BRIBE ALLEGATIONS! You must provide proof of your accusations or you will go to jail, Banky W tells accuser
Nigerian singer, Banky W, has threatened to sue one Shalom Miriam Shehu who claimed that his company got a contract of N57 million through Mr. Abubakar Ahmed to promote Buhari.
The singer said the story is not only completely false but it’s also pitiful that such unfounded claims could generate hundreds of retweets and believes from “gullible” Nigerians who do not care for the truth.
In a disclaimer on his Twitter handle, Banky W said he has alerted his lawyers, and sent screenshots of the latest lies and slander against him.

The singer also forwarned the accuser of the dire consequences of dragging his name in the mud saying that “you must provide proof of your accusations or you will go to jail
This is coming after his wife, Adesua had empathetically said Banky has never collected a dime to support Buhari and there is nothing to substantiate what she had written on Twitter.
The actress in a tweet thread released on her Twitter page blatantly refuted the claims and wondered what @MiriamShehu stands to gain by peddling such rumours against their person and image.

WuzupNaja had reported that Banky W said that the Independent National Electoral Commission misspelt his name and assigned a wrong logo on his party’s ballot paper for the forthcoming general elections.
Banky wrote;
“Someone can tweet “Banky W has collected 57 million contract to do PR for Buhari” and get hundreds of retweets/believers in a few mins, without anyone actually bothering to ask for proof. It is COMPLETELY false, but noone cares for the truth.
“I can’t spend time engaging in a Twitter war with people who clearly don’t care about facts and truth, and prefer to push slander and lies because it makes for juicy news, regardless of who they need to drag in the dirt.
“I’ve called my lawyers, and sent screenshots of the latest lies and slander used against me. I hope the people who posted them are prepared to provide PROOF in court. Shey you have dragged my name in the mud again, you MUST provide proof of your accusations or you will go to jail.
“Instead of us to focus on infiltrating government at multiple levels, build capacity and open the door for more credible candidates to do the same, we want to hurl insults and lies at each other online on behalf of the very same leaders that have rubbished ALL of us. Shame.
“We are angry and frustrated at the people in power so we attack any and everyone else blindly, regardless of how completely false and outrageous it is. Classic case of “a lie travels halfway across the world before the truth has a chance to put on its shoes”.
“I’m in an uphill battle, going up against the two major parties, but I believe it is one worth fighting. We need to infiltrate Govt at the community level, & build capacity. I hope to inspire others to do the same. The problem is from the top but the solution is from the bottom.”

it is happening that way because we allowed it, if few people are punished, others will adjust. If she has a proof she should show it.

This is not “criticism’ but a clear case of “DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER”, should the accuser have no proof of his/her allegations.
