The Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution and respected lawyer, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla, has written to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police requesting the probe of one Bishop Eze Orieke for allegedly spreading rumours of the death of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In the acknowledgment copies of the separate letters, dated November 14, 2018, and addressed to the Director General of the DSS, Mr. Yusuf Bichi, and the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, Obono-Obla, specifically informed the heads of the security agencies in his petitions that Orieke made the false claim with purported documents from the London Bridge Hospital (Regional Medical Laboratory) to back it on the wall of a Facebook group called Ohafia Political Forum.

Copies of the documents, which were allegedly attached to the Facebook post and which Obono-Obla forwarded with his petitions to the security agencies, included a purported death certificate issued by the National Population Commission indicating that Buhari died of cardiac arrest in Abuja on September 19, 2017.

Mr. Obla, who has been very instrumental to the President's fight against corruption, described the act as “ill-motivated, distasteful and made in extreme bad faith,”

The letters read in part, “The said documents are attached herewith for your attention and consideration.

“It is a notorious fact and incontrovertible proof that his excellency, Muhammadu Buhari is not dead but very much alive and kicking.”

He added that the post on Facebook and the documents attached to it by the said Orieke “are fake and calculated to cause panic, disaffection and undermine national security.”

“The act violated the provisions of section 24(1)(a),(b) and (2)(a),(b),(c)(i),(ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition & Prevention etc) Act, 2015.”

Offences under the said provision carry between three to 10 years imprisonment with or without fines ranging between N7m and N15m.

“In the light of the above, I respectfully urge you to investigate this matter,” the anti-corruption czar stated.

Modified, so I'll stop getting stupid mentions for cheap likes.

Some people are saying Freedom of speach and expression. But they have forgotten also that there is limitation to freedom of speech in the constitution too..

If he actually circulate fake death certificate, he has violated freedom of speech and expression. He can be prosecuted

Let them go and fight Boko Haram

But i feel for Aisha and the family a lot - if untrue

This forger want to help Buhari fall into the pit at this critical time.ok

I am sure that Bishop is not going to be around for the election. Incarceration is inevitable for him. Thank God he had no intention of casting any vote. No one can blame PMB for this; Jubril el Sudan gets all the blame.

Whoever used "respected" for Obla!
Is the person aware of the certificate forgery scandal?

He should be investigated and face the music if found guilty to serve as a deterrent to his ilks the IPOB miscreants.

This is getting interesting.
There is more to this

amaniro:
FREEDOM OF speech and EXPRESSION.

Now its the turn of FREEDOM AFTER SPEECH.
Your rights stop where another mans rights start.

amaniro:
FREEDOM OF speech and EXPRESSION.

Shut up

The funny thing is that if Mr Obono-Obla heard that Fulalni killer Herdsmen massacred people anywhere in Nigeria, he wouldn't be writting to the DSS or anyone to come and investigate

But if Obono-Obla heard that someone is posting a fake death certificate of his boss, that when he will remember the DSS office address. That's when he will remember that the job of the Police is to investigate crime.

I will never know how those in government can be so unserious about serious issues and so serious about unimportant things

If actual he did that he shud b dismissed as a bishop with immediate effect. This is one of those self acclaimed men of God that were siphoning Aso rock during Jonathan's regime n are now angry bcoz d pipe has been closed.

Enough said, bishop should prove it or get prosecuted.However when is the government also gonna prosecute Obono-Obla for forging a fake WAEC certificate as this issue have lingered for long

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) yesterday described as “altered and invalid” the results and certificate it allegedly issued to the Chairman, Special Presidential Investigative Panel for the Recovery of Property, Mr Okoi Obono-Obla.

Testifying before the House of Representatives ad hoc Panel investigating Mr Obono-Obla’s alleged forgery, WAEC Registrar, represented by the Deputy Registrar, Mr Femi Ola, said available evidence indicated that the results were “altered” and thus “invalid.”

let see how it will end

Bishop don enter am..


He should come up with his evidence or else J boi will give him the zakizaky treatment

and he is a bishop o?

yes

Next level witchunting fighting opponents and freedom of speech. Spending valuable time and resources pursuing rats.

He deserves to be prosecuted.

You can't be fabricating and spreading malicious content without consequences.

No matter the political affiliation or guise, it's just damn wrong.

The same constitution that guarantees freedom of speech also guarantees prosecution against slanderous contents.

A bishop for that matter. Mshew!

Hate speech

Freedom of speech is not the permission to infringe on others right


kids take note


Circulating someone else's fake death certificate is no longer freedom of speech, but an infringement on the rights of the president.

E don be for this man!


Is the "Bishop" his name or title?

If it's a title then didn't his Bible tell him that

Wisdom is profitable to direct
