Barr. Valentine Obienyem, Special Adviser to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2019 elections, Mr Peter Obi, has dismissed as fake news, reports that his principal has secured a court injunction to stop the probe of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
“Kindly disregard the news as fake. There is absolutely no truth in the news,” Obienyem said on in a statement on Friday.
He noted that “Mr. Peter Obi is not SARS and could not have secured any injunction in a matter where he has no locus.”
Obienyem pointed out that “it is SARS and not Peter Obi that is being probed”, adding: “It is only enemies of progress that try relentless to link Obi to the probe that he is not part of.”
