Dr. Tammy Danagogo, former Secretary to the Government of Rivers State, has denied allegations that he was involved in a purported assassination plot against Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The claims, which also implicate Pastor Tombari Joseph Gbeneol and others, have been circulating on online platforms. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant, Obele Briggs, Dr. Danagogo described the accusations as “baseless, false, and deliberately fabricated.” He asserted that he has never participated in any discussions, meetings, or plans involving violence, assassination, or unlawful activities.
Dr. Danagogo emphasized that the allegations are malicious attempts to tarnish his reputation and mislead the public. He stressed that he is a peace‑loving, law‑abiding citizen who has served Rivers State and Nigeria with distinction and integrity, consistently upholding the rule of law throughout his public and private life. The statement urged the public to disregard the “unfounded and mischievous reports,” which it claimed exist only in the imagination of their peddlers.
He also clarified that he is not on the run, as alleged, and is ready to cooperate with the police or any responsible law‑enforcement agency for investigation, if invited. The allegations against Dr. Danagogo and others have sparked concerns about the safety and security of public figures in Nigeria, a country that has experienced instances of political violence and assassinations in the past. These events highlight the need for thorough investigations into such claims.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond and whether Dr. Danagogo and the other accused will be cleared of any wrongdoing. With a career spanning various public roles, Dr. Danagogo has built a reputation as a dedicated public servant. His denial of the allegations and willingness to cooperate with investigations aim to clear his name and reassure the public of his commitment to peace and the rule of law. The development serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before accepting it as true, especially in the age of social media where false information can spread quickly.
