What a waste of money!

The case will be thrown out. Saharareporters reported on some information at their disposal. And coming from Nigeria with a reputation for corrupt politicians, Obanikoro is engaging in s wild goose chase.

Saharareporters have been sued so many times. And the litigants lost in all the cases. You will see numerous pro bono Human Rights lawyers pick up this case. Will Obanikoro appear if subpoenaed to?


Lol. Obanikoro is an I.diot!

You are wicked sha.... come over to American court?! shocked shocked shocked Are you APC by any chance? grin
Dont you know what he used to do for a living before becoming a "PDP Politician"?
Abeg o, its better to be a PDP Politician than to end up in a Federal US Prison o!

You have a point but looking at it from other angles, personal investigation done by the Newspaper is void in court of law and technology has made it possible to alter voice and pictures to high degree of accuracy. I see this case dragging for a long time..

Assuming EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS TRUE.....

It simply means "Koro" CANNOT prove beyond reasonable doubt, that the TAPE is NOT his Voice! => He cant prove defamation.

Remember it is his duty TO PROVE that it is NOT his Voice, not the other way round, as he is the "accuser"!

Incase you still dont get it:
*The court will assume ab initio, that the person being sued (accused) is INNOCENT...until proven Guilty.
*The accuser now has a duty to PROVE AND CONVINCE THE COURT that "it is not my voice", "l am being accused wrongly".

How is "Koro' gonna do that?

Just imagine if the court listens to him and while listening to the tape afterwards and they are like: What did you just say on the tape just now?
..and he answers: That was not me, it is Omisore that said "Everything as under our control"! grin grin grin

Case Closed! Pay Sahara and PrimeNEws some Millions of Dollars in Damages!
"Koro": Emmm...Jonathan, l need a lot of money to settle this people o, or else they wont let me travel back to Nigeria! sad shocked shocked

For this guy to have the guts to put up such an offensive defense, I think he's got something brewing.

Let's note that legal firm mentioned here is very reputable and wouldn't go into this if it were an open-and-close case against their client as most of us think.

Is there something we are not being told?

Time will tell.

He has nothing. A white wash case to shift attention.

You are wrong in the bolded. Their investigation is very important to disprove malice and it is not void in a court of law. Once it is part of their pleadings what will make it void? The company they used is a reputable company in the US and the company is not an interested party so its testimony is very pertinent.
About the altering of voices using technology the onus is on Obanikoro to prove since he is the one alleging that the tape was digitally altered.

I pity Koro ooo, this case is far lost. Mr. Sagir Koli will surely appear in court to testify how his family members were harassed and threatened, how his younger brother was incarcerated for about 5yrs or more. I seriously pity Koro.

egift:


Bros the tape is real. All they have to do is hold on, Koro will be dragged through the mud. Even those who are yet to see it will do now.

The most interesting would be the case lodged in New York.

But the Lagos own is as good as being won by the thug cos I don't think digital recording is now admissible as evidence in Nigerian courts even if it is, we don't have forensice experts that can analyse the recording without being compromised. Also the major player in this case Sgt. Sagir Koli won't be on ground as a witness cos he has being forced out of the country through treat.

I won't be surprised if the thug later withdraws the one in New York.

Obanikoro going to court is grand-standing, a mere drama like he did after he "loss" the Lagos state PDP primary to JK.

Mind you he has being nominated again as a minister in the clueless outgoing govt., the case in court will be the "usual" excuse not to question him on the leaked Ekitigate tape by the senate. He is being clever by half and born-fraudster.

This may not be a very smart move because he is giving them the opportunity to prove that the recording is true in Nigeria and the US. Talk about digging his own grave.

30pence:


I WONDER WHY SOME EMOTIONAL ANIMALS HERE WERE TRYING TO PRE-EMPT THIS GUY.

we'eve seen series of lies coming from APCs. Eg:
- bullying tinubu with the military,
- INEC's level of preparedness for the election, when more than 35% of the population were yet to be supplied their pvc.

Only an insane person will tell me that such audio cannot be doctored when with an ordinary mtn magic voice you can do an audio different from your voice.
lolz...

Why do the military have to study bokoharam clips to make sure the leader's speeches were real?

Mind you, we're talking about audio and not videos as in the case of boko. Moreover, APC have all the money in the world to produce such counterfeits, borrowing a leaf from buhari'certificate saga.

Obanikoro has gone to court coz he's aggrieved, leave making yourselves the judges and let the judges do their own thing.

It's baffles me to see the comments from the supposed proponents of change. Silence would have been interpreted as accepting the recordings. Abi he no get human rights again because e be pdp man again. No better sane way of addressing the issue than the courts. The good thing here is that its in America so no excuse like bribing the judge. I'm too wise to trust any politician from local government chairmen to the president including their media wing(Sahara reporters, the punch, the nation, NTA, Ait etc)
Let's wait for the court before hastily jumping into conclusions
