Matawalle Denies Bribery Claims, Labels Reports “Unfounded and Misleading”

The Office of the Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle, has rejected online allegations that he tried to bribe a US official. The statement said the rumours—linked to a report by an international diplomatic body—are entirely baseless and lack any credible evidence. It stressed that Matawalle has never condoned or participated in bribery and called the claims part of a broader campaign of misinformation. Despite the controversy, he remains focused on his duties and committed to serving the nation with integrity. The public is urged to disregard these unsubstantiated reports and continue to assess his performance based on his official record and ongoing work.
