He said as a party, they had resolved not to challenge the outcome of the elections at the tribunal even though they had misgivings in the manner the elections were held. 



“PDP will not go to the tribunal to challenge the outcome of this election, because we do not want your government to be distracted by election petitions,’’ he said. The governor said party contest was not war but a game whose outcome should be accepted by participants.

Olx nanny who kidnapped Lagos children arrested.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, has said the police have arrested Mary Akinloye, the 23-year-old nanny, who kidnapped three children in the Surulere area of Lagos State.

Aderanti spoke on Thursday morning on a live Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily.
The three missing children of the Orekoya family were kidnapped by their nanny, Mary Akinloye, in Lagos State.

Akinloye was said to have been hired through an online trading portal (OLX)

In an interview with Channels Television, police sources revealed that the kidnappers, faced by immense pressure the incident had generated, abandoned the children in Shasha Area of Lagos State, Nigeria’s south-west region.

The children were immediately taken to an anonymous hospital for observation and they are now re-united with their parents.

The kids between the ages of 6, 4 and 11 months old were abducted by the housemaid on April 8, a day into her job as the family maid.

She, as well as her accomplices, contacted the children’s’ parents and demanded a N15m ransom.
