Peter Mbah Media Office has described the news of the assassination of the Enugu State PDP Guber Flag-bearer, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, which has been making rounds on social media as fake.

A statement made available to our Enugu correspondent and signed by Dan Nwomeh on behalf of the office, referred to the story as “false, wicked and evil”.

The press statement titled “Fake news on the assassination of Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah” urged the masterminds to play politics of moderation and sportsmanship.

It reads “We have been inundated with calls over a fake news in circulation on some social media platforms on the purported assassination of the Enugu State PDP governorship flagbearer, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.

“The story is false, wicked and evil.

“Our investigations indicate that the story was doctored from the video of the unfortunate gruesome assassination of one Dr. Ndubuisi (real name: Professor Samuel Ndubuisi), the Director General of the Science and Equipment Development Institute (SEDI), along the Enugu Port Harcourt expressway, one year ago.

“It is the mere coincidence of “Ndubuisi” in the two names that has been twisted by some devious and malevolent characters to spread unfounded panic and alarm amongst our genuinely concerned teeming supporters and well-wishers in Enugu State and beyond.

“We condemn this wicked, ill-conceived misinformation and urge the masterminds to play politics of moderation and sportsmanship, have the fear of God and develop respect for the sanctity of human life”.
