Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Adoke SAN, has distanced himself from a congratulatory message to Senator Dino Melaye seen with his name on Facebook.
Adoke’s lawyers, Equity Law Partners, in a terse statement sent to NewsmakersNG, say: “This is to inform the general public and all Facebook users that our client does not own or operate a Facebook account and that the said congratulatory message did not emanate from him.
“Our Client, therefore, calls on the general public and Facebook users to disregard the said Facebook posting in its entirety as it is nothing but the handiwork of fraudsters and mischief makers.
“Our Client has since 2015, when he left public office, maintained a personal policy of refraining from commenting on issues related to Nigerian politics and this has not changed.
“Our client has taken appropriate steps to bring this infraction and illegality to the attention of Facebook for immediate remedial action.”
