Published

on

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, has disowned a statement purportedly issued by him indicating that President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed the location of the abducted Chibok girls and exposed Boko Haram masterminds.

Abati, in a statement on Friday, attributed the press release to fraudsters who he said hacked into his  email account in an attempt to mislead the public at the expense of the credibility of the Jonathan administration.

He condemned what he described as criminal resort to political dirty tricks which seeks to cynically play on national concern and emotions about the Boko Haram insurgency and fate of the abducted Chibok girls.

The statement reads , “All media organisations and persons on my mailing list should kindly disregard the press release purportedly issued by me earlier today titled: PRESIDENT JONATHAN REVEALS LOCATION OF CHIBOK GIRLS AND EXPOSES BOKO HARAM MASTERMINDS.

“No such press release was written or circulated by me. It is clearly the work of fraudsters who have hacked into my email account in an odious attempt to mislead the public at the expense of the credibility of the Jonathan Administration.

“We totally condemn this criminal resort to political dirty tricks which seeks to cynically play on national concern and emotions about the Boko Haram insurgency and fate of the abducted Chibok girls.

“Aspects of the fraudulent press release, such as its incoherence and invitation to click on a  link,  would have alerted discerning persons who are conversant with the style and format  of my press statements to the possibility of skulduggery.

“I find it necessary, however, to  issue this disclaimer for the benefit of the unwary.”
