MaguGate: if you have nothing to hide, go to court, stop making empty threat – Fayose tells Falana

Former Governor of Ekiti state Ayodele Fayose, has asked human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) to go to court instead of making empty threat about the allegation leveled against him which was published by NAN.

Recall that Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) , has denied receiving N28m from the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Mr Ibrahim Magu , who is being investigated for corruption allegations by a special presidential panel .

Falana , in a pre -action letter signed by his lawyer , Adeyinka Olumide -Fusika (SAN) , demanded a retraction of the claim by a newspaper which published the online story .

But Mr. Fayose believes that if the SAN does not have any skeleton in his cupboard, he should go to court and clear his name. Fayose stated this on his official Twitter handle. The statement reads:

“If there is nothing to hide, why is Femi Falana threatening instead of simply going to court? Isn’t this alleged link to Magu another opportunity for him to go to court and clear his name? Methinks his likes should stop carrying on as if they are saints and untouchables.

“My counsel to Falana is that he should stop making empty threats and go to court”.
