The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has withdrawn the case of cyberstalking he filed against a Bayelsa born blogger and owner of Naijalivetv, Mr. Saint Miepamo-Onitsha after he later begged the governor for forgiveness.

It could be recalled that Mienpamo through his online platform allegedly accused Governor Yahaya Bello of spending a whopping sum of N7 billion on a makeshift COVID-19 isolation centre which was later blown off by wind sometime in 2020.

The said publication generated a lot of controversy which led to the arrest of the blogger by the Department of State Security (DSS) and his subsequent arraignment at the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital.

     

Speaking at the premises of the court shortly after the suit was withdrawn and struck out by Justice Abimbola Awogboro, Saint Miepamo said he decided to apologise and plead with Governor Bello to withdraw the case on realizing that his publication lacked facts.
