Court refuses to stop Fayose’s impeachment

                                                                 Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola, have raced to a Federal High Court in Abuja to stop the 19 All Progressives Congress members of the state House of Assembly from impeaching them.

But they met a brick wall as the judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, turned down their request and granted only the prayers contained in their ex parte application relating to the service of the court processes on the defendants.

Fayose and Olusola, in the ex parte application, asked for an interim order stopping   the impeachment notice served on them and the moves to remove them from office.

Rather than granting the prayers for interim injunction, Justice Mohammed ordered the defendants in the suit, including the Speaker of the House, Adewale Omirin, and the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to appear in his court on April 16.

Nanny absconds with three kids one day after employment

                                                                                               The missing children

The Orekoya family on Lawanson Road, Surulere, Lagos State says, presently, it has no reason to be happy.

This is because a nanny employed on March 7 by the household disappeared with three children a day after she was employed.

The names of the missing children are Aderomola, (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years).

The nanny, Mary Akinloye, a 23-year-old indigene of Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been contracted via OLX, an online sales portal.

The children’s mother, Adebisi, told PUNCH Metro that Akinloye looked older than her age and that her claim that she was an indigene of Oyo State was questionable because of her accent.

She explained that the family had a nanny, who suddenly stopped coming to work after observing her annual leave.

Kim Kardashian West may have to resort to surrogacy

                                                                                 Kim Kardashian West.

Kim Kardashian West may have to use a surrogate mother if she wants to have a second child.

The 34-year-old reality TV star - who gave birth to her first child North West in June 2013 - has a problem with her uterus which means she might not be able to carry another baby, and in the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim is told that a proposed operation to remove parts of her placenta that were still stuck to her uterus after her last birth would expose her to risks during her next pregnancy.

Fighting back tears, Kim says: "There is nothing more on this earth that I want more than to be pregnant again and to go through that experience, I would pay any amount of money to have that."

"Surrogacy is really scary for me, I don't want one, I don't want that to be my reality.

APC wins 214 House of Reps’ seats

                                         National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun

The All Progressives Congress will firmly be in control of the 8th House of Representatives as the majority party with over 214 members.

There are a total of 360 seats in the second chamber of the National Assembly.

Figures emerging from the outcome of the March 28 National Assembly poll, show that APC members are now 214, against the Peoples Democratic Party, which has 125 lawmakers.

The statistics gives a gap of 89 between the APC and the PDP in favour of the former.

The figures, which The PUNCH obtained on Tuesday, exclude the 11 federal constituency seats in Jigawa State, where election has yet to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

When elections for the 11 seats are conducted, the APC will possibly get additional seats, meaning that its numerical strength in the House may be well above 214 at inauguration on June 6.
