It happened during the tournament and I think I had a small tear initially in the second group stage game against Cote d’Ivoire. I managed to play on and then after the final I had another MRI, and we realised it was really ruptured.</em></p> <p><em>“It was very sore playing with it, and I couldn’t really train after the second group game. I was just trying ice to keep the swelling down.</em></p> <p><em>“I might do half an hour of training the day before each game, and then during the game, a combination of painkillers and adrenaline means you can get through it. The day after each game it was definitely showing as I was struggling to walk.”</em></p> <p>William Troost-Ekong is currently undergoing a recovery process after <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/28/william-troost-ekong-confirms-his-fitness-status-ahead-of-surgery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was operated on to treat a lingering injury.</a></p> <p>Troost-Ekong told CNN that he is expected to be fit enough to return to the field in May which means that he is expected to be ready for football before the commencement of the 2024-2025 season.</p> <p>This also means he should be available for the Super Eagles of Nigeria when the team take on South Africa and Benin Republic in a 2026 World Cup qualifier in June 2024.</p> <p><em>“I should be back and fit again in May, but I think it’s probably season over. You never know how rehab will go but I don’t want to rush it because, at my tender age of 30, you have to be smart about these injuries,”</em> Troost-Ekong said.</p> <p><em>“I want to be 100% for next season, 100% right. If I can play at the end of this season that’s great, if not then I will be ready for next season.”</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/25/william-troost-ekong-says-he-played-2024-afcon-with-injury-reveals-return-date/">William Troost-Ekong Says He Played 2024 AFCON With Injury, Reveals Return Date</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>

Kaduna Schoolchildren: It Is Not Important If Ransom Was Paid Or Not — Governor Sani

<p><img width="726" height="423" src="https://www.naijanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Kaduna-Governor-Uba-Sani.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Kaduna Govt Contacts Bandits, Hires Private Negotiator To Secure Release of Kidnapped Pupils" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" srcset="https://www.naijanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Kaduna-Governor-Uba-Sani.jpg 726w, https://www.naijanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Kaduna-Governor-Uba-Sani-300x175.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px" /></p> <h2>The Governor of Kaduna State, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/uba-sani/">Uba Sani</a>, on Sunday, stated that the reports that ransom was paid to free the abducted Kuriga students is irrelevant.</h2> <p>Governor Sani in an interview on Channels TV said what is important was the fact that the government had been able to rescue all of them unhurt.</p> <p>The schoolchildren were abducted from LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, about four weeks ago but the Defence Headquarters, on Saturday, said they had been rescued.</p> <p>There were rumours that the government paid ransom to the kidnappers for the release of the schoolchildren.</p> <p>He said, <em>“What is more important today is that our children are back home. Most of those permutations are not necessary. If your child is kidnapped, will you be sitting down and talking about how he was released?</em></p> <p><em>“For me, what is more important is that those children are back home. Their parents are extremely happy and what is important to them is to reunite with their children.</em></p> <p><em>“But some people who have no business with the situation are the ones coming out with some irresponsible permutations about whether ransom is being paid, whether someone had gone into the kinetic or non-kinetic approach. What is important to us in Kaduna is that the children are back home.”</em></p> <p>The governor explained that the government handled the Kuriga schoolchildren abduction very discreetly, adding, <em>“We tried as much as possible not to jeopardise the lives of the innocent children. Some people at some point wanted to politicize the whole incident.”</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/25/kaduna-schoolchildren-it-is-not-important-if-ransom-was-paid-or-not-governor-sani/">Kaduna Schoolchildren: It Is Not Important If Ransom Was Paid Or Not — Governor Sani</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
