Murder allegation: ‘My father is their target’, Zulum’s son breaks silence

Umara, son of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Thursday, denied allegation of killing someone in India.

The state government had earlier debunked report of the governor’s son’s arrest over the alleged murder.

According to social media reports, Umara, a student at a university in New Delhi, reportedly smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on a Chinese national who showed interest in the same lady with him at a nightclub.

Debunking the reports, Abdurrahman Ahmed Bundi, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Zulum on New Media, in a statement on Wednesday, said none of the governor’s sons “was either arrested or charged with any crime, or involved in any unlawful activities anywhere.”

Bundi urged the public to exercise caution when consuming and sharing information.

The governor’s son on Thursday broke his silence over the viral allegation, describing it as baseless and untrue.

Umara addressed the allegation in a 35 seconds clip posted on the social media.

He reportedly spoke on Thursday at the Government House in Maiduguri.

The governor’s son said his father is the target of those behind the allegation.

“Dear esteemed Nigerians, I am Umara Babagana Umara Zulum, I am here to address damaging falsehood that had been made against me.

“It has come to my notice, a baseless gossip accusation against me saying that I killed someone at nightclub. This is not true. They want to tarnish my father’s name. I have been with my family since two months now, right in Maiduguri,” he said.
