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.

A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6.
