He said the seditious letter was embarrassing to him and his associates.

The retired university don had received calls from home and abroad about the fake news, which has exposed the negative impact of unregulated social media.

“I am stating most emphatically that I did not write or authorize this letter.

“I sign my letter Professor A. Bolaji Akinyemi and not in any format.
