This is the apology and the statements that got him into trouble.

Ejike Ofoegbu @Ejikeofoegbu1

PUBLIC APOLOGY AND FULL RETRACTION

My name is Ejike Ofoegbu Experience, the owner and publisher of Igbo Times Magazine and INews.

I wish to offer my deepest and most sincere apology to Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor of Anambra State, his family, and the general public.

I publicly admit that the stories I published concerning Governor Soludo and his son were completely fake, false, fabricated, and untrue. They did not come from Governor Soludo, his son, his family, or any official representative. They were not based on any verified facts or credible source, and they should never have been presented as news.

The false posts I published included:

* “Breaking News: ‘I will arrest anyone who calls Ozo my son. He is not my son. I disowned him years ago, and he is no longer a member of the Soludo family.’”

* “Just In: I Don’t Take Advice From My Father. He Was a Drunkard Who Beat My Mom When I Was Young. His Treatment of My Mother Made Me Decide Never to Take Advice From Him — ‘Soludo’s Son’ Speaks Out.”

* “Breaking News: ‘I ordered Ozo from Temu. He is Chinese-made, not my son. Even at the hospital when he was born, I asked the doctor, ‘I hope you didn’t accidentally exchange my real son.’ Ozo is from Temu,’ Soludo jokingly told reporters.”

* “Breaking News: ‘They should organize a drinking competition between my father and Wike. I just want to see something. I’m willing to bet my life that my father would win. People don’t understand his drinking capacity.’ — Ozo.”

I state clearly and without reservation that every one of the statements above was fake. They should not be regarded as factual reports or genuine quotations. I take full responsibility for publishing them.

I also wish to acknowledge that the false posts listed above were not the only fabricated stories I published about Governor Soludo. Among other posts on Igbo Times Magazine and INews, I also published false and misleading stories involving Governor Soludo and Mr. Peter Obi, including claims that Mr. Peter Obi would defeat Governor Soludo in an election. Those stories were also completely false, were not based on any verified facts, and should never have been published.

I sincerely admit that I published such stories in pursuit of online traffic, audience engagement, and financial gain. I now realize that no amount of money or online attention can justify spreading false information or damaging another person’s reputation. I deeply regret my actions and accept full responsibility for everything I published.

I deeply regret the embarrassment, reputational harm, and misunderstanding these fabricated stories may have caused to Governor Soludo, his family, his associates, and members of the public.

To Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, I respectfully and humbly ask for your forgiveness. I sincerely apologize for my actions and for publishing information that was false.

I also apologize to the people of Anambra State, readers of Igbo Times Magazine and INews, and everyone who may have seen or shared these false publications. I am committed to correcting this mistake and ensuring that such an incident does not happen again.

This statement serves as my full and unconditional retraction of those publications. They were false, fabricated, and should be disregarded in their entirety.

Once again, I sincerely ask Governor Soludo, his family, and the general public to forgive me.

Signed

Ejike Ofoegbu Experience

EXCELLENT!

Fake News is TOO MUCH.
They have made it IMPOSSIBLE to trust news media.

This one even took it to the NEXT level.
What he did to Soludo is CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

Let him MARINATE in jail for some time.

Plus, I read he has previously been JAILED for about 2 years in the past for spreading FAKE NEWS.
So the Judge would consider that RECORD when passing his new sentence.

By the way, it's HILARIOUS how the CRIMINAL presents the demeanour of an INNOCENT victim in the pictures.

A 2 years prison sentence should be appropriate. About time the court start handling these liars and propagandist with iron hand. A good example should be made out of this guy.

E.J. @Enwagboso

Obidients were having a field day with that post, spreading it like wildfire just because they hold a grudge against @CCSoludo over his letter.

Unbelievable.

E.J. @Enwagboso

@CCSoludo thank you.

Fake news must be stopped. There is a camp that enjoy it, mostly against CCS. I hope the camp learns.

That retraction video nailed him already, unless his lawyer can prove it's under duress.

What he did is despicable, and no one should call this a witch-hunt.

The politicians he probably work for wil help him beg Soludo

It's an admission of GUILT.

The CRIMINAL probably thought his halfhearted apology that is essentially a weak form of "my bad, bro" would save him from the CONSEQUENCES of his criminality.

Instead, the video and written apologies will become Exhibits A and B in his PROSECUTION.

Dude has FAed, he's about to FO.

Hand don touch the Obidient defamer. Na so una go go down one by one.
Just see how haggard he looks, to think there are many like him here on NL calling their betters hungry and broke, is why people say social media is a leveler
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by voortrekker966: 12:04pm On Jul 13
Lock him up to set hard examples to others. The internet let a lot of lunatics out.
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by DjAndroid: 12:04pm On Jul 13
This guy should be jailed to serve as a pointer to other purveyors of fake news.

I am from Anambra, Soludo is working no doubt but I do not align with his political views.
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by Emeskhalifa(m): 12:05pm On Jul 13
Person go sit down, use hin own cause trouble for himself. Let him enjoy his watery beans.

The mob like group that were supporting him, where are they now? Na hin innocent relatives wey he probably never cared about go dey run up and down to see that he gets released.
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by LibertyRep: 12:05pm On Jul 13
My position exactly.

Unless his lawyer is able to flip it.

Or the governor decides to let go

So the post of him disowning his son was fake news and to think that a lot of people believed it.
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by Ibadanfarmroad: 12:06pm On Jul 13

Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by GloriousGbola: 12:13pm On Jul 13
I thought the obidient geng would have crowd funded a lawyer for this guy.


Or those performative firebrands would be doing pro bono defense for the guy.

Every other day some obidients come to sm to make noise that they have gotten the current noisemaker of interest a scholarship or a job or a visa.

All those who were sharing the obviously fake news have now left the guy to his fate. Same people who were cheering him on as he was posting falsehood for clout.

Let that be a lesson about reality.

Otele why did Obi sue Keneth okonkwo?
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by zoedew: 12:16pm On Jul 13
Trying hard to conceal the handcuffs on his hands. He will learn the hard way.
Re: Ejike Ofoegbu Appears In Court Charged With Criminally Defaming Governor Soludo by alobright17(m): 12:17pm On Jul 13
The reason you’ve never seen justice for that dude is because Obi is also suing Keneth okonkwo for the same defamation and falsehood., if not they would’ve flooded the page with justice for Ofoegbu and freedom of speech.

Obi people are cruel .
