A former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has disclosed what one of the accusers of former Lagos Governor, Babatunde Fashola did after he asked security agencies to investigate the allegations against him.
OsunDailyNG recalls that Fashola had filed a petition to the acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, asking for an urgent probe of the allegations that he was involved in drafting the judgment for the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) judges.
The petition reads in part, “The attention of our client has been drawn to a tweet published on Wednesday, 2 August 2023 on micro-blogging site, X [formerly known as Twitter] by one Jackson Ude tweeting under the handle of @jacksonpbn with the headline: EXPOSED: FASHOLA IS WRITING PEPT JUDGEMENT FOR JUDGES.
“It is the position of our Client that the publications by the said Jackson Ude, @yorubasheik, and @ReporteraNew are false in their entirety and have excessively breached the decent fundamentals of public enlightenment that freedom of the press is constitutionally about.”
However, after the reports were filed, Ahmad claimed that one of Fashola accusers identified as @yorubasheikh had deactivated his account.
Speaking via Twitter, he wrote, “Wow. @yorubasheikh, one of the three individuals that lied against former Minister Babatunde Fashola, hurriedly deactivated his account following Fashola’s report to the security agencies.”
