Mr Lekan Fatodu who is presently battling Sahara reporters' publisher over allegations threat to life, defamation of character, blackmail and criminal assault called him out this evening. Mr Fatodu has severally accused Mr Sowore of trying to buy public sympathy by claiming he is being victimised by the government instead of facing the allegations levelled against him. Text from Lekan Fatodu


Yesterday I got a text from the office of the DCP at Panti to come on Thursday at 10 am. My friend, Andre, with whom I narrowly escaped the vicious attack that Sowore and his notorious gang launched on us before he was arrested on the 11th of January 2017 also got the same invitation.
Expectedly Sowore and his gang also got the invitation and he has already made it public. But Sowore, in his usual deceitful style, is trying to deflect attention from the crimes he and his gang have committed, and the resultant case that has been with the police. Rather, he is trying to make infantile accusations and to blackmail high government officials on a case that is CLEARLY between him and myself.
I have said it severally and am repeating it now, I can never be used by anybody as Sowore has claimed in a desperate effort to conceal his shame. He said that I am being backed by Mrs. Buhari, Gov. Fayose, Gov. Wike, Lagos CP, Chief of Army Staff amongst other imaginary personalities because he is in utter shock that I can confront him this way over his crime against me. And that is just because he feels he can destroy either tainted or innocent Nigerians at will - something he can never try in America!
As part of his trick to cover his shame, Sowore has abandoned the secret office he’s putting up at No 13A Isaac John Street GRA, Ikeja, the building where the police got him and his thugs arrested and where he had commanded some of the thugs numbering about 8 men to snatch Andre’s phone because he was recording the shameful scene and they got our car terribly damaged with dangerous weapons that included cutlasses.
Sowore believes that because he’s running an online news platform he can deliberately LIE against and DESTROY innocent people and also make attempts on PEOPLE’s lives without being brought to justice.
He thinks that he will blackmail, threaten and even attempt to kill me, a friend who has been his benefactor for almost 20 years, and he will expect me not to use the law to save my life.
When Sowore was desperately asking me for assistance in London in 2007 2008 when he just started his Saharareporters to assist him with stories which I will use my money to buy gadgets to help him out with, I was the best friend ever in his life.
When Sowore came to London in 2009 for an event and I gave him a special treat he was calling repeatedly when he returned to America to thank me for such a great moment.

When Sowore was desperately asking me for assistance in London in 2008

When he got married in the US, and according to him, he had promised a special honeymoon for his wife in Lagos, I was the one that gave all to assist him. This was their first trip ever to Nigeria as a couple in 2004, I offered my car to Sowore without hesitation throughout his stay and made good financial assistance to make the trip memorable for him and his wife.
I have deliberately concealed Sowore’s wife’s face in this picture out of respect for her dignity.

Unfortunately that is the dignity and decency Sowore will never accord anyone!
In January 2016, when, according to Sowore, some people told him about my contract with a government agency and he said he was ready to “help” me, I turned him down saying that I had completed the project and I didn’t need any help from anywhere. And even though I opened my legitimate dealings to Sowore, he went on to run a malicious, wicked, fake and defamatory story about me because I didn’t succumb to his ridiculous and selfish demands.
So Sowore, this case is between you and I, and if you are not guilty you should stay calm and be ready to defend yourself in court!
We shall meet on Thursday!

From what I gathered, Sowore brought a mutual friend to mediate but later pulled out himself
