My attention has been drawn to several publications in the print and social media wherein Ned Nwoko alleged that a plan to assassinate him is being sponsored by me. I also refer to a recent press conference held by the same Ned Nwoko wherein he alleged that the prisoner who told him of the plan to assassinate him has mysteriously died. He also accused me of being responsible for the death of the alleged prisoner/informant. I categorically state again that these allegations are completely false and a figment of Ned Nwoko’s infantile imagination. I have not planned nor sponsored any plot to assassinate Ned Nwoko.

A 42-year-old farmer, Clement Tumba, of Dilchim community, in the Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, has been arraigned before a Yola High Court for allegedly strangling his mother to death.
Tumba, a father of five, allegedly ended the life of his aged mother, Regina Daniel, with a rope.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident followed a dispute over proceeds from the family land.
Tumba told the court, presided over by Justice Helen Tumba, that he acted under provocation.
He said he was angry when his mother advised him to reconcile with his sister, Rebecca, over the sale of the land.
