Ikechukwu Obiorah, a former senator, has described as “blatant falsehood” reports linking him with the controversial Malabu oil deal.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Obiorah said false reports on the deal had been published against him since 2005.
He accused Fidelis Anosike and Noel Anosike whom he has legal issues with over Daily Times, of being behind the reports.
“My attention has been drawn to a publication maliciously linking me to the Malabu Oil controversy,” he said.

“This is blatant falsehood… the fact is that I sold to one Alhaji A.A Aliyu (AA Oil) my two Plots No 279 with file No. MISC 51501 and 280 with file No: MISC 52560, situate at the Central Business District Abuja, adjacent to Ceddi Plaza, together with the owning companies namely Touchstone Ltd RC No. 407140 and Hentom and Co Ltd RC No.199446 respectively.
“The above sale was done in the open market after I left the Senate in 2011 and with the processes necessary for the transfer of the companies to A.A Aliyu registered contemporaneously at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). The foregoing facts are easily verifiable.
“The general public should therefore disregard this malicious fabrication as well as the other fake news sponsored against me since 2005. “
