A contestant to the position of Chief Security Officer of Kono community in Khana LGA of Rivers State,Mr Michael Deegbara Naabor who was disqualified from contesting the election on basis of being a Rapist in a leaked memo by the local Government Authority has denied the allegation.
Our reporter cited a leaked memo dated December 22,2022 where the Secretary of Khana LGA, Mr Israel Yeekpa Claudius on behalf of the executive Chairman of the Council, Thomas Bariere in a letter to the Paramount Ruler of Kono disqualified Mr. Naabor, Mr Victor Nwieenu and one other for being a rapist and cultists respectively.
The Khana LGA in the leaked memo told the community to forward three other names for security profiling after disqualifying three out of the initial five names forwarded to the council while stating that a new date for election will be communicated to the traditional institution in the community.
Mr Naabor, however in an interview with our reporter said the LGA lied against him while challenging the Council Authority to provide report by Police and any other security agency where he was indicted for rape or court judgement which convicted him for rape.
Mr Naabor further stated that it was tactics deployed by some highly placed persons in the LGA to dent his image .
He urged the general public to discountenance the information in the leaked memo alleging that he is a rapist.
Mr added that he is a gentleman to the core that cannot perpetrate violence against his fellow men let alone women.
Recall that Mr Victor Nwieenu not cleared for being a cultist in the leaked memo has also denied the allegation.
