‘They want to tarnish my father’s image,’ Gov Zulum’s son speaks on murder allegation (Video)

Umara Babagana Zulum, son of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has broken his silence over an allegation that he killed a fellow student in Indian during a fight over a woman.
Several social media platforms had flown with the story that Unara, a student of the University of New Delhi, had smashed a bottle of alcoholic drink on a Chinese national who showed interest in the same lady with him at a nightclub.
The sensational story also said his father had been running ‘helter-skelter’ and pulling at diplomatic ties to get his son off the hook.
Despite denials by the state government debunking the report of the governor’s son’s arrest over the alleged murder, the reports refused to die down as it gathered momentum, forcing the Borno Governor to issue a statement saying he would not hesitate to take legal action against any medium that continued to publish what he described as complete falsehood.
Umara himself has also come out to debunk the murder allegation, describing it as baseless and untrue which was targeted at his father with the intention of tarnishing his image.
