<p>In the press conference ahead of the game, Jose Peseiro told reporters that the Super Eagles must give their 100 percent against South Africa.</p>
<p>The 63-year-old Portuguese tactician stressed that South Africa has proven to be a tough team by knocking out FIFA World Cup semi-finalists, Morocco in the round of 16.</p>
<p><em>“We’re doing a good job. Good organization and good commitment, we play like a team together,”</em> Jose Peseiro said.</p>

<p><em>“We must play 100% or more to beat a very good team.”</em></p>
<p>Peseiro added, <em>“They know they are going to play against a good team, but Morocco, one of the favourites out 2-0.</em></p>
<p><em>“We know the power of the opponent, we know they want to win like us, they have confidence, they have good organization, they want to win the AFCON like us but my importance is our team.</em></p>
<p><em>“We want to play a good match, create opportunities, prevent the opponent from creating opportunities, only that.</em></p>
<p><em>“Favorite is not in our heads. If it enters our head, it will fly, you understand. We want to put our feet on the ground."</em></p>

<h2>The Taraba State Command of the <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nigeria Police Force</a> has commended four mobile police officers for refusing N8.5 million bribe from a suspected bandit.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> learnt that the officers were on a routine stop and search operation when they nabbed the suspected bandit and subsequently rejected the bribe he offered them.</p>
<p>The State Commissioner of Police, <strong>David Iloyalonomo,</strong> personally recognized and rewarded the officers at the Taraba State Police Command Headquarters.</p>
<p>During an interaction with journalists at the checkpoint, one of the officers involved in the arrest, Ngamarju Gambo, explained that their commitment to fighting corruption and maintaining peace in the country motivated them to reject the bribe.</p>
<p>He emphasized that they made it clear to the suspect that engaging in corrupt practices was not in line with the values of the Nigeria Police Force.</p>
<p>Iloyalonomo expressed his intention to recommend the officers to the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for potential promotion and national recognition due to their exemplary conduct.</p>
<p>He identified the four mobile police officers as Inspr Difference Tih AP/NO 362424, Inspr Ngamarju Gambo AP/NO 362385, Inspr Usman Haruna AP/NO 246517 and Cpl Zarudeen Mamuda F/NO 517199</p>
<p><em>“The officers, while on patrol duty, intercepted a Toyota Starlet ash in colour with registration number YLA 321 ZY carrying three passengers,”</em> Channels Television quoted the CP saying.</p>
<p>He added: “<em>The officers, with their professional intuition, suspected without an iota of doubt the occupants of the vehicle, and upon questioning, the occupants could not give a satisfactory account of themselves.</em></p>
<p><i>“They were, therefore, ordered to alight from the vehicle, during which two of the passengers took to their heels and headed towards the nearby mountains, while one suspect was effectively restrained and arrested.</i></p>
<p><i>“A search was conducted in the vehicle, and the sum of eight million five hundred and fifty-five thousand nairas was recovered.</i></p>
<p><em>“The suspect offered the whole amount of money as a bribe for his freedom but was rejected by the good ambassadors of the Nigeria Police Force.”</em></p>
<p>The suspect, along with his accomplices, has been actively assisting the police in an ongoing investigation into a series of past kidnappings.</p>
<p>The police commissioner emphasized that once the investigations are concluded, the suspect and his associates will face charges in court for multiple offences, such as kidnapping, banditry, and attempting to bribe a law enforcement officer.</p>
