Do you think any reasonable person will believe it?
That was the first reaction of former Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, when NewsmakersNG asked him about the ownership of a photographed magnificent estate in circulation on social media, which is being linked to him.
He sent a terse statement to NewsmakersNG explaining all he knows about the mansion said to have been built in Iyamho area of Edo State with a police station opposite it and a mobile police unit beside it for protection.
He stated: “Just imagine how they abuse social media to slander? Imagine to what malicious, wicked and criminal extent some people can go to defame other person’s character. The picture here is a mansion in Los Angeles USA and it belongs to famous Hip Hop musician Dr. Dre. He bought it from Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady. But one demented and frustrated Nigerian named Ralph Odua, who lives in USA, knowingly and intentionally posted this image on Edo Political Forum and claimed the mansion is located in Iyamoh Edo State and that it belongs to ex-governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“Since then other persons have shared it in other social media platforms with different captions but all indicating that it is located in Iyamoh, Edo State. Are we that gullible to accept this criminal defamation of someone’s name as normal? Incidentally many of those who believe this thrash posted by a sick Ralph Odua are people who use social media. I challenge anyone reading this post to simply go to Google and type Dr. Dre’s mansion in the search column. The result will show the mansion below which a mad man named Ralph Odua claims is located in Iyamoh, Edo State and owned by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.”
