In a statement by the Minority Leader of the House, Leo Ogor Tuesday, the decision was taken in the interest of the nation. 
 
The caucus of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) may have jettisoned its reported interest in contesting for the position of the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives, it emerged Tuesday. 
 
Following caucus meeting on Monday at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja on Monday, the caucus has directed its members to vote for any aspirant of their choice from the All Progressives Congress (APC) contesting for the positions of the presiding officers of the 9th House. 
 
In a statement by the Minority Leader of the House, Leo Ogor Tuesday, the decision was taken in the interest of the nation.

Ogor said: “While the nation looks forward to the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly, the PDP House Caucus is leaving no stone unturned in furtherance of its resolute determination to proactively decide the final outcome of the ongoing contest for leadership of the House in ways that would ultimately ensure that the people’s will ultimately prevails. 
 
“While we further our unflinching commitment to the principles and ethos of democracy, the PDP House Caucus has endorsed its members’ decision to work with Speakership aspirants from the ruling party, thereby allowing all who feel thus inclined, the freedom to attend all meetings, participate in campaigns, strategy sessions and other activities of any Speakership aspirant of their choice. 
 
“While the PDP House Caucus has taken the decision with clear focus on the national interest as well as the future strategic goals of our party, we are not unaware that a few may, unfortunately, feel inclined to go overboard, nibbling dangerously at carrots dangled before them without adequately heeding appropriate guidelines. 
 
“Nonetheless, such risks have to be taken occasionally as part of sacrifice for the national interest – an overriding consideration for us in our great party. 
 
The caucus also congratulated Nigerian Muslim community on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr celebration, saying, “After the focused and exacting spiritual discipline that the fasting in the holy month of Ramadan entails, it is our fervent wish that the collective supplications to our Almighty Creator over the fate of our nation, the growth of its democracy and welfare of citizens become a reality. 
 
“May good deeds and the virtues of love, tolerance, empathy and other noble attributes of Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.) continue to grow and flourish among the entire populace so that we can all reach out to one another in the true pursuit of peace, unity and progress.”

The more than $267m (£210m) belonging to former Nigerian dictator General Sani Abacha is to be shared between Nigeria, Jersey and the United States. 
 
The money was seized from a Jersey bank account belonging to Abacha. 
 
The money was “derived through corruption” during the presidency of Sani Abacha in the 1990s, according to Jersey’s Civil Asset Recovery Fund. 
 
A shell company called Doraville held the funds, which were frozen in 2014. 
<a id="more" name="more"></a> 
 
It was gathered that after a five-year legal wrangle, the money has now been recovered and will be split between Jersey, the United States and Nigeria. 
 
Jersey’s attorney general, Robert McRae QC, said the seizure “demonstrated [Jersey’s] commitment to tackling international financial crime and money laundering”.

America based Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has expressed her views on the rate of scam in America. Stella who recently featured in her hubby’s film took to her twitter page to express her disappointment. 
 
According to her:” People think Nigeria is filled with scammers right? They have not experienced America. I get more than eight scam calls daily in this country and their methods are high tech.Pls be careful with who you give info to”. 
 
Damasus recently joined the conversation about whether American urban fantasy police procedural comedy-drama television series, Lucifer is good for Christians or not.

Recently, Joshua Bamiloye, the son Christian film producer, Mike Bamiloye criticised the series on Twitter. In his post, he shared. 
 
“There’s a show called LUCIFER. As in the devil o lol. And you, knowing how captivating foreign series can be. You still watch. Now you LOVE the character; Lucifer, like Jack Bauer. And somehow you think, the devil isn’t winning your soul over…” He added. 
 
“That being said, this isn’t to scare us but to remind us to stay vigilant, wise, keeping our hearts and spirit on what glorify God. We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.” 
 
Re-emphasizing his thoughts in her own post, Damasus disclosed that she has banned her kids from watching the series as well as explaining to them why they shouldn’t. According to her,  the information she passed to her children about the film was also passed to their friends. She tweeted, 
 
I had a conversation about this in my house weeks ago. Had to tell kids why they couldn’t watch it in my house or anywhere else. They understood and told their friends too. A clever and subtle way of getting one to get used to him and even admire. I no gree o…”
