Manchester City star Rayan Cherki held his hand up in apology after being called out for wearing Hugo Ekitike’s Liverpool shirt on the substitutes’ bench during his side’s 4-0 FA Cup drubbing of the Reds.

The awkward moment came after the 22-year-old was replaced by Tijjani Reijnders in the 71st minute.

He left the pitch and then swapped shirts with Liverpool forward Ekitike, who had himself come off three minutes earlier.

The pair play together for France and had earlier greeted each other warmly before the match.

Cherki, who joined City from Lyon last summer, then put on the Liverpool shirt while he sat down – and was quickly alerted to his faux pas, seemingly by a member of City’s coaching staff.

More details have emerge on the attack at a branch of The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Arikon community, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The church was invaded by bandits during Easter service, killing five persons and abducting 29 worshipers.

Report quoted a security source as revealing that the bandits invaded the community on over 20 motorcycles and surrounded the church when service was still ongoing.

He said as some the bandits alighted from the motorcycle, they opened fire in different different directions, leading to the killing of five people who tried to escape.

According to him, some worshipers who were at a nearby Catholic Church, took to their heels when they heard gunshots.

“Actually, the bandits first attacked the ECWA church. And while they were shooting, worshipers at the Catholic Church started running out of the church but the bandits killed one of them,” he said.

He identified those killed at ECWA Church as Tanko Haruna, Waziri Agunu, Aminu Soba, Joseph Audu and Adamu Jatau, adding that they were killed while trying to escape.

He also gave names of some of the abducted worshipers as

Garba Tanko, alongside with his wife Lami Garba, and one of their daughters, Rachel Garba as well as a grand child, Moses Yakubu.

Others are Rahab Usman, and his daughter, Victoria Rahab. Sunday Ayuba, Dantani Alhaji alongside his wife, Mrs Mary Dantani, including their three daughters all identified as Helen, Rejoice and Ahmadu, were among those kidnapped.

The security source, however, disclosed that the Kaduna state Police Commissioner, CP Rabiu Mohammed, alongside the Sector 4 Commander of the Nigerian Army, Col. IR ADOM led convoy of over 30 vehicles to the community to access the situation in the area.

The report said the entire community has been deserted.

After the attack, some villagers reportedly fled to neighboring Katari, Jere and Kachia towns.
