How Fake News Almost Got Me Into Trouble – Segun Olowookere
Segun Olowookere, who was last December pardoned by Governor Ademola Adeleke after 14 years on death row at the Correctional Centre, has refuted the claim that he commited a fresh crime after his release.
Olowookere, while speaking with OSUN DEFENDER yesterday, described the claim as misleading, false and lie from the pit of hell, saying he has never commited any crime in his life.
According to him, those spreading the news are enemies of progress and mischief makers.
“I was worried reading again from different blogs that I have been arrested again after I was pardoned by Governor Ademola Adeleke. This is not true. It was evident that I did not commited the crime which I spent 14 years for in jail. Why would I then go commit a fresh crime after I was given second chance by the Governor.
