A former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has carried out his threat to sue President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, for her alleged libellous tweet via her Twitter handle on May 7, 2019.

The post allegedly suggested that Atiku was on the watch list of security operatives in the United Arab Emirates and had travelled to shop for terrorists in the Middle East.


Atiku, through his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), filed a N2.5bn suit against Onochie before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on June 26.

“To say that the claimant is shopping for terrorists knowing same to be untrue and without any foundation is not only dishonest and reckless, but is calculated and politically designed to instigate security agents against him not only in the UAE, but across the world,” he stated in his statement of claim accompanying the suit.”

Nice one

Now she's struggling to keep her post in bubu second term

With this bubu go tell her to go defend herself first before appointment

All these libel suit in Nigeria does not always have a headway. The only time we get to hear about it is when it is filed.

Anyone kindly inform me. Has a respondent ever paid after losing in a libel suit in Nigeria or filed for bankruptcy due to inability to pay?

Atiku should pursue his claims against her if he has his facts, its about time people from different political divide exercised restraint in their utterances.

Nice one Atiku. But that woman no get up to 50 Million for account.

Good, long overdue

Where will NgeneUkwenu get N2.5b to pay

Ok

Justice must prevail

Lol


Her Pammy sales for 6 centuries won't raise 2.5 million naira



Atiku should pity the drunkard

That woman don buy market and guess what, there will be no Buhari to save her drunken ass this time.

That is definitely what Buhari will say.

Good.... That woman with the leaking mouth needs to learn moderation.

This is Lovely, can't wait to hear what she'll come up with.

Nonsense. Atiku too greedy and desperate nowadays

Very good.

Buhari need to start filing against those pdp miscreants making false allegations against him..

wasted effort

Atiku no waste your time. this one no get money. Na just mouth

Speaking as someone who is neutral in this PDP APC ish....good idea.

People should not make allegations they cannot prove.

You just don't go and lie against Atiku....in the name of politics...without evidence.

I don't like Atiku...but I hope he wins this case. Libel no good.

(P.S..As we are in the COZA season....Fatoyinbo should have his day in court too...but still he needs Jesus)

Interesting

She thinks she can say anything because Buhari is in power. Hungry idiots looking for credit from Buhari. You threat politics like war and make unnecessary accusations because you were made an aide. There's limit to what we can say about someone online.

Good, I want more of this in this country people talking bad about others not having facts. All the money made in bubu first tenure will disappear

Drunken mistress doesn't even have half that amount in her bank account

Useful idiot will be discarded

no false allegations against Buhari. he's responsible for everything. even Busolas case

So using this analogy.

Buhari too can sue FFK, Reno and even Atiku himself.
They better not start what they can't finish.

People that can't take criticism will be criticizing others.

Nonsense! Better free that woman and allow her do her job.
