Tinubus Oriental hotel is on fire.

Oriental Hotel belonging to the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, has been set ablaze at Lekki Phase One, Lagos State.

The hotel was set on fire on Tuesday night, October 20, 2020, after Nigerian Soldiers opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate, killing about nine people and injuring so many others.

KanyiDaily had earlier reported that Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) situated close to the hotel was also affected by the fire outbreak.

Below are some of the video captured at the scene:

Meanwhile, a former First Lady of the United States of America, Hillary Clinton has asked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army to stop killing young #EndSARS protesters.

Arsenal have given up hope on signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey, with the 27-year-olds 50m release clause considered impossible, according to Spanish publication AS.

Partey had been Arsenals first-choice target in the position, with the clubs scouts having monitored the Ghana international for a protracted period. However, theyve been left with no option but to turn to cheaper alternatives.

Meanwhile, a report in France claims head coach Mikel Arteta has spoken to Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara personally in a bid to persuade the Spaniard to sign for the Gunners.

Thiago has less than a year remaining on his contract with the German champions, with the club reluctantly accepting that he will depart this summer, but Liverpool have always been in pole position to sign the 29-year-old.

The Athletic claim that Arsenal have held talks with Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar, who is valued at around 50m by the Champions League semi-finalists.

The Gunners need to sell players in order to fund any incomings, though, with vice-captain Hector Bellerin subject to interest from PSG, who hope to capture the 25-year-old for a fee in the region of 30m.

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is attracting interest from across Europe, with Aston Villa and Villarreal competing for the Argentines signature. However, Arsenal are keen to hold onto the 28-year-old and are expected to offer him a new contract.

The 27m arrival of Gabriel Magalhaes is set to trigger outgoings in the centre of defence, with Rob Holding expected to join Newcastle on a season-long loan.

Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangs three-year contract extension is expected to be announced in the near future, too.
