THE ball remains firmly un-played in the court of Omoyele Sowore, publisher of the popular online medium, saharareporter.com as Senate President; Dr Bukola Saraki called him out last week.

It is indeed curious that a clear week after all the weighty allegations made against Sowoye in a statement issued by Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to Saraki, the United States of America based publisher has not made as much a whimper in denunciation of any of the claims.
Now that is unusual. When the publisher of a well-respected news outlet like saharareporters is accused of misdemeanours including extortion, blackmail and rumour peddling, you do not only expect a rebuttal but a swift one at that. How did we arrive at this juncture to in the first instance?
In a report with the headline: “Theft of Paris Club Refund: Saraki Claimed He Borrowed N5b from Dangote to fund Buhari’s election,” Saharareporters had alleged that “Saraki grabbed for himself at least N3.5 billion” from the refund of over-deducted Paris Club repayments from monthly allocations to states as demanded by governors.
