Ex-Rep Agbonayinma Threatens Legal Action Over Misleading Post

Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, a former member of the House of Representatives and a member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has threatened legal action against Karl Von Batten, also known as Ikemefuna Okeke, over a misleading post on X. Agbonayinma's petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was misrepresented as politically motivated, linking him to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement, Agbonayinma clarified that his actions were personal and aimed at promoting accountability and the rule of law, emphasizing that he does not represent any political party.

He issued a 14-day ultimatum to the EFCC to reopen corruption allegations against Atiku Abubakar, asserting that such allegations should be investigated regardless of political affiliations. Agbonayinma urged the EFCC to conduct a transparent investigation and challenged Atiku's legal team to address the substance of his petition rather than attributing political motives to his actions.
