Presidency orders withdrawal of ‘fake news’ press release on NFF President, Pinnick

The Presidency has described as fake news a press release in circulation in the last 24 hours, to the effect that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Amaju Pinnick, the President of Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).

The Presidency in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Mr. Garba Shehu noted that anyone familiar with the President’s unmitigated and unshakable commitment to the due processes of the law would not make such assumptions of the President.

It added that the position of the President that allegations of criminal nature should be addressed only by investigation and law enforcement agencies, within the framework of the law had not changed.

According to the statement,” It is not in the nature of President Buhari to say go and arrest that man or woman as formed the practice in the past rather, he allows all allegations of this nature to be addressed using the mechanism of the rule of law even as law enforcement and investigation agencies should not in any way be hampered in performing their duties”.

The statement however warned that “nobody should drop names to seek to influence the course of those investigations”.
