Popular Nigerian Journalist Is Dead

Popular Nigerian sports broadcast journalist, Temisan Okomi, has passed away.

PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that the demise of Okomi, who works with Classic FM 97.3, was announced by a journalist with News Central, Olawale Adigun, in a post via his 𝕏 handle on Friday,

Confirming Okomi’s death, Adigun wrote, ““The worst way to go into the weekend is hearing about Temisan Okomi’s passing. I’m so gutted and, at the same time, terrified. This man meant so much to me.”

The late journalist had worked with Lagos Television, HiTV, and other prominent media organisations in Nigeria.

Okomi’s last was on April 14, 2026, when he wrote, “The Champions League is hard, man.”

In other news, Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez is set to return for Chelsea this weekend after serving an internal suspension, but doubts linger over the midfielder’s long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Enzo Fernandez, 25, sparked controversy during the international break after giving three interviews while on duty with Argentina, where he spoke about a desire to one day live in Spain’s capital. The comments reignited links with Real Madrid and led to a two-match ban agreed by head coach Liam Rosenior and the club hierarchy.

Fernandez’s representative, Javier Pastore, attempted to have the suspension reduced, but the appeal failed. The Argentine midfielder subsequently missed the Blues’ 7-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Port Vale and the more damaging 3-0 Premier League defeat at home to Manchester City.

In his final interview, Pastore hinted that Chelsea’s struggle to qualify for the UEFA Champions League could affect his client’s future. Another defeat followed, leaving the London side four points behind Liverpool FC in the race for fifth place.
