NIMASA Petitions: Dakuku Threatens To Respond With Libel Suits

The director-general of the Nigerian Maritime and Safety Administration, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside has threatened serious consequences against social media purveyors who publish defamatory allegations against him.

In a statement following his alleged exit from the agency next Tuesday, Dakuku alleged that the circulation of what he claimed as petitions alleging wrongdoings supposedly by him which he alleged as fake will receive the response of the nation’s defamation laws.

He said:
“The attention of the media office of Dr. Dakuku Peterside has been drawn to an offensive, mischievous and unsigned post making the rounds in the social media containing a list of purported petitions by unknown persons against Dr. Dakuku Peterside.

“Having carefully read through the post in its entirety, all the issues raised therein are manifestly false and mere figments of the imagination of those who concocted them ostensibly for the insidious purpose of embarrassing and maligning the sterling personage of Dr. Dakuku Peterside.

“A stern warning is hereby given that anyone who posts or circulates the aforementioned falsehood, having been clearly notified that the contents of that post are false, stands the risk of being prosecuted under relevant defamation laws of Nigeria.

“IT IS FAKE NEWS!”
