Sahararporters, in its story earlier this year entitled  ‘Jonathan’s Aide, Omokri burglarizes house in Delta, carts away N25Million meant for buying of votes’, has distanced himself from the report and also denied providing information for the online medium.
Oyoro made this known in his statement of defence at the High Court of Justice, Asaba Division following a suit initiated by Reno Omokri.
‎
In a copy of the statement of defence signed by his counsel, Ovie Abenabe of F.O. Olokor & Co and made available to Vanguard, Oyoro noted that he did not publish through the internet news media www.saharareporters.com any statement with the title “Jonathan’s Aide, Omokri bulgarizes house in Delta, carts away N25 Milion meant for buying of votes”.
‎
He also claimed that he did not authorise, mandate, instruct and/or encourage the internet news media www.saharareporters.com to publish any purported malicious statement about the person of Omokri.
Oyoro added that he doubt the source/origin and authenticity of the report and challenged Omokri to establish the authenticity of same.

Parts of the statement reads, “ the defendant (Alex Oyoro) did not on the 14/02/2015 and/or any other date publish through the internet news media www.saharareporters.com any statement with the title “Jonathan’s Aide, Omokri bulgarizes house in Delta, carts away N25 Milion meant for buying of votes”
“The defendant denies publishing about the person of the claimant (Reno Omokri) any false and malicious statement through the internet news media

‎
Another part of the statement added that “the defendant did not also authorise, mandate, instruct and/or encourage the internet news media www.saharareporters.com to publish any purported malicious statement about the person of the claimant. The source/origin and authenticity of the purported print out referred to in the statement of claim is doubted by the defendant and the claimant is challenged to establish the authenticity of same”.
“The defendant denies the allegation of the claimant that the defendant published defamatory matters against the claimant to blackmail the claimant into abandoning any recovery of premises proceedings.
When contacted, Omokri noted that his lawyers will based on the statement of defence of Alex Oyoro sue saharareporters.com directly and reserves the right to also sue other news outlets that carried the libelous story.
‎
It will be recalled that on February 14, Omokri threatened to drag Saharareporters to court if it fails to publish an apology within three business days over the story while a week later, a New York Law firm Daniel Szalkiewicz & Associates, P.C, engaged by Omokri,   served a Cease and Desist Notice on saharareporters.com and its publisher, Omoyele Sowore . The firm also served the notice on Sowore’s financiers, The Omidyar Network and The Ford Foundation.‎

Since the inception and aftermath of the electioneering season, there has been a dearth of intelligent contribution on most threads on Nairaland.

There has also been an increase of first to comment charlatans on most topic on the politics section.

I came here to read an incisive analysis and argument of the topic of this thread only to see the thread littered by charlatans who have nothing to contribute but want to be heard by all means.

Pls don't like my comment.
*walks out*

Sahara reporters name should be changed to Lie reporters

muchex:

Saharareporters are the most useless, malicious, baseless, and biased reporters ever. Rubbish! Sue them all

Next topic pls

you expect the source to own up, when it's obvious he and his family has been threatened? seriously? no one is that stupid. this is Nigeria, for God's sake. no one will protect him.

Sahara reporters denying news already? If they weren't the once, why didn't they issue a disclaimer after it went viral but waited till it got to court. abi apc has a wing of media they also call sahara reporters? Only God knows how many propaganda will be denied as time goes on.

SaharaReporters them be certified liar. Naso i read say them don withdraw NOI's Honorary Phd only to realise it was still a petition. Lying since 17BC.
