He stated this on his Twitter handle (@dino_melaye) while sharing a copy of a petition he wrote to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Kpotum Idris, calling for an investigation into the alleged crime of cyber-stalling.
It could be recalled that Sahara Reporters published a story on Melaye claiming he forged his Bachelors’ degree certificate in Geography.
In the petition, Melaye named Omoyele Sowore, Temitope Olumuyide, Incorporated Trustee of Sahara Reporters Media Foundation, and Shara Reporters Media Group Inc. as individuals to be investigated and forced to answer to the law for causing to be published a false and vexatious story that “insulted, impaired, harmed, damaged and assassinated” his character.
According to the petition which had been acknowledged by the IGP, the act allegedly committed by the individuals and organizations contravened provisions of section 24(1) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention ETC) Act 2015.
The petition reads in part: “I will like to draw your attention to the recent cyber-stalling acts committed against my person by the following persons and organizations.
1. Omoyele Sowore
2. Temitope Olumuyide
3. Incorporated trustee of Sahara Reporters Media Foundation; and,
4. Sahara Reporters Media Group Inc.
“Sometime this month (March 2017), the above listed individuals and organizations caused certain false and vexatious to be sent by means of electronic communication, computer system and network against me.
“And they rightly know same to be false and that I am a graduate of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.
“This is contrary to section 24(1) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention ETC) Act 2015.
“Subsection states thus: A person who knowingly sends message or other matter by means of computer system or network that:
(b) he knows to be false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill-will, or needless anxiety to another, or causes such a message to be sent, commits such an offence under this Act, and…
“Sir, this act is highly vexatious, an insult, and an attempt to impair, harm, and damage and assassinate my character.
“I, humbly implore you Sir, to use your good office to order the immediate investigation of this act and ensure the said individuals and organizations are made to answer to the law.
“I thank you and convey to you the assurances of my highest esteem.”
Listen man, if what the faculty Dean of ABU wrote was valid, then truly you did not graduate. I am glad that you did say that you have gone to the court. I bet you, your certificate will be revoked. You are one of those disgracing Nigerians locally and abroad. ABU will also be probed. No wonder some universities abroad do not accept or recognize Nigerian certificates. Shame on you!
ReplyDeleteYou also forged your age. IGP, please also investigate his age. At one time or the other he, Dino Melaye must have forged his age. He listed 43 on his wikipedia. And ABU said, he must have been exempted from NYSC due to over age at that time. He claimed he graduated in 1999. He said he's born in 1974. From 1974 to 1999 is only 25 years. Is 25 years above the NYSC age limit? Liar, liar and liar. He also looks more than 43. Collect his human samples and send them to me, I will tell you his age. Nonentity!
Investigative Journalism is not cyber stalking or bullying and whatever Dino Melaye wants to call the action of the media.I hope the police are not stupid and understand the law not to fall for his crap.Sahara Reporters should kindly hand over all evidence put together to the police for Melaye to be investigated further,the Senate is full of questionable and disgraceful characters
