ONE WORD

More than two years after losing two children to suspected kidnappers, joy has returned to the family of Fatai and Suliat Azeez, who have welcomed a set of triplets at their home on Aiyepe Avenue in the Okokomaiko area of Lagos State. A crowd of residents and well-wishers thronged the house, on Monday, to catch a glimpse of the babies. The newborns, two girls and a boy, were given birth to on Thursday, February 28, 2019. In November 2016, Suliat, who had a hairdressing workshop in the Okokomaiko area, had taken a new apprentice, who gave her name as Grace. Grace, whose real name is Gladys Austin, had been asked to resume after promising to bring a guarantor the following day. However, she was said to have tricked Suliat’s two children, Kafayat (six) and Farouk (four), and allegedly disappeared with them that same day. Efforts by the family to locate the children had proved abortive. However, in March 2017, the suspect was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robb...

Manchester United team-mates Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, were involved in a bust-up after their win over Southampton this weekend, UK Sun reports. Lukaku netted a brace in the 3-2 victory, but had the chance to complete his hat-trick late on. But Pogba opted to take the penalty and saw his effort saved. The victory was enough for United to leapfrog Arsenal to move back into fourth place, but it did allegedly spark a dressing room row between Lukaku and Pogba. It is believed that Lukaku was disappointed that Pogba took the penalty against the Saints as he was on a hat-trick at the time. The Belgian reportedly reminded Pogba that he supported him during the difficult Jose Mourinho period. He also allegedly told him that had the roles been reversed, he would have let him take the penalty to complete his hat-trick.

This is not the first time we are running campaigns in Lagos, and there is the provision in the law that for politics, there is a waiver on adverts for as long as it is within the specified area and we followed that. The ruling party in Lagos has been having a field day on adverts before we started. They have been running their adverts on governor, deputy governor and others without issues and even electronics boards but when we put ours out on the Third Mainland Bridge, they were vandalised in a way that was disgusting.
