Former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has disowned a viral lewd video of a young man, purportedly his son, who was spraying hard currencies on women of easy virtue in an adult night club.
Dismissing the video which identified the young man as his son, the former Senate President, who is currently in Washington with Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said the person in the lewd expressions is neither his biological nor adopted son. He said he does not know who the young man is.
A statement signed by the Director General of the Saraki National Media Group, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, described the mis-identification of the character in the lewd video as the handiwork of “sneaky and deluded persons sponsored by certain failed politicians who are scared of the steady rising profile of Dr Saraki as a leading light of democracy locally and internationally.”
Said the statement which was released on Friday in response to the lewd video which made the rounds on Thursday: “What I want to tell you categorically, is that, the individual in that video is neither Saraki’s son nor relation and so, he cannot be his son by any means or in any way.
“Sonship in any family is by consanguinity and birth. In this case, how can someone who’s not even related by blood and was not an adopted child be inserted into a family by rogue media trending?
“I enjoin the media to cross-check their facts or do basic information inquisition to determine facts before rushing to ‘break lies instead of wholesome news.
“This will help to avoid the embarrassing realization that hearsay does not amount to truth, no matter the rumour industry perspectivizations of a blatant falsehood”
Onaiwu urged security agencies to investigate and unmask the perpetrators and sponsors of the cyber-attack on the Saraki family. He also asked the culprits to be prepared for legal redress.
