Liverpool contact police over viral video of Mohamed Salah using mobile phone while driving

The Reds star might come in for punishment after appearing to operate his mobile device behind the wheel

Liverpool have alerted the Merseyside Police about a viral video of Mohamed Salah using his mobile phone while driving.

In a footage circulating Twitter - presumed to be taken after the striker had led his team to a 4-0 victory over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon - the Egypt international was filmed using his phone behind the wheel in traffic.

Fans, including kids, were jostling for the forward's attention, which he paid none. Salah continued on his device as he wheeled away from the traffic.

However, Liverpool, via a spokesperson, said that they have made the police aware of the situation; one believed to have prompted their tweet.

Saraki visits Obasanjo, makes know comment on NASS reconvening date

— 14th August 2018

The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Monday evening, paid a visit to the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo. The visit lasted about two hours behind closed doors.It took place at the Obasanjo’s residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta. The Senate President had last week paid a similar visit to a former Military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida (retd), at his residence in Minna, Niger State. Saraki, who was accompanied on the visit by his aides, Daily Sun learnt, arrived at Obasanjo’s residence about 5.30p.m and left around 7.15p.m.

In a brief chat with reporters shortly before his departure, Saraki, who kept silent on the reconvening date of the National Assembly, disclosed that his visit to Obasanjo was a private one. He equally declined comment on the ongoing crisis rocking the National Assembly. He, however, stated that he only came to visit the presidential library after missing its official opening held on March 4, 2017. “You know I missed the official opening of the library and that is why I have decided to come and see the place and honestly it is beautiful; we are very proud of what he (Obasanjo) has done here,” Saraki said.
