Reports of petitions against me is false and mischievous – Dakuku Peterside warns

The Immediate past Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside says a list of purported petitions against him is mischievous and fake, adding that it is a mere attempt to blackmail his person.

A statement Dr. Peterside’s media team said: “The attention of the media office of Dr Dakuku Peterside has been drawn to an offensive, mischievous and unsigned post making the rounds in the social media containing a list of purported petitions by unknown persons against Dr Dakuku Peterside. Having carefully read through the post in its entirety, all the issues raised therein are manifestly false and mere figments of the imagination of those who concocted them ostensibly for the insidious purpose of embarrassing and maligning the sterling personage of Dr Dakuku Peterside.

“A stern warning is hereby given that anyone who posts or circulates the aforementioned falsehood, having been clearly notified that the contents of that post are false, stands the risk of being prosecuted under relevant defamation laws of Nigeria,” the statement read.
