The Counsel to the APC Governorship Candidate in Adamawa and Senator Representing Adamawa Central Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly, Egnr Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, a.k.a Binani has written to the Director-General, Department of State Security Services, DSS, demanding for immediate retraction of false and defamatory viral video, alleging N2 billion bribery against their most Distinguished and Honourable client by a Deputy-Director (Operations) of the security agency whom the letter is also addressed to.
Anachebe and Anachebe, Barristers, Solicitors, Arbitrators, the Counsel to Binani Friday, in a letter to the DSS signed by the Lead Partner, Mr. Benbella Anachebe, SAN said, “we are retained Solicitors to Distinguished Senator Aisha Dahiru Ahmed (BINANI), in other words, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the just concluded 2023 Governorship Election in Adamawa State (herein called “our Client”); on whose instruction we write.
“Our client has drawn our attention to a false, mendacious and vicious viral video depicting your Adamawa State Deputy Director (operations) Halilu Sule who, appearing to be under captivity of some faceless persons, was heard uttering that BRIBE OF TWO BILLION NAIRA was offered by our client BINANI to corruptly influence the outcome of the said Governorship election.
“Our client is deeply embarrassed by the said viral video, which has gravely impugned her high esteem/standing in the society; and totally deny every bit of the spurious allegation though the said viral video fell short of mentioning the recipient(s) of the alleged humongous bribe.
“Howbeit, our firm instructions are to demand an immediate retraction by your said staff, and State Department, being vicariously responsible for his actions in the course of his duty; with a view to clearing our client from the wicked and malicious/disparaging allegation replete with political undertone.
“PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that unless the said allegation is retracted forthwith and the viral video promptly withdrawn from circulation online within 48 hours from the date of service of this letter, we shall be constrained to initiate appropriate legal proceedings against both of you to clear the hard- earned reputation of our highly respected client, who is a serving Senator of the Federal Republic, celebrated Politician/Philanthropist, devout Muslim, beloved Mother and cherished Wife of an eminent Professor.
“A stitch in time saves nine. Very truly”.
