Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

English FA Cup last 16  action brought goals for Nigerian pair Victor Moses and Emmanuel Emenike  for West Ham, while Burkina Faso’s Bertrand Traore was on the mark for  impressive Chelsea.  Elsewhere, African Player of the Year Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored  his 21st goal of the season for Borussia Dortmund while Mohamed Salah  was the man of the match with two goals in Roma’s rout of Palermo.


ENGLAND Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang  VICTOR MOSES (West Ham)  The Nigeria winger made it 1-1 in the Hammers eventual 5-1 fifth-round  FA Cup win over second-tier Blackburn Rovers when he let fly six minutes  after his side had fallen behind with a well-struck shot from 20 yards  out.

EMMANUEL EMENIKE Emenike (West Ham)  Moses’s compatriot, on loan from Turkish side Fenerbahce, had a full  debut to remember as he scored twice to help secure London club West  Ham’s place in the quarter-finals. At 2-1, he finished from close range  in the 64th minute before scoring again five minutes before the final  whistle after more good approach work by fellow two-goal hero Dimitri  Payet. Emenike might have had a hat-trick, a shot coming back off the  post before another effort was ruled out for offside in stoppage time.

BERTRAND TRAORE (Chelsea)  The Burkina Faso midfielder completed Chelsea’s 5-1 FA Cup rout of  Manchester City a minute from time at Stamford Bridge when his back  header looped in at the far post. 

SPAIN  CARLOS KAMENI (Malaga)  Cameroonian goalkeeper Kameni saved a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and  produced a string of other fine stops as Malaga held Real Madrid for the  second time this season in a 1-1 draw to strike a huge blow to Madrid’s  hopes of winning La Liga. 

MANUCHO (Rayo Vallecano)  Angolan striker Manucho scored his first league goal of the season after  being introduced as a first-half substitute to help Rayo Vallecano come  from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against Sevilla and edge four points clear of  the relegation zone. 

GERMANY  PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG (Borussia Dortmund)  The Gabon striker netted his 21st league goal of the season in  Dortmund’s controversial 1-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen. The game was  briefly halted in the second-half after Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt  refused to go to the stands after furiously protesting about a free-kick  in the build-up to Aubameyang’s goal. 

SALOMON KALOU (Hertha Berlin)  The Ivory Coast striker scored his 11th league goal of the season to  rescue a point for Hertha Berlin in their 1-1 draw at hone to Wolfsburg.  Wolves took the lead at the Olympic Stadium through Marcel Schaefer on  53 minutes, but Salomon Kalou equalised on the hour mark with a shot  after Naldo had cleared off the visitors’ line. 

FRANCE  MAJEED WARIS (Lorient)  The Ghanaian striker has had a mixed season so far, but impressed as  Lorient came from two goals down to beat Guingamp 4-3. Waris, 24, pulled  his team back into the game before half-time, and completed a brace to  put Lorient 3-2 ahead. With top-scorer Benjamin Moukandjo hobbling off  injured in the first half, Waris could have a key part to play for  Lorient for the rest of a season in which he has scored seven goals so  far. 

SAIDI NTIBAZONKIZA (Caen)  The Burundi international scored his first Ligue 1 goal for Caen against  Rennes. The 28-year-old drilled in the winner to give his team’s  European hopes a boost. Midfielder Ntibazonkiza has spent most of the  season on the bench since joining from Turkish club Akhisar Belediyespor  last summer.

ITALY  MOHAMED SALAH (Roma)  Salah was arguably man of the match in a 5-0 rout of Palermo that saw  the fleet-footed Egyptian hit a brace. Salah hit the side-netting in the  opening half then made amends when he ran on to Edin Dzeko’s flick on  the hour to beat Fabrizio Alastra and give Roma a 3-0 lead. Two minutes  later Salah scored a second, spectacular effort that he curled from an  impossibly tight angle. 

SEYDOU KEITA (Roma)  Keita has been used sparingly by Roma but the experienced Malian seized  the day on a rare start with a toe-poke from a corner that landed in the  roof of the Palermo net. Having taken plenty of physical punishment in a  bruising first half, when he fell to the ground after receiving a  wayward hand to the face, it was just rewards for the 36-year-old  defensive midfielder who scored his second league goal of the season on  his 13th appearance.

An expectant father has accused EFCC officials of breaking into his home in the middle of the night to conduct a search without a warrant. The man said he was at his home in Olokuta, Kemta, in Idi-Aba, Abeokuta between 3 am to 5 am, when some men forcefully broke into his house using a hammer.  He added that he was afraid they were armed robbers, so he hid in the guest bedroom with his pregnant wife as the men broke in through the sitting room window. According to him, the intruders claimed to be EFCC officials looking for "Yahoo boys", but they had no form of identification, neither did they have a search warrant.  Even without a search warrant, the victim alleged that they searched his house, damaged things, then left without as much as an apology. Photos shared with LIB shows that the lock on the gate leading into the compound was broken. They also used force on the burglary proof, thereby causing a dent to it. A door leadi...
