How Kashamu Saved Ex-president Obasanjo From Food Poisoning by Shegman22(m): 9:30am On Jun 17, 2015
http://lindaikeji..com/2015/06/how-kashamu-saved-ex-president-obasanjo.html This is a press statement. Read below...
Policemen from Zone 2 command, Onikan, Lagos, have
arrested two persons who allegedly posed as daughter to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo and an intelligence
officer respectively, to Senator Buruji Kashamu, with a plan
to poison the former President.
The suspects identified as Peter Uwakala and Victoria
Alaegbu, it was gathered, were arrested following a
complaint by Kashamu at Zone 2, last month.
The suspects, it was gathered, met with Kashamu at a hotel
in Victoria Island, Lagos, on May 8, 2015,where they
allegedly called the former presidents unprintable names
and offered to poison him. In response to the complaint
lodged by Kashamu, the command reportedly swung into
action and arrested the suspects.
According to a police report obtained by our correspondent:
“The fact of the case was that the complainant alleged in his
verbal complaint that the duo of Peter Uwakala and Victoria
Alaegbu falsely represented themselves as an intelligence
officer and daughter to the former President Obasanjo
respectively to him under the pretence that they were going
to resolve the political rift between him and Obasanjo.
“He stressed that the duo met with him at a hotel, where the
latter who had collected N500,000 from his younger brother,
made some uncomplimentary and derogatory remarks
about the former president, while the former introduced
herself as Yetunde Obsandjo to him. He added that he had
to report to the police upon his suspicion of foul play by the
suspects. “Investigation conducted revealed that the duo
were impersonators.
From the foregoing, it was established that both Peter
Uwakala and Victoria Alaegbu actually committed the
offences alleged by the complainant and have been charged
accordingly in line with the prescription of the law.
“The suspects were arraigned before Chief Magistrate
Adeola Adedayo at the Igbosere Magistrate Court, Lagos on
June 5, 2015 and were remanded at Kirikiri Prisons. The
matter was adjourned to July 31, 2015.” It was gathered
that Kashamu's gesture of reporting the matter to the police
in spite of their political differences made Obasanjo to say
he had forgiven Kashamu of any grudge he had against him.
It was gathered that the rapprochement led to Kashamu
withdrawing the N20billion libel suit against Obasanjo.

Obasanjo is infamous for having selective amnesia...or at least he pretends to.
