*🌐UN Alerts🚨 Govt Over El Nino*

United Nations Resident Coordinator in Zimbabwe, Mr Bishow Parajuli, has urged Government and its partners to carefully monitor the weather forecast and take precautionary measures to avert the impact of El Nino that has been forecast this farming season.

The National Climate Outlook Forum (NACOF) met recently and forecast normal to below normal rainfall across the country.

Speaking at a High-Level Multi-Stakeholder Food and Nutrition Security Forum organised by the Office of the President and Cabinet in Harare last week, Mr Parajuli said Zimbabwe was among the 25 high-risk countries globally to be negatively affected by El Nino.

“The National Climate Outlook Forum (NACOF) convened a couple of months ago and forecasted normal to below normal rainfall across Zimbabwe from October 2018 to March 2019, with potential negative impact on harvest in 2019,” he said.

“According to the Global El Nino Southern Oscillation Analysis Cell, Zimbabwe is one of the 25 high-risk countries globally, to be negatively impacted by a possible El Nino. This points to the need for the Government and its partners to carefully monitor the national level forecast in the coming weeks and months."

*Fayose Regains💪 Freedom from EFCC⛓ Custody*

Immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has been released from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) custody.

This was disclosed in a tweet by his media aide, Lere Olayinka on Monday.

Olayinka said the ex-governor would return to court on November 19.

The tweet read: Fayose just regained his freedom. He left the Federal High Court, Ikoyi a few minutes ago.

“We will meet @officialEFCC at the court from November 19. Thank you Nigerians.”

DAILY POST had reported that Fayose was last week granted N50m bail after being arraigned before Justice Mojisola Olatoregun by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of corruption.

Leicester City🐺 Players Pay Tribute to Late Owner🙏*

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel led his team-mates in paying tribute to "dedicated and passionate" owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who was killed in a helicopter crash outside King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Schmeichel wrote an open letter to the owner in which he expressed his admiration for him "as a leader, as a father and as a man".

"It is difficult to put into words how much you have meant to this football club and to the city of Leicester," he added.

England internationals Jamie Vardy, Harry Maguire and Ben Chilwell were among the other Foxes players to pay tribute.

Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff - Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare - pilot Eric Swaffer and passenger Izabela Roza Lechowicz, herself a pilot, died when the aircraft crashed at about 20:30 BST on Saturday.

Witnesses said the helicopter just cleared King Power Stadium before it spiralled out of control and crashed in a fireball.

A book of condolence will be opened at King Power Stadium from Tuesday morning and the team's next fixture against Southampton in the EFL Cup, which was scheduled for Tuesday evening, has been postponed.

Many of Leicester's players referred to Srivaddhanaprabha as 'The Boss'.

"I cannot believe this is happening. I am so totally devastated and heartbroken. I just cannot believe what I saw last night. It just doesn't seem real!" added Schmeichel, who reportedly stayed at the club's ground until 01:00 BST on Sunday.
