Former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili has taken a higher step in the online feud between herself and blogger and social media commentator Japhet Omojuwa as she petitions the Police.
Some Twitter influencers had been suspended from the site last week for promoting an ignoble cause and although Omojuwa wasn’t one of them, some documents circulating online show that Omojuwa’s company, which was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 2012, has Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and Ezekwesili as directors.
Reacting, Ezekwesili threatened to sue the blogger over claims of alleged impersonation, fraud and use of her name on the board of directors of his media firm without seeking permission from her.
She demanded a apology from the blogger and asked for a full disclosure of the company which she was registered as its director without her knowledge.
On the strange matter of being listed as a director of Alpha Reach @cacnigeria1 , here’s the letter of my lawyers, Falana and Falana Chambers to @Omojuwa for explanation and public apology. The lawyers have also requested information from CAC on this anomaly. ✍? pic.twitter.com/zw9tHaeel0

Rather than oblige, Omojuwa went ahead to say he doesn’t deserve all the hatred he is getting. He further meted out some dirt on the minister, noting that she betrayed his loyalty, service and respect for her. According to him, he removed her from the list of his Board of Directors when it was thought that she would be appointed as a cabinet member of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Giving an update in a tweet today, the former Presidential aspirant stated that Omojuwa’s Alpha Reach did not send the information requested on how it listed her at CAC as a director, without her consent and thus, she has, through her lawyers, petitioned the Police for a thorough investigation of the misrepresentation.
My lawyers, Falana & Falana are well-handling that matter.
Strangely, Alpha Reach did not send the information requested on how it listed me at CAC as a director, without my Consent.
We have thus petitioned @policeng for a thorough investigation of the misrepresentation. ✍? pic.twitter.com/sqEbDrlPs3
