In a motion Exparte filed before an Ikeja High Court
on Friday March 6 th 2015, the court granted an
accelerated hearing for motion on notice in the
case of defamatory and libelous documentary aired
on DAAR Communications, AIT. The granted
accelerated hearing comes up on Monday March
16, 2015.
The exparte motion brought before Ikeja High Court
– sought an order of interim injunction restraining
the respondent, AIT whether by itself, agents,
privies and or other persons from producing or
continuing to broadcast, airing, or continuing to
reproduce any defamatory documentary against the
applicant which AIT started to broadcast on
Sunday 1st of march , 2015 and has been repeating
on a daily basis since then,
Pending the airing and determination of the motion on
notice for interlocutory injunction dated 5th March ,2015
filed in this suit.
The motion further noted as a fact that damages would
not adequately compensate applicant/claimant if this
ex-parte order is not granted. It prayed that the res of
this suit may be extinguished if the ex-parte order is not
granted. That there is real, imminent and urgent threat
and danger of continuing to decimate the person and
integrity of the applicant by the respondent by
continuing to air the offensive broadcast if the ex-parte
motion is not granted. That unless this application is
granted, the defendant will not relent or suspend the
broadcast of the said libelous documentary and that it
is in the interest of justice to grant this application.
The legal effect of the filing and notification of the
pendency of a law suit under the legal doctrine of lis
pendens is that all parties should exercise extreme
caution particularly restraint in continuing with the act
complained of. This is the minimal requirement of any
law abiding citizen.
This duty also extends to other members of the society
who are expected to refrain from aggravating the
damage complained of or in any way contributing to the
quantum of damage. It takes on a more compelling
dimension in this instance where the claimant has
applied for injunctive restraining orders against the
material complained against.
The contrary can hardly be argued against the fact that
affront to the judicial institution attracts criminal
implications.
The Tinubu legal team is led by Chief Wole Olanipekun,
SAN. Dr. Tunji Abayomi is also part of the legal team.
