The Presidency has denied issuing any
statement claiming that President
Goodluck Jonathan has revealed the
location of the abducted Chibok girls and
exposes Boko Haram masterminds.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media
and Publicity to the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, said
his (Abati) e-mail account was hacked and that he did
not issue such statement.
According to him, the false statement was meant to
mislead the public.
The statement reads: “All media organisations and
persons on my mailing list should kindly disregard
the press release purportedly issued by me earlier
today titled: PRESIDENT JONATHAN REVEALS
LOCATION OF CHIBOK GIRLS AND EXPOSES BOKO
HARAM MASTERMINDS.”
“No such press release was written or circulated by
me. It is clearly the work of fraudsters who have
hacked into my email account in an odious attempt
to mislead the public at the expense of the
credibility of the Jonathan Administration.”
“We totally condemn this criminal resort to political
dirty tricks which seeks to cynically play on national
concern and emotions about the Boko Haram
insurgency and fate of the abducted Chibok girls.”
“Aspects of the fraudulent press release, such as its
incoherence and invitation to click on a link, would
have alerted discerning persons who are conversant
with the style and format of my press statements to
the possibility of skulduggery.”
“I find it necessary, however, to issue this disclaimer
for the benefit of the unwary.”
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
