Q: How do I prove I didn't hack a colleague's Facebk acct. He claims my phone no and email are showing as his login details

I' worked with this colleague 6yrs ago. He is a middleaged lawyer that somtimes ask to help him sort any internet issue. He recently chatted me accusing me of hacking his facebook account as his friends has reported that there's someone requesting from money through his facebook account. This collegue said he tried login into his facbook account and said the requested him to retrieve a code through his registered email but the email he that facebook showed him was my email address and also he found that the telephone number associated to his fbk account is mine. So he called me that if I can access the said email to retrieve the code for him. I told him I do not use this email again and can't even remember the password but I told him I'll try as I noticed how worried he was. On accessing the email, it was empty there was no code from fbk or any other messages. Now his fbk email has been changed again to a diff mail that we both don't know and he's threatening to take me to court.
