Popular Nigerian sports broadcast journalist, Temisan Okomi, has passed away.
The sad news was announced on Friday by Olawale Adigun of News Central via his đť•Ź (formerly Twitter) handle.
Reacting to the loss, 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.”
Okomi was widely respected in the sports media space, having worked with Classic FM 97.3, Lagos Television, HiTV, and other prominent media organisations across Nigeria.
His final post, shared on April 14, 2026, read: “The Champions League is hard, man.”
Fernandez Set for Chelsea Return Amid Uncertain Future
Meanwhile, Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez is set to return for Chelsea FC this weekend after serving an internal suspension. However, uncertainty remains over his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Fernandez sparked controversy during the international break after granting multiple interviews while on duty with Argentina, where he expressed a desire to one day live in Spain’s capital. His comments reignited speculation linking him with Real Madrid.
The situation led to a two-match suspension agreed upon by head coach Liam Rosenior and the club’s hierarchy. His representative, Javier Pastore, attempted to have the ban reduced, but the appeal was unsuccessful.
As a result, Fernandez missed Chelsea’s 7–0 FA Cup semi-final victory over Port Vale, as well as their 3–0 Premier League defeat at home to Manchester City.
In a recent interview, Pastore suggested that Chelsea’s struggle to secure a UEFA Champions League spot could influence his client’s future. Another loss has left the London club four points behind Liverpool FC in the race for fifth place.
