Defamation: Idahosa Okunbo Serves Notice On Edo Government by Blogsphere: 7:03am On Jul 22, 2020 |
Defamation: Capt. Hosa Serves Notice On Edo State Government To Seek Redress In Court Chairman of Ocean Marine Solution (OMS), Captain Idahosa Wells Okunbo (Capt, Hosa), has served notice on the Edo State Government of his intention to proceed against it in court for libelous 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. Hosa demanded a retraction of the said publications. He also demanded that the State Government and/or its representatives should cease and desist from making any further libelous and defamatory publications against him. Not done, the billionaire businessman 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.” In the four-page letter, Olanipekun said that:- “On Monday, 20 July, 2020, publications captioned “Okunbo, Oshiomhole making plans to disrupt Edo governorship elections”, appeared on pages 26 of The Punch and 53 of THISDAY. According to him, “You are aware that our client is one of the most prominent citizens of Edo State and, indeed, a foremost Nigerian. He is an accomplished businessman, whose interests and achievements, transcend Edo State and Nigeria. “Through hard work, excellence and the rare business acumen, our client has built and nurtured a diverse and vast business conglomerate, spanning different spheres of the Nigerian economy. “Edo State is one of the primary beneficiaries of our client’s industry. He invests significantly in the welfare of the State and he employs several hundreds of Edo indigenes in his many businesses. “Our client has been meticulous in building his career with the hallmarks of diligence and integrity. His peace-loving nature has received global acclaim. Hence, he was recognized with a global peace award in 2019 by the Chairman of the Order of Lafayette awards in Geneva, Switzerland. “We could refer to an endless list of numerous awards and achievements certifying our client as a man of integrity, industry, means and peace. It is instructive that some of these awards were conferred on our client by institutions based in Edo State. He is a respected Nigerian and philanthropist, who is held in high esteem within and beyond the shores of Nigeria.” He stated further:- “As a remote and direct result of the false, inaccurate, misleading and libelous publications, our client has been inundated with several enquiries from different parts of the world by concerned associates, clients, investors, friends and family members, demanding explanation and clarification about the criminal insinuations of the publications. Olanipekun added:- “The publications have caused considerable distress to our client, putting his distinguished and illustrious reputation at risk. In particular, you are aware that as with most businesses, our client’s businesses thrive on goodwill. Olanipekun continued:- “Premised on the foregoing, we have further instruction of our client to demand a retraction of the publication and an unreserved apology.https://leadership.ng/2020/07/22/capt-hosa-serves-notice-on-edo-gov-demands-n2bn/ 7 Likes 1 Share

I am seeing Obaseki going down, he should be careful on how to manage crisis, let him not declare war when their is none. His fallout with Oshiomole was caused by his ways of managing humans, you don’t force people to bow for you, your actions make them fall in line and all must not be on your side. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Obaseki is fighting both those fighting him and those not fighting him. He now suspects every and anything. The heat of an election, Oshiomhole took for him in 2016 is beginning to have its toll on him now. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

That's a very myopic view. You need to stop watching nollywood movies. Start reading foreign journals and materials like Forbes, Fortune, New York Times, HBR etc. You can read many of these materials for free online. If you keep this line of thought, you will never go beyond being average in life. You can be very wealthy without being a criminal. "Learn how to do well" Isaiah 1:17 englishmart: 6 Likes 2 Shares |

OSHIOMOLE has piped down having lost at the federal level. Now Capt Hosa Okunbo, one of Oshiomole foot soldier has started his own. This man Okunbo was known to have had issues with the MD of Nigeria Ports Authority, Hadiza Bala Usman. Now Okunbo has started with Obaseki having had his finger burnt with Hadiza Bala Usman of the Nigeria Ports Authority. YOU HAVE MONEY which almost every Edo state indigene including other Nigerians know why not go and enjoy your wealth quietly like Dangote or the Igbenedion. Why take sides with the parties in the Edo state crisis. HOSA OKUNBO SHOULD LEARN FROM BUSINESS MAN ALIKO DANGOTE, THE ACT OF NOT SUPPORTING ONE SIDE AGAINST THE OTHER IN A POLITICAL ISSUES AT LEAST NOT PUBLICLY. Aliko Dangote has a lot to teach Hosa Okunbo. Just few days ago Hosa Okunbo bought three pages of the Vanguard Newspaper where he wrote a detailed articles calling on President Buhari to tell GOVERNOR OBASEKI TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. But did Okunbo tell Buhari to talk to Oshiomole whom he Okunbo has been supporting to leave Obaseki alone. Oshiomole is still fighting governor Obaseki even though he has been relieved of his national chairman job at Abuja. Okunbo should learn as a businessman that situation like this demands that you remain neutral to the electoral processes as it relates to whom will become governor of the state. When you try to support one party against the other especially as it has to do with the incumbent governor or government of Edo state the forces of the STATE GOVERNMENT will be pulled against you.
