The presidency is not yet done with Leadership newspapers
over the publication in the April 3, 2013 edition of the newspaper of a
purported “Bromide of the Presidential Directive” with the logo of the Office
of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which the presidency
described as a forgery.
One month after the federal government dropped its charges
against the newspapers, the federal government’s prosecutor, Chief Adegboyega
Awomolo (SAN), on June 19 filed new charges, comprising 11 counts before an
Abuja High Court.
Included in the charge is a proof of evidence, which
includes a list of witnesses and statements made by the accused persons.The case has been assigned to Justice Usman Musale sitting
at Kubwa Division of the court. Justice Musale granted the prosection leave to
prefer the new charges last Wednesday.
