This is a statement from UK-based journalist, Lekan Fatodu, who recently filed a petition to the police against Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore. Read below...
I'm dropping this quick note because Sowore violated the idea of reconciliation suggested to the Police by his team of lawyers and supporters led by the elder statesman, Dr. Tunji Abayomi on Thursday. Sowore was at the Panti Police station with about 15 lawyers . I didn't go with any because I didn't need to. I know my case against him is incontrovertible!
It's
however surprising that one of Sowore's lawyers who was part of the
agreement for reconciliation has come out to spew lies and try to twist
the story against the Police. But it won't work because everyone is
aware of Sowore's shady operations.
Sowore
is understandably rattled and bitter that Lekan Fatodu is the FIRST
person to ever confront him for his characteristic threat to people's
life, blackmail and extortionism.
I
had petitioned the police on a threat to my life and career, criminal
defamation and blackmail by Sowore. And that's contrary to the lies
that Sowore has been spreading about an attempt on his life. I will
share the true story of the event of Sowore's arrest with video evidence
in due time. And I bet that the world will be shocked to see what
really happened on that day.
I
knew that Sowore's idea of reconciliation was to "buy" enough time to
cook up some lies to change the narrative on his criminality. Hence, I
agreed to it only to give him the benefit of doubt. But he has since
been using proxies to write different articles in his favour and also
fabricating lies that some people in power are behind me. They've been
churning out many lies but I am not bothered in the least.
I'm
glad myself and Sowore are presently in Nigeria and the court shall
verify the text messages, emails and Whatsapp messages that we exchanged
when he, using different insidious means, demanded 100 million naira
bribe from me out of a fictitious 500 million that he claimed he heard
that I got out of a strange 1.7b naira from the Office of the National
Security Adviser (ONSA). And I will include other strong evidences of
his attempt on my life particularly on the day he was arrested.
Sowore, I'm sure you can't deny the attached Text Message!
Once
again, I am proud of the excellent job I did for the ONSA and for which
I was paid 12 million náírà. Meanwhile, the Presidency under the
leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari has already validated the work
my company, Leeman Communication in different national dailies. And I
won't stop seeking government's contract where my expertise is required.
It's my legal right as a Nigeria!
Of course, Sowore is ashamed and sad that his wicked plot against me didn't work.
And for violating his own idea of reconciliation, I SHALL BE DRAGGING SOWORE TO COURT!
their headache biko.
ReplyDeleteKarma has come to bite Sowore on his ass.

ReplyDeleteGuess the court is the best option since you say you have soft and hard evidence.
ReplyDeleteSowore must not be allowed to leave Nigeria until he is charged and arraigned and the case is heard in court. No reconciliation should be allowed
ReplyDeleteNobody forbade you from going to court. Do you need our consent before going to court. You guys are clowns.
ReplyDeleteSowore baba nla gbogbo won
ReplyDeleteOko iya anybody
All this word banta... Back it up wit evidence if you have.
ReplyDeleteThis thief helps corrupt loliticians launder our money and they are angry because Sowore exposed them....why are they using only Linda Ikeji yo defend themselves because the conventional media knows that Lekan Fatodu is a fraud!!! Linda take note
ReplyDeleteYoruba vs yoruba. where are the elders
ReplyDeleteThis guy called Lekan has been raking too much.This is the path most smart people use often to win many people to their side. Ive not heard anything from Sowore so far. I will not be bias against Sowore as it appears there must be smoke somewhere that Lekan is trying to control before it engulfs to fire. Let us give Sowore a chance.
ReplyDeleteI think Lekan should keep quite for now rather than shouting unnecessary cos truth will come out soon.

Both of them are a bunch of unclean men making money from moneybags and politicians by 'masquerading' as publishers and journalists. They use the masses on social media as backup! God made them fight in order to expose them. Let them end up in court and we shall see who wins. The battle of greed has just begun! Aluta Continua!
