I think the Guild of Editors or NUJ should sanction the writer of such malicious story. We all know our politicians are corrupt but to circulate lies about them is bad. This will make others to verify the content of their news before publishing

Hope saharareporters will learn from this.

hmmmmmmmmmm,ojoro

M M M: But dere is an atom of truth in every rumor

Which truth?all that one na assumption mummy o kowo je men.

politician:

Nigerians!! Kai!!!

After the newspaper tender an apology and dissociate itself from the news!!!

Atom ko! Neutron ni!!

The hatred for some political group has blinded any form of objectivity!!!

When you have made up your mind to hang a dog, any rope would do!!!

Awon onisokuso!!

Thank you !!! For me, the number of times I have read here the senseless BS that "there is an element of truth in every rumour" is simply a nauseating indicator of the unprincipled characters of some using this forum. So every outrightly wicked and ungodly lie must be viewed as having an element of truth to it? Na wa for some Nigerians.

Everyone going around feigning hypocritical shock at the ALUU killers. As if some , with the way they talk hatefully here, are not capable of similar going by their summary judgement and total lack of fairness towards others. Anyone who is a politician just deserves to be hated blindly and savagely ? Some of us should check the ugliness of our minds .

Apologies rejected

How much is Pmnewsnigeria worth?
What would you expect from a Ratz Newspaper( mind you the word ratz is not local or yoruba) It's a knee bees english used in the early 19's Ratz means cheap or of low quality

kaorama: Hope saharareporters will learn from this.

most sahara reporters news are propaganda and they like exaggerating.. Buh they are mostly truth..

Its evn more annoying dat in dis day when evn primary sch kids in mushin can handle a computer to a reasonable extent,an auto response,which is common to decipher got a so called editorial team of a newspaper confused.Some pple are really determined 2 kp nigeria in d stone age.Glad never read d trash paper.
Mrs Ajimobi shd demand enuf financial compensation to bankcrupt d newspaper,so dat d general poor investigative report in nigeria will b halted.

This is a new way to shut up the whistle blowers of naija journalism. Smh but Pm news why na?? Why una no confirm yur tori before pastin. Anyway let me publish my own story for una "PM News Nigeria files bankrupcy after losing billion naira lawsuit" hehe

How do we believe this apology now,coming from same PM Newspaper ?

Don't forget someone made Alamaesiya's escape possible by disguising as a woman.Still in this same UK

Pm news will have to sell even their computers to pay the lawsuit.

pDude: What do you expect from Poor Man Newspaper?

But that woman don too waka abeg

WHEN WILL NIGERIAN PRESS GUYS START PAINTING NIGERIA GOOD AND STOP LOOKING FOR BLACK NEWS TO WRITE. SHAME ON PM NEWS. MRS AJIMOBI PLEASE TEACH PM A LESSON IN COURT.

Una sabi who owns P.M atleast, partly? Sen.Ojudu of Ekiti A.C.N....go figure ...in-house job..

mo wapa: Una sabi who owns P.M atleast, partly? Sen.Ojudu of Ekiti A.C.N....go figure ...in-house job..

Stop this fallacy. If it truly belongs to Ojudu, would they have come out in their initial report to smear their owners associate? Why didn't other mainstream media report the purported arrest? This Day and Premium Times that also spoke with Met Police and Border Police and they both debunked the claim that she was arrested. If she was truly arrested don't you think the Akala's and other PDP chieftains would have shouted out?
I tire for you o

peckhamboi: you go explain your apology in court.

The best answer. Let them go to the court and apologize. Yeye journalist.

Madam sorry ehn sori

was madam "questioned"? by the Met? a subtle difference exists between being arrested and questioned. Who knows!

after such blasphemies are committed by dis so called 'poor man' news, what gain is recorded as regards sales of their newspapers?

Unfortunately the initial smear campaign is what some folks will ever hear, because it is heartening and convenient to be seen as the truth. Bad news spread way faster.

I believe the case should not be allowed to die, and the legal route should be toed.

peckhamboi: you go explain your apology in court.

+100

Which kyn useless apology be dis.

PM News shall "apologize" with its pocket boot.

After about one hour, pmnewsnigeria.com got a response from the 
Metropolitan Police, that said at the bottom of its query: “Confirmation: Yes”.

In another part of the response, MET said: “Thank you 
for your email. I am sorry, we are unable to disclose any information to you 
under the Data Protection Act.” It was signed by “The Email Office,
Lambeth CCC, Metropolitan Police.”


Pmnewsnigeria.com wrote its report about the ‘confirmation of 
the arrest’ based on this response.
At the point of writing the report, the pmnewsnigeria.com team, interpreted the MET’s “Confirmation : Yes”, as a
 confirmation of the question they had asked, viz: “We are trying to confirm
 whether the story(about Mrs. Ajimobi) is true and whether the MET is planning
 to press a charge”.


Was this where the team went wrong?
Events thereafter appeared to suggest that the e-mail response was a mere auto-response, its standard, robotized and programmed answer to all enquiries.

Lmao! So on the basis of this automatic email, they decided to slander her?

No actual phone conversation with a real person...just a generic email is what they used to decide to publish the article?

Jesus Christ, why is the Nigerian media so useless and unprofessional

So, Mr Globe, Abagworo, etc, where are your own apologies?

Will no loger trust any info posted by PM news, they don't giv surest info. SHAMEFUL

Pains of always being the first to report / comment!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lessons learnt though.

ilugunboy: Buncha of r.etards!!...why not go through the whole process of verification before rushing to press.

[size=28pt]WHAT OF THE IDI-OTS ON NAIRALAND AND OTHER GOSSIP TABLOIDS AND LIARS BLOGS WHO SPREAD THE FAKE RUMORS?[/size]

I support this notion too. This is not sentiments, it is about sanity and sancity of our collective well being. How do you gather the broken and scattered egg? How do you delete all the viral spread of this false information. If the damages will cause them to sell off PM News, let it serve as a deterrent to others, else I can collect money from some unscrupulus character to destroy someones reputition only to offer lame appologies later on.

peckhamboi: you go explain your apology in court.

@ Oga_doctokwus,

You can't imagine the depth Nigeria press has sunk to lately. when OBJ told us he doesn't read Nigerian newspaper, we cricified him. when Fashola told Sowore and his crew that he doesn't rea Sahara Reporters, the guy went online the next hour to reign all sorts of indirect insults on him. My MD tells us he doen't talk to Nigerian press, infact Thisday is banned in my office for any advert placement or any media collaboration.

May of these people have been so unproffessional and personal in many instances. Channels new carrying the death of Yar'Adua while the guy was still alive, now claiming the mistake came from a news agency they subscribed to. ThisDay and The Nation furnishing us with questionable surveys prior to Ondo elections just to help tacitly campaign for candidates of their choices......

With PM's lame excuse, it's all balderdash. Everybody knows an auto responder when they see one, how come a whole editorial team don't

Please OYO STATE GOVERNMENT, REJECT THIS APOLOGY and PROCEED WITH THE LITIGATION. It is not for Oyo State or Mrs. Ajimobi alone. It is for sanity in our system.

doctokwus: Its evn more annoying dat in dis day when evn primary sch kids in mushin can handle a computer to a reasonable extent,an auto response,which is common to decipher got a so called editorial team of a newspaper confused.Some pple are really determined 2 kp nigeria in d stone age.Glad never read d trash paper.

@ Oga Wizeboy,

The question leads to other pertinent questions
1. Why are we so poor in researchin even on NL, that we regurgitate lots of questionable and dumb ascerssions and argue blindly and stu.pidly
2. Why have we been so lazy that we believe and perpertuate lies and falsehood before thinking thru it. A NLer on the earlier on that thread punctured the report with a simple analysis on the alleged travel frequency of Mrs. Ajimobi. That for the ascerssion to be true, Mrs. Ajimobi must have been travelling to London everyweekend at least- which is ridiculous, but many thoughtless NLers still went ahead with the jaundiced view of "there is an element of truth in every rumour"
3. Why do we get on unnecessary frenzy when with opportunity to pry into people's private lives and do damage.

Wizeboy: Hmmmmmm.... Why are we so poor in researching to get an authentic information/report on a subject matter before broadcasting it, in this part of the world.

I am not surprise by the unprofessional attitude of PM News, if the whole Presidency who should have accurate and first hand information can non-challantly lifted a false information about the Corruption Index in Nigeria without verification before reading it to Nigerian and International world on October 1st, what more should we expect.

In a sane country, the paper will automatically lost its credibility, I am sure before tomorrow, many Nigerians will still believe blindly in the information that will be pass out by the same media company. May God save us in this part of the world.

Investigative Journalism my foot. They do nothing. They simply go online and replicate news. Sports Journalist are my major culprits since the 90s. When they carry allege transfer rumours like "JJ Okocha about to be signed by Chelsea" and days later Chelsea will deny ever having any discussion with any agent or any party.....

take dat: If she was truly arrested, EFCC and Nigeria High Commission in the UK would have confirmed it.
This is a case of investigative journalism gone sour
