SR: Dr. @doyinokupe problem is that because thieves like you were not punished for stealing via #Dasukigate, you’re now peddling #FakeNews
Doyin Okupe: Hahaha???who is the MASTER of FAKE NEWS. that is the main product of yr irresponsible, lie peddling, cheap blackmailing organisation u run
SR: We blame @Buhari regime incompetents for the backhanded deal they had with you not to PROSECUTE u for stealing in exchange for your silence
Doyin Okupe: another lie. if I had any deal wt govt 2 keep quiet let d Almighty punish me. but if again u lied against me&govt let God’s anger b upon SR
SR: Same God Saw how you stole Rural Road Construction money from Benue and Imo under OBJ from which you spent months in detention under Ribadu
Doyin Okupe: another lie.i left obj’s govt b4 i got d jobs.It was a contract dispute we had. No stealing. a court judgement already said that.we ar in SC
SR: Had @MBuhari people not cut a deal with you in exchange for your silence why did @abati1990 who only took N50m stay more days in jail than u
Doyin Okupe later went on to tweet:
“If the news is fake then I apologise.but no regrets. may be God just wanted to hv a taste of his own pill he regularly dishes out recklessly
“A while ago SR published d picture of a mansion in Abuja and captioned it” the house okupe bought at corruption” yet I hv no house in abuja
“I hope Sowore will learn from this and be more careful in his hatchet jobs and wanton destruction of people’s names and reputation.
“2nite in his defence he gave another bogus lie dat I had a deal wt govt to keep quiet in exchange for freedom. another lie frm d pit of hell”
He added: “I am a serious minded Christian. u don’t need to believe me but the God I serve& worship know who I am. I do not lie & CAN NEVER STEAL.”
