We received N28m ransom before releasing Ozekhome – Suspected kidnapper

Frank Azuekor, one of four suspects charged with kidnapping Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, on Tuesday, said his gang took a N28 million ransom before releasing Mr. Ozekhome.

I will pay Osun workers before June 30 – Aregbesola

The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has promised to pay workers in the state their salaries before the end of this month.
The governor made the promise in a statement issued in Osogbo on Sunday by his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon.
Most workers are being owed seven months’ salaries.
But the statement was silent on whether the governor would pay the backlog or he would pay part of the salaries.
The statement read in part, “Before the end of June, workers would be paid their salaries.”
The governor stated that he had a great dream for the state and that was why he was in a hurry to begin many programmes which had earned him applause even outside the country.

Lagos PDP asks Ambode to declare assets publicly

The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has asked the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, to publicly declare his assets.
The PDP said the governor should make the public declaration of his assets before or on June 29, 2015. Ambode was sworn in as the governor on May 29.

In a statement on Sunday by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taofik Gani, the PDP asked Ambode to “personally make public in the media, his assets as of when sworn in as the present governor of the state.”
The statement read, “The governor is also tasked to make public in the media, the details of the handover notes and assets of the past governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola.
“The deliberate neglect will however compel us and other well-meaning Lagosians to explore the relevance of the Freedom of Information Act on the matter.
“The PDP posits that the necessity for the present governor of Lagos State to make public his present assets is more ignited by the huge foreign and local debts of nearly a trillion naira now left behind by the past governor who yet has been linked to many personal bank accounts and property within and outside the country.
