The Civil Rights Action Against Corruption, (CRAAC) has sacked its national coordinator, Comrade John Olukayode for cheap blackmail and threatened protest against the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission, (NHRC) Rev Yakubu Pam.
Disclosing this in press conference in Abuja over the weekend, Comrade Paul Katuka, Joshua Obukohwo and David Gizo said Comrade John Olukayode arbitrary used the rights group platform to blackmail Rev. Yakubu Pam without the consent of at least two third of the anti corruption group.
“We are here to disassociate ourselves from the recent manifestation of what has clearly become an act of campaign of calumny and blackmail against Rev Yakubu Pam, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pligrim Commission by one of us.”
“Our reference here is the recent misleading story published in the Vanguard newspapers titled “Same faith ticket: Anti graft body asks Pam to resign as Christian Pilgrims’ boss
“What a misleading statement from a supposedly leader of a civil society group and one that is ideally, a straight forward person.
Peoples Daily scooped that Comrade Paul Katuka was elected as Acting Coordinator of the group.
CRAAC under Comrade John Olukayode had accused the NCPC boss of complicit in sponsoring some activities of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu thus threatening a protest against his continuation in office.
