Audu Maikori has landed in trouble after he gave false information about students of Kaduna College who he alleged were killed by Fulani herdsmen on Friday, 27 January, 2017. Unfortunately for Maikori this information which was all a lie was fed to him by his driver, Simon Joseph.

This has made Maikori, who had publicized the killings trusting his driver to now tender an apology to Kaduna state governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai over the false tweet that five students of Kaduna state College of Education, Gidan Waya, were killed by Fulani herdsmen.

Trouble started when Audu asked for photo evidence from his driver who claimed his brother was among the victims. The driver had told his boss that he was travelling to Kaduna for his brother's burial but could not provide photos from the burial when Audu questioned him about the ceremony.

After failing to convince Audu with fake photos he was dragged to Lekki Police station where he confesses to his crime after interrogation

The popular socialite and lawyer has now come out to tender a full apology and explained about how he fell for his driver dubious antics


Read below...


"My driver Simon Joseph had travelled to the village to attend his younger brother's burial and on his return on Monday, the 30th of January 2017, I asked him for pictures from the burial, the ID card of his brother and also pictures of the casket so I could submit to the authorities and he told me that he had phone issues so he could not store pictures on his phone. He told me, however, that his sister had the pictures on her phone and I proceeded to give him money to go to Ikeja to get the pictures from his sister, so I could present these to clear my name. He didn’t return till evening, and when he did, it was without the said pictures.

At this point, I began to strongly suspect foul play. I again questioned him about the veracity of his story to which he swore on the bible that his brother was dead and even began to shed tears."

"When we got to the station, he maintained his story about the deaths being real and how he was being blackmailed until the police officers at the station explained to him that he could be arrested. He then confessed and said he was just trying to collect money from me; that he knew that I was involved in the advocacy on the Southern Kaduna crisis and he wanted to ride on that to obtain money from me under the pretext of burial."

"I naively assumed that no one in his right mind would lie about the death of a human being, especially if that person was/is his younger brother.

Consequently, I hereby tender an unreserved and sincere apology to the management of College of Education, Gidan Waya, the governor of Kaduna state, the Kaduna state government, and also to the people of Southern Kaduna and the Fulani community for the false statement by my driver which I also publicized believing same to be true.

"I make this statement with all sense of responsibility realizing that by openly admitting what transpired, people may begin to doubt my credibility and that of my statements in future… this is a risk I am willing to take, but I would rather tell the truth about the situation that suppresses it."
