The Chief Executive Officer of Obimzy Records and Properties, Abel Egbarin (popularly known as Abu Abel) has distanced himself from the news making rounds that he declared war on some cult members for threatening him.
Abel in a statement issued on Saturday noted that he did not have the capacity to declare war on anyone.
He said it is the function of security agencies to maintain law and order and not him.
Abel however cautioned people attempting to pitch him against some cult members.
He urged the rumor mongers to find something meaningful to do with their time to contribute to the development of society.
Abel said: “It’s quite worrisome to see that some people could channel time, audio funds, and other resources to instigate crimes.”
The record label boss noted that the unknown people circulating this slander went too far by adding his name and claimed that he pledged to reward anybody that can kill someone.
Abel, therefore, warned the evil perpetrators.
He said: “The entire public is advised to disregard that viral message as such will never be from me. I will never sponsor murder in my life.”
Abel also made it known that the phone number attached to the campaign of calumny against him doesn’t belong to him.
Abel had earlier petitioned the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State through his lawyer.
He alleged conspiracy, a threat to life, criminal breach of peace, cyber harassment, and impersonation by unknown persons suspected to be members of confraternity and their cohorts.
