FG arraigns man who accused Fashola of writing judgments for presidential election tribunal

Count one of the charges reads: “That you Ibezim Chike
Victor, male with Jackson Udeh, Nnamdi Emmanuel Ibezim and Reportera.ng (body
corporate) now at large on or about 05/08/2023 at Abuja, did commit an illegal
Act to wit: criminal conspiracy; when you jointly agreed to publish a
defamatory statement of false allegations in your online social media, the
reportera.ng news, against His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, CON,
without justification, you thereby commit offence punishable under Section
27(1)(b) of the Cyber-crime Prohibition, Prevention Act 2015.”

However, Fashola said the allegation was “baseless and
defamatory”.

The former minister described those behind the allegations
as “agents of destabilisation”.
