Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday expressed readiness to set aside his constitutional immunity to face a thorough probe on several allegations he describes as, “defamatory and misleading.”
Osinbajo communicated this intention via his official Twitter handle @profOsinbajo, Wednesday afternoon.
The statement reads:“In the past few days, a spate of reckless and malicious falsehoods have been peddled in the media against me by a group of malicious individuals.
“The defamatory and misleading assertions invented by this clique had mostly been making the social media rounds anonymously.
“I have today instructed the commencement of legal action against two individuals, one Timi Frank and another Katch Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods.
“I will waive my constitutional immunity to enable the most robust adjudication of these claims of libel and malicious falsehood.”
