Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong Adebayo Opeyemi, Lagos Following recent attacks by gunmen in Plateau State, the Plateau Heritage Movement has called on the state government to consider reviving Operation Rainbow to address insecurity in the state.

But the consulting firm warned United could soon find themselves slipping behind Liverpool and Manchester City due to their failure to qualify for the Champions League. Solskjaer offered a robust defence of the club's status on Tuesday, speaking ahead of his side's FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves. "The most important thing for me is we get the results sorted and the performances on the pitch," he said. "But I know that we've got the resources, we've got the backing. If we need to go into the transfer mark...
