Segun Olowookere, who was sentenced to death for allegedly stealing fowl and recently pardoned by Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has addressed and dismissed the false news by Gist Lovers and Remedy Bloggers that he has been rearrested for stealing a television set worth N600, 000 crime and remanded in prison custody.
Speaking on YouTube and Tiktok, Olowookere said he was mistaken for one Sunday Omisakan, one of the 53 inmates pardoned by Governor Adeleke who has been rearrested for stealing a television set worth N600,000.
His words, “The actual suspect in question is Sunday Omisakin, one of the 53 inmates recently pardoned by Governor Ademola Adeleke including me.”
He said,”Good morning, everyone. My name is Segun Olowookere. There has been a false report circulating on gistlover and remedy blogs page that I Segun Olowookere has been returned to prison for committing another crime. I am here to correct this information.
“The actual suspect in question is Sunday Omisakin, one of the 53 inmates recently pardoned by Governor Ademola Adeleke including me. I am pleased to inform you that, I, Segun Olowookere is doing well and working towards rebuilding my life. Please, disregard the first news and help me spread the correct information.
“I am using this opportunity to beg the Nigerian journalists, and the Nigerian lawyers to come to my aid, and to come to my rescue. Initially the case that made them to sentence me to jail, I didn’t commit the offense.
“I wonder why this is coming out from different bloggers saying that I have been arrested and I have been taken back to prison custody which they are using this to gain followers. If they have been paid, they should stop this and stop spoiling my name, career and pictures. They should also stop using this fake news to spoil the name of the governor that helped me.”
