The police are accusing HEDA Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, of criminal conspiracy, defamation and cyberstalking, an allegation...
have submitted a case file to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, recommending the prosecution of Olanrewaju Suraju, the Chairman of HEDA, an anti-corruption organisation.
The police recently said a report accusing Mr Suraju of peddling falsehood against a former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, is not fake.But a top official of the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit, the police unit who issued the document, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that the document was produced by the leadership of his team.
Mr Adoke, one of those the EFCC is prosecuting for alleged fraud in connection with the OPL 245 saga, popularly referred to as the Malabu scandal, had petitioned the police accusing some unnamed persons of circulating fabricated evidence against him to unduly incriminate him. The former attorney-general said an e-mail submitted to a court in Italy was never written by him as claimed just like the tape of a purported interview he granted an Italian journalist.
