AYO FAYOSE THANKS GOD 4 SECOND CHANCE

Yes, this is the picture of the newly elected governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, prostrate to God almighty in a thankful mood.

Fayose reportedly laid down flat on the floor yesterday, during a thanksgiving service that took place at the Deeper Life Praying Camp, Ajebandele, Ado Ekiti, as he thanked God for blessings on his life.

 He reminisced about how he left the Government House eight years ago, and how according to him, he was persecuted for crimes that he didn’t commit.

“Having a second chance is very rare. If this time has been in Bible days, my name would have been one of the names to be recorded as those who God gave a second chance…

My return to government is not common in history. It is a rare miracle. During the seven and half years of my political wilderness, I was taken to Court at least 59 times over what I knew nothing. This is besides the 45 days I spent in Ikoyi Prisons,” he said.

Fayose’s wife, Feyisitan, also shared her testimony, stating that God had revealed her husband’s re-election to her.

“God revealed to me that my husband, Mr Ayodele Fayose, will return as the Governor, but He never told me the time. God told me that our return would be done in such a way that will beat the people’s imagination.

At a time, I prayed to God to please push my husband out of politics. Later, God told me that  He will leave him there for him to prove His power,” she said.

WOMAN ARRESTED FOR KILLING HER STEPDAUGHTER BY PUSHING HER IN SOAK-AWAY

Aminat Akanni, has been arrested by police in Lagos for allegedly abducting two of her stepchildren and killing one of them by pushing her in a soak-away.

Aminat Akanni, who lives in Orile, Lagos ,has reportedly abducted her two step children, 7 year old Lateef and 4 year old Nofisat on Oct. 3rd, a day to the Sallah celebration, from their home at Church street, Lagos Island.

The story:

"I married Aminat in 2010. In order to avoid a crisis at home, I rented an apartment for her at Mosalashi Street, Alakara in Orile. She has only one son for me. His name is Yusuf. She does not come to Church Street, Lagos Island where I live with my first wife.

“What happened was that on the evening of Friday, October 3, when I returned from work- just a day to the Sallah celebrations- I sent the two children to go buy biscuits in front of the street. That was around 7pm. We expected them till around 9pm. I was shocked. I quickly rushed to the Adeniji Adele Police Division, and reported the incident.

“Believe me, I and their mother, Funmilayo, could not sleep all through that night. We were walking around throughout the night from one police division to the other, repeating the same thing. The whole Sallah celebration was a sad one as I looked for my two children. Little did I know that it was my second wife who sneaked into our area to abduct them.”

“The following morning, around 11am, Aminat called me and heard me crying on the phone. I told her that we were looking for Lateef and Nofisat, she simply said, ‘All I know is that no one can kidnap my own son.’ I was shocked at her statement, but I never thought she was the one behind the whole trouble.

“It was six days later when the police arrested her that she then confessed that she committed the act because she claimed I was not taking care of her, and I had not bought sallah clothes for her son, which is not true. She had sneaked to our area, and asked the two kids to follow her to Orile. This is unimaginable for me.”

Funmilayo ,the dead child's mother lamented that: "Aminat killed my daughter. She made us to have a sorrowful Sallah. We were running around police stations. She said she wanted to punish me and my husband because she was having issues with us. So, why did she not come after us, why after my two children?”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident, adding that Aminat was now in police custody. He said,

“Aminat Akanni is the second wife of the complainant. Investigation revealed that the corpse of Nofisat was recovered by the Orile Division in a sudden and unnatural death.

“The suspect confessed to have drowned the child and dropped the corpse at Orile. The case has now been transferred to the Orile Division for further synchronisation and action.”
