The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, on Monday raised alarm over plans by some unnamed persons to release a doctored video against him.
Pantami’s media aide, Uwa Suleiman disclosed this in a statement in Abuja, adding that the move was the next stage of the forces against him.
“We are in receipt of credible intelligence that the same forces, who have been championing a well-coordinated and richly funded campaign against Pantami, are now unto the next stage of their diabolic project.
“This time round, the forces of evil are shopping for willing partners as well as their usual avenues to release doctored videos purporting to show the minister in an alleged compromising condition as a way of creating injury on his image.
“We are least surprised by this recent move which is a clear intensification of their desperation, having failed in their assault on the personality of the minister, despite their previous efforts.”
According to him, the notice was to alert the public on the latest plan and to warn the perpetrators about the consequences of such action.
The statement indicated that the minister would not sit idly to see his reputation as a community leader, Islamic scholar and public servant being muddled in the mud by paid agents.
