan Cabaye their first signing of the summer, after agreeing a five-year deal for the midfielder.

The 25-year-old helped the French side to a league and cup double last season, but told his team-mates before their final game of the season that he was bound for Tyneside.

The transfer fee is reported to be £4.3m.

“This is a fantastic move for me,” Cabaye said.

“I have enjoyed great times with Lille but the time is right now to test myself against the best and playing for Newcastle United in the Premier League does just that.

“My first impressions of the club and the city are that it is a lovely place and the stadium is magnificent.”

Cabaye’s good form with Lille earned him a France debut against Norway in August.
