Arewa Group Debunks Report Calling For Arrest Of Dele Momodu

.... Says story is news from the pit of hell.

"The agenda of this shadowy group, which is bent on ridiculing the image and integrity of our  National President, is to score cheap political points".

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has described as "fake, malicious and injurious fabrication", the news making the rounds in some online media platforms that its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima has demanded for the arrest or famous columnist and publisher, Dele Momodu for interviewing IPOB's Nnamdi Kanu.

In a media statement issued by the group on Sunday, the AYCF said that "those spreading the fake news against our National Chairman have been doing so for quite some months now and we are sure it is all politically-motivated and targeted at the good name our leader has built for decades as a fearless democrat".

The group noted that "the agenda of this shadowy group, which is bent on ridiculing the image and integrity of our  National President, is to score cheap political points".

Legal Adviser of the group, Barrister Liman, who signed the statement said he has already consulted widely with his associates on how best to take legal action against the group, once ongoing investigations were completed.

The group then noted: "The AYCF's National President; our own vocal Shettima Yerima has been one of the leading lights in the advocacy for restructuring and good governance. He has also been an advocate of peace and dialogue and we wish to warn his detractors that their campaign of calumny will never change that".
