By Adelani Adepegba Diamond Bank Plc has begun moves to declare an oil magnate, Mr. Emeka Offor, bankrupt following an alleged N2bn debt owed by his company, Chrome Oil Services. According to a document obtained by SUNDAY PUNCH, the bank had granted a series of loans to Chrome oil which amounted to N750m, but the firm defaulted in the payment of the facility which had accrued to over N2bn by December, 2011.

 Nigeria's former FIFA member Amos Adamu has lost his appeal against a three-year ban over World Cup bid bribes. The ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has confirmed the FIFA ban and even said that the sanction was 'relatively mild given the seriousness of the offence'. Adamu was banned by FIFA's ethics committee following a Sunday Times investigation when he was secretly filmed by journalists, posing as lobbyists, asking for 800,000 US dollars to influence his vote for the 2018 World Cup. CAS said in its ruling: 'The CAS panel stressed that it was of crucial importance that top football officials should not only be honest but should evidently and undoubtedly be seen to be honest.
