Dasukigate: "The Lord is with me... my persecutors shall stumble" - says embattled Doyin Okupe

Doyin Okupe, a senior special assistant on public affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, says the Lord will see him through his ongoing trial with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The anti-graft agency is investigating Okupe over funds he allegedly collected from Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser (NSA), during the electioneering campaign.

The commission invited him for questioning and released him on health grounds.

Commenting on the criticisms that he has received since the trial began, Okupe said he would be vindicated in the end.

“On the arms scandal, the Lord is with me as mighty terrible one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble and not prevail. They shall greatly be ashamed. Jeremiah 20:11,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Too many devilish paid character assassins on d prowl. What on earth do I have to do with arms scandal? The Counsel of the wicked shall not stand.”
