According to him, no group in the country is being targeted for harassment or persecution.

He said: “I’m yet to read that letter but I will just say it is Edwin Clark’s personal opinion. Anybody who is a follower of events in the country knows that this administration persecutes nobody.

“The administration is just asking all Nigerians to do the right thing and anybody that goes contrary to the law will answer irrespective of where that person comes from.

“So if anybody says a particular group is being targeted for attack or assault or persecution, right thinking Nigerians know that that is not true,” he stated.

Tompolo is standing trial for his alleged involvement in a contract scam.
