The governor in a signed statement by the media unit in his office, said the report was false and far from the truth.
The report alleged that the governor son was in a club and drank alcohol.He then allegedly had a fight with someone who had eyes for the lady he was also seeing and that he broke a bottle on the mans head killing him....
The statement on Wednesday signed by Abdurrahman Bundi, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, read: “The Borno State Governor’s media unit‘s attention has been drawn to rumours circulating that the son of the Borno State Governor has been arrested for the alleged murder of some Indian citizen.
“This misinformation was published in an online blog, Nairaland, titled ‘Son of Borno State Governor Murders Someone In India—Politics.’ The blog claimed that the Governor also travelled to India, attempting to use diplomatic status to resolve the matter.
“It is on record that Governor Babagana Zulum was on a one-month vacation in Saudi Arabia for the 2024 Hajj and later travelled to Egypt to attend the annual ASUWAN forum conference in Cairo.
“The Media Unit would like to clarify and set the record straight that N******** and other online blogs have mischievously spread defamatory content without any speck of truth.
“We hereby warn N******d and all those who have spread the false information to pull down this misinformation from its website and platforms within the next 24 hours and offer an unreserved apology to Governor Zulum, his son, and the entire family, or risk legal action.
“The Governor shall also not hesitate to take legal action against any media outlet that continues to publicise this defamatory information on its platform.
“We would like to inform the public that none of Governor’s Zulum’s son was either arrested or charged with any crime, or involved in any unlawful activities anywhere.
“We urge the public to exercise caution when consuming and sharing information, particularly when it comes from unverified sources and blogs instead of credible media outlets.
“We enjoin all media organisations to engage in responsible journalism of truth and factual verification while recognising the potential harm and psychological trauma the spread of false information might have caused to the Governor’s family.”

What could be d smoke leading to this lies? Glad it's false info
ReplyDeleteIt's not false info. He killed a chinese man in india because of a lady. This is not Nigeria where everything is swept under the carpet. Let them continue denying it.
DeleteIt's only sad because the governor is a decent man and shouldn't go through such trauma.
Will they have agreed before? The young man is held in custody for murder. I don't see why me as a parent should cover such evil. No one has the right to take another's life period.
ReplyDeleteHmn...
DeleteAnd what if he is not? You as a parent would still agree he is?
DeleteNa waooo
ReplyDeleteGovernor Son

ReplyDeleteWe don't expect you to agree to the allegations bur no smoke without fire
ReplyDeleteHmmm,okay o🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, murder not even man slaughter
ReplyDeleteIn 2024 anything can be found out with a few keystrokes. If it is true it is always best to say so instead of publicly telling lies. Whatever he was doing in India he had a responsibility to comport himself with dignity, especially since his family is high profile.
ReplyDeleteBut some of you know the bad seeds that you have and are so happy to get them away from you that you forget they can take trouble anywhere they go.
