Omo-Agege urged to call alleged godson to order over blackmail allegations

Youths from the Niger Delta have urged former Nigerian Senate Deputy President Ovie Omo-Agege to call his alleged associate and godson, Tega Oghenedoro, to order over blackmail allegations. In a statement issued Wednesday, their spokesperson, Akpor Akpororo, alleged that the sponsor of a publication had worked with political associates to discredit public office holders. The group warned that political interests could exploit false publications as the electoral season approaches and called for responsible journalism, verifiable evidence and accountability in public communication.
