The governor’s son, who on Thursday spoke in an about 35-second-long video clip, said the allegation against was targeted at tarnishing his father’s image.

LEADERSHIP recalls that the state government through a statement issued by Abdurrahman Bundi, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Governor Zulum on New Media on Wednesday, had denied the allegation and further threatened legal action against the publishers of the alleged defamatory news against the governor’s son.

According to social media reports, Umar, a student at a university in New Delhi, reportedly smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on a Chinese national who showed interest in the same lady with him at a nightclub.

But, debunking the reports, Bundi said none of the governor’s sons “was either arrested or charged with any crime, or involved in any unlawful activities anywhere.”

“Dear esteemed Nigerians, I am Umar Babagana Umara Zulum, I am here to address damaging falsehood that had been made against me.
