Following Monday’s confirmation by the Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, that Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye graduated from the institution, the lawmaker released a video to taunt his critics, vowing that they will suffer irreparably.
In the video, the senator was seen dancing and making gestures indicating his defamers had been disgraced.
Watch the video:
In a related development, the senator has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) against Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters, alleging “cyberstalking”.
According to the Cybercrimes Act, 2015, any person found guilty of cyberstalking is liable to pay a fine of not more than N7 million or imprisonment for a term of not more than three years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
Sahara Reporters had run a series of reports in which it alleged that Melaye did not graduate from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria.
In the petition dated 24 March, Melaye accused Sahara Reporters of libel.
“Sometime this month (March 2017), the above listed individuals and organisations caused certain false and vexatious information to be sent by means of electronic communications, computer systems and network against my person that I did not graduate from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria,” he alleged.
