Billionaire businessman, Captain Idahosa Wells Okunbo, has taken a step further in his battle against the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and the government by commencing legal proceedings for libellous and defamatory publication against the government.

Captain Idahosa, who is the Chairman of Ocean Marine Solution (OMS), served a notice to the Edo State Government of his intention to proceed against it in court for libellous and defamatory publications against him by the State Government.

In a letter by his Counsel, Dr Oladapo Olanipekun (SAN), dated July 20, 2020, and referenced EM/OAG/02/2020, addressed to the Edo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Professor Yinka Omorogbe, Capt. Idahosa demanded a retraction of the said publications; insisting that the State Government and/or its representatives should cease and desist from making any further libellous and defamatory publications against him.

Captain Idohosa further demanded the sum of N2 billion for the “embarrassment, inconvenience, losses and damages done to his person, character and interests” as a result of the “mischievous, malicious and misleading publications.”
