He stated this in response to an allegation by former All Progressives Congress, APC, Deputy spokesperson, Timi Frank that he misappropriated the sum of N90bn given to him by the First Inland Revenue Services, FIRS, for the prosecution of the 2019 elections.

In a series of tweets, Osinbajo wrote: “I have today instructed the commencement of legal action against two individuals, one Timi Frank and another Katch Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods.

“In the past few days, a spate of reckless and malicious falsehoods have been peddled in the media against me by a group of malicious individuals.

“The defamatory and misleading assertions invented by this clique have been making the social media rounds anonymously.

“I will waive my constitutional immunity to enable the most robust adjudication of these claims of libel and malicious falsehood. ~YO”
