The Federal Government has filed charges against Chairman of the Human and Environmental Development Agenda,HEDA Mr. Olarenwaju Suraju, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on alleged cyberstalking of former Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke.
Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, in a four count charge as filled in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/370/2021, accused Suraju of using his social media handles as well as emails and audio interview to circulate false information on Adoke.
Adoke had petitioned the Police over the circulation of what he described as forged email and stage-managed phone conversation aimed at roping him in the OPL 245 trial in Italy. He stated in the petition that the circulated fake tape was an interview he purportedly had with an Italian journalist admitting that the Malabu transaction was a scam.
The lead prosecution counsel, Mr. A.O. Shaibu, said HEDA boss’s alleged action violates section 24 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015, adding that it was done with the intention “to insult and dent the image of Mohammed Adoke”.
He informed that an Italian court had since dismissed allegations of corruption in the OPL 245 deal while the prosecutors were being investigated over alleged falsification and manipulation of evidence.
