The Borno State government has dismissed reports that Umara, one of the sons of Governor Babagana Zulum, was arrested for the alleged murder of a Chinese national in India.
According to social media reports, Umara, a student at a university in New Delhi, reportedly smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on a Chinese national who showed interest in the same lady with him at a nightclub.
Debunking the reports, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Zulum on New Media, Abdurrahman Ahmed Bundi, in a statement Wednesday, said none of the governor’s sons “was either arrested or charged with any crime, or involved in any unlawful activities anywhere.”He urged the public to disregard the story and exercise caution when sharing information.
