Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi claimed a record sixth Ballon d’Or in Paris last night ahead of Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Argentine moved one clear of Ronaldo after the pair had been locked on five awards each as he reclaimed title he last won in 2015, with the Portuguese claiming the two subsequent gongs and Luka Modric surprisingly picking up the accolade last year to end the 10-year dominance of the two footballing icons.
This year’s victor finished astonishingly fifth in last term’s rankings and has come back with a vengeance this time around, producing a typically outstanding year in front of goal for Barca, hitting 40 strikes this calendar year and registering a further 17 assists to boot.

The forward did so in just 3516 minutes on the field, putting his club tally at slightly better than a goal or assist every 61.7 minutes.
He also claimed a 10th La Liga trophy and a Supercopa de Espana but was denied in the final of the Copa del Rey and was on the wrong end of a 4-0 battering at Anfield that saw Liverpool eventually go on to claim the Champions League title.
Meanwhile, Dutch defender, Matthijs de Ligt beat Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze to win the Kopa Trophy at the 2019 Ballon d’Or going on in Paris, France.

INEC


A section of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Office in Ijebu-Ijesha Oriade Local Government, in Osun has been gutted by fire.
The incident occurred around 3 am on Sunday.
It gathered that some hoodlums suspected to be political thugs allegedly set a section of the building ablaze along with some election materials.
An electric generator owned by the commission was also burnt.
Some of the staff at the building, however, fled the scene.
Confirming the incident to NAN, Mr. Olusegun Agbaje, the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, said it was a minor incident.
Agbaje said the fire did not affect Saturday’s election results.
“What happened was purely criminal and does not have any political undertone.
“Some of our staff heading to the office met some yahoo-yahoo boys on their way.
“On getting to our office, they discovered that the hoodlums were after them.

“Our staff dropped the election materials and the generator with them and fled.
“The hoodlum thereafter poured the petrol on the generator on the election materials and set them ablaze.
“What I heard was that the hoodlums said someone called them a nickname which angered them but whosoever called them the nickname is not one of our staff.
“But I can authoritatively confirm to you that the election results were not affected and the building was not razed,’’ Agbaje said.
The REC added that the collation officer for the Local Government was already at the INEC State Headquarters collation centre in Osogbo with the election results.
Agabaje also said that no lives were lost. (NAN)
