Buratai
Ekiti state governor Ayodele Fayose has
been told to withdraw allegations he
made against Chief of Army staff Tukur
Buratai or face a lawsuit.
Nigeriapen reports that rights activist
lawyer Osuagwu Ugochukwu Esq issued
the threat on Friday, December 30
that have passed under Buhari
He said in a statement made available
to journalists in Imo state that Fayose
only made allusions to so-called
property owned by Buratai in Dubai
without trying to prove his allegations
or provide details about how the Army
chief was corrupt.
In the light of these, he said, Fayose now
has seven days to withdraw his
statement or provide credible evidence
of the allegations against Buratai or else
he Ugochukwu would drag him before a
court of law.
He said: “I have watched with dismay on
AIT today how Governor Fayose, without
regard for caution, went wild castigating
General Buratai as being Corrupt.
Fayose merely alluded to an alleged
Dubai property belonging to Buratai’s
spouse without furnishing further details
on how Buratai became Corrupt.
“I am yet to see any evidence presented
by Governor Fayose over his labelling
General Buratai as Corrupt. Or, does
Fayose think he can just malign and
injure the credibility of General Buratai
and go scot free without providing
evidence to substantiate the corruption
allegation?
“Governor fayose fails to realize that he
can be sued civilly in his personal
capacity in Court and can even be invited
,detained and investigated by the Police
for criminal defamation? The
constitutional immunity for the
President, Vice President, Governors and
Deputy Governors only protect them
from prosecution in law court but not
from been investigated.
