Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has sued an online platform, Daily Nigerian and its publisher, Jafaar Jafaar, for defamation.

He is claiming N3billion in damages.

Counsel to Ganduje, Nuradeen A. Ayagi in a writ of summons tendered before the High Court demanded the defendants to file an appearance before 14 days. The writ was dated 13 November.

Daily Nigerian, had published stories and videos alleging that the Kano state Governor Ganduje collected $5 Million as kickback from contractors.

Nuradeen asked the court to declare that the act of publishing and circulating libellous statements, false and doctored video clips attacking and impugning the character and integrity of the plaintiff amounts to defamation of character of the plaintiff by the defendants and thus wrongful.”Jafaar Jafaar, middle, says the Daily Nigerian will soon respond to the suit

He also asked for order perpetually restraining the defendants, their agents and all persons and entities to whom they shared their libellous documents/records from further defaming the good standing and character of the plaintiff

The suit also seeks an order compelling the defendants to write a public apology to the plaintiff and broadcast such apology through their online platforms and news media with global accessibility.”

Daily Nigerian in a report on its website quoted its publisher, Jaafar as saying that its lawyers would study the court papers and respond appropriately.

The remorseless paper in its report still repeated the alleged libel, restating that Governor Ganduje appeared in several video clips it obtained receiving bribe, amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.

It said its sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two years ago when one of the contractors agreed with DAILY NIGERIAN request to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.

“During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face.

“About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor during the sting operation”, it reported.

Hehehe hahaha get the court to suspend house investigations.... Go to court to sue the publishers.... Even though the author has owned up... Then tell the house of assembly to back off a matter already in the courts of law....

My party APC is adept at corruption.... unparalleled...
..

This is Nigeria under the dullard and his boy Gandollar. How did our dear country end up with these shameless thieves.

The brazeness and shamelessness of these Sai Buhari thieves is something else !!!! Buhari is not running a democracy but a terroristocratic kleptocracy !!!

Bullion van

In a sane country, this man would have resigned.


I don't blame him, even Mr "Bubu" integrity is hailing him as corrupt as he is. If someone that claim he is fighting corruption is praising someone caught taking bribe, what else should we expect?

BMCs are even saying the video was doctored (I know those ones don't have brain)

In other news, any exchanger that can change 1 Gandollar into Naira?

This is Nigeria where looters have the guts to show their face and even go to the extent of sueing those exposing their evil deeds to court and the government will back them up..�

Simply crazy

Politicians in Nigeria really have got guts. Still dey go court

Wow Impunity... Nigeria for how long will we continue to allow the politicians take us for a ride?

Baba dey his back

Buhari don give am power, silly country

When Buhari got your back.

I asked someone on BRT bus if Nigeria can develop in the nxt 50 years. He said, "50 years is a long time. We will do that in teo decades when we come into office" (referring to himself). I laughed.





I even heard some court gave order for the Kano House of Assembly to stop investigation.




Ichabod!!!!

This is alarmingly appalling, barbaric, stupid, insultive, annoying, foolish, daft, uncalled for... Gawd!
How can a thief like Ganduje file a lawsuit against those that exposed him by citing defamation as his reason? I blame kano state citizens for this mess.
Buhari is a big disgrace!

Gandollar himsef

OK

Buhari sef go don advice the Gandollar to sue.

Good. At least, a Court will now looking into this serious matter.

A broad day light thief still having mouth to sue someone to court

Daily Nigeria don't honour the invitation jor after all this administration is above the law.

Apc sef

Racoon:

Bro respond to my email

This can only happen in a shit hole country, in civilized society,the stupid man should have resigned and probably spending some good times behind bar.

Gandollar fighting back. Buhari will turn deaf or blind to him because he has promised him 5m votes (children inclusive) from Kano State.


Idiotas!
