EXPOSING THOSE BEHIND THE HUMILIATION OF DANBABA SUBTAI : ‘Circulated Video On Suntai Fake’ ... LeadershipNews

 Danbaba-Suntai-
Parallel secretary to the state government (SSG) in Taraba State, Barrister G.T. Katabs, has described as fake, scandalous and libelous a purported video which showed the recuperating Governor Danbaba Suntai saying he was unfit to return to office as governor of state.
Katabs, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday entitled “Fake Video Statement Credited to His Excellency, Governor Danbaba Danfulani Suntai”, said apart from the comical nature of the report, the unprofessionalism of the media was profoundly saddening.
He criticised the media for picking up a report from a questionable online media and publishing same, saying it was unprofessional.
“Moreso, many of the medium did not even bother to cross -check facts and seek a balance – a cardinal cornerstone of journalism,” Katabs said.
He added that most of the papers who reported that Governor Suntai had admitted that he could not resume work did not get their story from their correspondents in the state capital, Jalingo, saying their source was a video shown by a pressure group in Lagos to a collection of ‘top editors’ in Lagos, an action he described as dubious.
Katabs wondered if Lagos-based editors did not notice the super imposition of voices on a video put together by ‘desperate politicians.’
