FG Reacts to Obasanjo’s Allegation, Says Only the Guilty Should be Worried

Olusegun Obasanjo

The Federal Government has dismissed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s allegation that the Buhari administration was planning to arrest him on trumped-up charges. It said “only the guilty should be worried.”

Obasanjo had on Friday raised the alarm that the Buhari  administration was plotting to arrest him and keep him in detention indefinitely. The former President said he was informed by “Impeccable security sources” that he had been placed on “their Watch List and that the security of his life cannot be guaranteed.”

Reacting to the former President’s allegation in Lagos on Friday, Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said, “This administration will never engage in a frame-up of innocent citizens. That is neither in the character of President Muhammadu Buhari nor in that of his administration.

Only the guilty should be worried. To paraphrase an African proverb, a man who has no wife cannot lose an in-law to the cold hands of death.”
