Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum and his predecessor, Senator Kashim Shettima, did not know the residence of embattled DCP Abba Kyari, let alone visit him.
A statement by Zulum’s spokesperson Malam Isa Gusau on Wednesday said the clarification became necessary since Kyari who promised to made the clarification himself failed to do so more than four hours after he made the promise.
Gusau said a video in circulation was recorded by some associates of the suspended police officer at the residence of Senator Shettima in Abuja on June 30, 2021, when Abba Kyari paid an empathy visit to Shettima following mischievous circulation of rumours that the former governor had died in the UK.
He said Kyari himself had shared the same video on his verified facebook wall on June 30, shortly after he visited Shettima.
Kyari who hails from Borno State and from Shettima’s constituency visited the former governor to wish him well like many others had visited the Senator during the time.
Gusau released a video of some sympathizers who had also visited the senator the same period, which showed the Shettima receiving them in his house, the same place being described as Kyari’s house.
The spokesperson also pointed observers to take note of the TV behind Zulum and Abba Kyari with a CNN breaking news on the release of American Comedian actor, Bill Cosby, which, as can be verified by anyone online, happened on June 30, 2021.
He said he had called on embattled Kyari to issue a similar clarification as he had promised when the he drew his attention to the misrepresentation given the fact it was Kyari himself who took that video and released it on his Facebook page on June 30, 2021.
