The attention of Majemite Political Vanguard has been drawn to an online Publication over the arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Enugu Zonal Command of 37 suspected internet scammers in Delta State on Thursday July 21, 2022, in different locations at Asaba, the State capital following actionable intelligence on their alleged involvement in cyber-fraud.
In a press statement by Ovie Edomi, head of media and public Communication, Fred Majemite Political Vanguard, Edomi noted that:
“One of the suspects Majemite Simon has been inadvertently linked to the Majemites, a popular name in Delta State politics whereas the suspect is not related to any member of the popular Majemite family in Ughelli, Delta State.”
Furthermore, the media head, Majemite Political Vanguard, who is equally the Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of South South International noted that his clarification has become necessary because the Majemite Political Vanguard of which, Olorogun Barrister Fred Majemite, a Lawyer, two time Commissioner, and grassroots politician is the arrow head and national leader has been indunated with inquiries from home and abroad if the arrested person is related to the popular politician and until recently, a governorship aspirant.
Besides, Edomi stated that: “In this era of new media, people use the social media very widely especially political opponents to engage in character assassination while disseminating untrue stories about their opponents by peddling lies and negative propaganda. For those who may not know, such information could mould their public perception of such personality”.
It would be recalled that the online report stated that 37 suspects were arrested but the Writer of the story chose to use “Majemite” as its headline. No doubt, Who is involved, helps to sell a story, this time, we in the Majemite Political Vanguard must say that the person mentioned in the story has no link or related to our Principal and the general public should not be deceived by the online headline, Edomi stated.
