Frank Gashumba Arrested


Sisimuka Uganda Boss Frank Gashumba has been arrested and is now being held at CID head offices in Kampala on the orders of the states.
Through his Facebook page, Gashumba has said; “As expected the State has ordered for my Arrest, now being held at CID headquarters”.
 
It’s not yet clear what could have resulted to his arrest.
Gashumba has been involved in tough verbal exchange with prominent persons like Speaker Rebecca Kadaga when the latter described him as a Rwandese who shouldn’t be criticizing Ugandans.
Gashumba threatened to sue the Speaker if she does not apologize to him.
Recently, the Communications regulator, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) issued an injunction halting NTV from hosting the embattled Gashumba until further notice.
Frank Gashumba reacted by attacking UCC and describing them as Certified Cowards, saying that this is not the work of UCC but rather the government is trying to stop him from being broadcasted.
“I suspect small vampires who have participated in looting and mismanaging our country, for many years, are using UCC to fight our freedom of expression.” Said Gashumba

Paper Talk: Arsenal & Everton battle; Leicester eye Leeds star

Arsenal and Everton will compete to sign one of England’s most promising youngsters, while Leicester have their sights set on Leeds’ left-back, according to today’s papers.

HULL PROSPECT IN DEMAND

Arsenal and Everton are set to do battle for highly-rated Hull defender Josh Tymon in January, with Arsene Wenger and Ronald Koeman keen admirers of the 17-year-old.
Tymon impressed at left-back in the League Cup win over Bristol City on Tuesday and is expected to make his Premier League bow at Watford on Saturday with Andy Robertson sidelined through injury.
According to both the Daily Mirror and The Sun, Arsenal and Everton were already monitoring Tymon’s progress in Hull’s development squad, and regard the player as one of England’s best prospects.
The youngster has yet to sign his first professional contract at the Tigers, and both interested parties are prepared to meet whatever compensation fee Hull demand.

Arsenal news: November could prove Gunners' title-winning credentials, Arsene Wenger says


WENGER
has identified November as the acid test of Arsenal’s title credentials after admitting his players are displaying new-found resolve and maturity following last season’s failure to halt Leicester’s charge to the Premier League crown.
Arsenal currently sit second in the table, level on points with leaders Manchester City and third-placed Liverpool, after securing a comfortable 4-1 victory against bottom club Sunderland on Saturday.
The win against David Moyes’s team at the Stadium of Light extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 14 games, stretching back to the opening day defeat against Liverpool at the Emirates.
But with November bringing league games against Tottenham and Manchester United, as well as Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth, Wenger believes Arsenal’s prospects will be much clearer by the time December arrives.
“We now have difficult games coming up, with a difficult November, so by the end of November we will know more about ourselves,” Wenger said.
“The desire is there and the mentality is great, though. There is great togetherness, we have quality as well, so they are good ingredients.
“But we have to show that we can do it week in and week out.”
Arsenal secured victory at Sunderland, with two goals apiece from Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud after Jermain Defoe’s penalty had hauled the home side level in the second-half.
And Wenger admits that his team’s surge to victory suggested growing maturity in the squad.
“That’s what you want to show,” Wenger said. “But we want to show it on a longer distance. That is what is at stake.
“We’ll see, but the win shows our belief that we can bounce back from a disappointing result last week.
“We also showed we can bounce back in a game when it doesn’t go our way, so overall I believe that it can convince the team that we playing the right way.
“I think Sunderland were surprised by the strength of our push again.”
