"If it takes my life, so be it" - Sowore of Sahara Reporters tells Dino Melaye

Dino Melaye and Sowore of Sahara Reporters
As it's getting heated between Senator Dino Melaye and Sowore, the Sahara Reporter's publisher Sowore shared a purported screenshot of an email from London School of Economics and Political Science; saying they have no evidence of Dino Melaye passing through the school.

Sowore took to his Facebook timeline and said, 'If it takes my life, so be it. If it means another unjust ruling asking for damages for thieves. So be it'.

Folks: It was brought to my attention earlier that Nigerian Senator Dino Melaye promised to 'send me to jail' over the recent unraveling of his questionable educational background. While some are worried, appalled, alarmed and concerned and even scared about this declaration, it had me thinking differently. I am a Nigerian citizen who had been through torture, humiliations, and incarceration by dictators in uniform between 1992-1999 before I eventually left Nigeria.
I have never doubted the power of justice over legalities. That a Nigerian Senator in a democratic era could make this proclamation is indeed a sign that our democratic transition was a farce, particular when you've now noticed that Mr. Melaye was sitting at the feet of one of Nigeria's worst military dictators, Ibrahim Babangida just a week ago.
