The man, Kingsley Ekeoma, popularly known as Escobar who was alleged by the Nigerian media (Sun newspaper) and the Nigeria Police as the one purportedly involved in the drug dealers cartel which the gunmen that killed worshippers on Sunday was looking for, has come out to deny his involvement in the act.
Escoba Smith has instituted a lawsuit against the Sun newspaper and the police for defamation of character.
According to him, he is neither from Ozubulu, nor has he ever visited South Africa in his lifetime.
Hear him: "I am neither the so called Bishop nor from Ozubulu in Anambra State. I have never been to South Africa nor Ozubulu before .
I hail from Umuahia Abia State but base in Turkey. I am a Legitimate businessman (Verified Real Estate Developer in Abuja).
I hereby call on the office of the Inspector General of police,Dss and other security related departments to do proper investigations into the Massacre in Ozubulu.
As for AIT and Sun Newspaper wait for me. I know some stupid fools want to tarnish my reputations but i will follow up this case with my team of Lawyers till the end.
My sympathy to the bereaved families and the truth must prevail." he said.
Meanwhile in another development, Aloysius Ikegwuonu aka Bishop has denied any involvement with the Ozubulu Church Massacre.
Bishop stated that the allegation which was cooked up by the Nigerian media and the Police was false and was the handwork of his detractors who were envious of his success.
"It is true that i am based in South Africa but nobody is looking for me in the attempt to take my life. I am a legitimate business man and contractor who does business with the Government and big corporate organisations and not a drug dealer".
St Philip's Catholic Church Ozubulu was attack on Sunday (6th August) by unidentified gunmen where about 11 people were killed and scores injured.
The police announced that arrests have been made but the identities of the so-called suspects arrested are being shielded by the police till today.One more photo below.
