Grand Santa Fe plots to unseat rival SUVs





Hyundai says its new the Grand Santa Fe will set the pace
among worthy contenders in the sport utility vehicle segment
such as Nissan X-Trail, Toyota Fortuner, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi
Pajero, Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento.
The new Grand Santa Fe, according to Hyundai Motor Company,
replaces its predecessor — Vera Cruz, but essentially remains
the same SUV, except that it fulfils the criteria for a typical six-
seater SUV commonly referred to as ‘Captain’s Chair.’
It is 225mm longer than the regular Santa Fe, incorporating an
extended 100mm wheelbase with higher and wider dimensions,
which incidentally gives the vehicle a place in the entire large
crossover/SUV market.
The Grand Santa Fe feels more at home in the city owing to its
sophisticated style and dynamic attitude, thanks to Hyundai
engineering design characteristics.
A statement by the Stallion Auto, the Nigeria’s representative of
the Hyundai brand, says the Grand Santa Fe SUV will appeal to
many drivers that appreciate details and novelty like the three
split-folding seats in the second row and fully-folding seats in
the third row yet with a total of 634 litres of boot space behind
the second row of seats.
It says, “The six-seater Hyundai Grand Santa Fe is indeed ideal
for the large family. It comes equipped with ample knee and leg
room with enough room for three adults in the rear and one kid
in the third row.”
It also has full leather upholstery, a premium six speakers
virtual surround sound system, driver/passenger side and
curtain air bags, smart key with button start and sun roof/ roof
rack with motor-driven power steer and antilock brake system.

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
