Alarming Confession of Nanny Who Kidnapped Orekoya Children [Video]

Mary Akinloye, which has turned out not to be her real name, is the nanny who kidnapped the three Orekoya children from their Surulere home in Lagos State last week.

In a new video, she has opened up on her team, which she said consists of her husband, his brother, and the brother's wife, with Mary fronting as a househelp/nanny to kidnap children. The others run the business side of the kidnapping and had collected N2m for the Magodo kidnap, which occurred December last year. The children were later found in Shagamu, read here.

Disturbing! Dead Whale Washes Ashore Lagos Beach, Immediately Butchered [Photos]

In a somewhat disturbing turn of events, an unknown specie of whale which washed ashore at Eleko Beach in Lagos was immediately cut up by locals who intended to eat it.

I say disturbing because no one knows how the whale came to be washed onto the beach. Usually, only sick whales get beached, and without study, no one knows if the diseases that floored the whale could be transmitted to human beings. So people be careful what fish or meat you buy or eat in Lagos this week.

The series kicks off in Lagos, which according to the BBC is a city obsessed with cars, and so the episode set in Lagos features British teens who want to be mechanics.

See photos of the reality show participants below as they fetch water, eat local delicacies, and do the local punishment, 'pick pin'. There's also a video trailer of the complete series.
