BUHARI'S MINISTERS: Amaechi, Fashola, Others Make List
With just weeks to the inauguration, the shape of the new cabinet is beginning to emerge. The position of the Secretary to the Federal Government is between Governor Amaechi and Chris Ngige. The FCT minister will likely go to Governor Fashola. Minister of Petroleum will like go to the man who said there is no subsidy and that Nigerians can buy fuel for as low as N50 per liter.
That man is Prof. David West, who has worked closely with Buhari before and remained loyal to him. In all, the government may be composed of Nigerians who are not only driven by the desire to restore the dream of the founding fathers but also share the modest lifestyle of Buhari.

Along with Patience Jonathan, ex-Niger Delta minister, Godsday Orubebe and governor of Katsina state, Ibrahim Shema are going to be sanctioned by America.

Kidnapping is our family business, says arrested nanny
The nanny, who kidnapped three children in the Surulere area of Lagos State, has said her husband, Waheed Kareem, is the mastermind of the kidnap.
She added that Kareem was the head of a kidnap ring that involved some members of his family. It was gathered that Kareem escaped arrest.
The nanny, who adopted a pseudonym, Mary Akinloye, to deceive the Orekoyas, confessed that her actual name was Funmilayo Adeyemi, a 35-year-old indigene of Osun State.
PUNCH had reported that the Orekoyas had posted on OLX, an online sales portal, saying they needed a nanny for their children.
The suspect was said to have contacted the family and was employed immediately.
Barely 24 hours after she was employed, the nanny abducted three children of the family – Aderomola (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years).
Our correspondent reported that N15m ransom was initially demanded from the family, which was later reduced to N13 after much appeal by the victims’ mother.
PUNCH reported that the family paid an undisclosed amount of money into the bank account of the kidnappers before the children were released on Tuesday.
On Thursday, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Kayode Aderanti, announced that the nanny had been arrested.
