The family of former Governor of Kogi state, Prince Abubakar Audu, has denied habouring Alhaji Yahaya Bello in their family house at Ogbonicha, Ofu local government.
In a statement signed by Prince Mohammed Abubakar Audu, the family described rumours and publications circulating on social media platforms, suggesting that Bello was hiding in their family house, as total falsehood.
The statement read:
“The attention of Prince Abubakar Audu’s family has been drawn to a spurious and ridiculous rumours and publication circulating across various social media platforms, alleging that the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, is being harboured in our family house at Ogbonocha, Ofu Local Government Area, Kogi State. We wish to inform the public that this claim is entirely false.
“We wish to emphasize that our family house at Ogbonocha serves solely as a private residence for members of the Audu family and is not a sanctuary for any political figure, past or present.
“As custodians of our family’s heritage, we uphold the principles of honesty and integrity that Prince Abubakar Audu embodied throughout his lifetime.
“We urge the public to exercise caution and discernment when encountering such sensationalist claims, recognizing them for what they are: baseless conjecture designed to sow confusion.
“The Audu family remains committed to upholding the truth and preserving the dignity of our late patriarch’s memory.”
