Tinubu Drags AIT To Court, Demands N20 Billion

All Progressives Congress National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set

to sue the management of the Daar Communications Limited, owners of the

Africa Independent Television, AIT for the defamatory content of a

documentary aired on Sunday. Counsel to Asiwaju Tinubu, Mr. Tunji Abayomi, said a letter asking Daar

Communications to apologise for the content and stop further airing was

delivered this afternoon. A part of the letter to AIT reads, ” … You aired an hour long

documentary focussing on our client (Bola Tinubu). Clearly pre-occupied

with political resentment and hatred neither warranted, necessary, proper,

or justified, you published several false allegations against our

client…More disturbing is your misrepresentation that the said

documentary was “sponsored” without disclosing the “sponsors”. You cannot

under law, hide under media freedom to maliciously injure a citizen's

reputation”. The letter also demanded for N20billion (Twenty Billion Naira) as cost of

damage done to the reputation of its client failing which the client will

sue the company. Another part of the letter reads: “…to affirm the right of our client

against your defamatory publication, we demand that you confirm to us

within 24 hours of receipt of this letter, an apology and retraction of

the said publication/documentary.” The post Tinubu Drags AIT To Court, Demands N20 Billion appeared first on Pointblank News .
