Actress Foluke Daramola set to drag Bukola Fasuyi to court for libel
According to people close to Foluke, she and some family members have contacted their lawyer to sue Bukola for character assassination. Bukola will soon appear in court to prove that Foluke indeed used diabolical means to obtain Kayode Salako.
Bukola told an Encomium reporter this week that she's not bothered about a lawsuit and is waiting to get the petition from Foluke's lawyers. She said she still feels bad for introducing Foluke to Kayode because the introduction was for Foluke to get financial help from Kayode and not to take him from his wife. "I'm not bothered about a lawsuit though Kayode has sent a threat message to me that we would meet in court. I'm more bothered about Kayode's wife. I hope she forgives me" She said.
LASG seeks dismissal of suit against bridge tolling
Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye
Lagos State Government on Monday asked a Federal High Court in Lagos to dismiss a suit challenging its plan to collect toll on the recently-constructed Lekki-Ikoyi suspension bridge.
The suit was filed by a human rights activist, Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, challenging the legality of construction of a bridge on a federal navigable waterway and seeking to collect toll on same.
At the hearing on Monday, the state Attorney-General, Mr Ade Ipaye, said a preliminary objection had been filed challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear the suit.
He told the court that the applicant’s suit was incompetent and premature since there had yet to be a decision as to whether or not to collect toll on the bridge.

Man jailed 45 years for stealing Aregbesola’s phone
For stealing a N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone belonging to Governor Rauf Aregbesola, a 31-year-old Kelvin Ighodalo has been sentenced to 45-year imprisonment by an Osogbo High Court.
Ighodalo stole the phone from the pocket of Aregbesola on November 27, 2010, when the governor was being inaugurated at Government Technical College, Osogbo.
Justice Oyejide Falola, who heard the case, found Ighodalo guilty on six counts, which included conspiracy, stealing and fraud.
He was sentenced to 10-year imprisonment for the first three counts and five years for each of the last three which included impersonation, obtaining property by falsehood and collusion.
Falola, who ruled that Ighodalo deserved the jail term, held that the convict used the phone to obtain N500, 000 from the Owa of Ilesa, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, while he obtained N200, 000 from Mr Shengen Rahman, an associate of the governor.
The jail term, which Falola pronounced will run concurrently, means that Ighodalo will spend the next 10 years behind bars.
Assistant principal state counsel, Mr Biodun Badiora, told the court that the convict had served six-year imprisonment in Ikoyi prison custody in connection with a murder case in 2005.
Counsel to Ighodalo, Mr. Ameachi Ngwu, prayed the court to commit him to community service, stressing that the convict should not be incarcerated but rather be placed where people could see him as a convict.
