A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja has slammed 25 million Naira damages on gossip blogger, Linda Ikeji for defaming Mrs Ajibola Ajayi.

In a release on its official Twitter page, the Law firm of Olaniwun Ajayi LP announced that its has successfully prosecuted the case against the controversial gossip merchant in suit number FCT/CV/667/2018: Mrs Ajibola Ajayi v. Linda Ikeji before an FCT Abuja High court.

In the court case, the Mrs Ajibola Ajayi had sued Ms. Linda Ikeji in respect of the defamatory article published in the latter’s blog, on 15.01.17 and 17.01.17 which cited Mrs. Ajibola Ajayi as having described protesting students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, as a “generation of mannerless children” in an Instagram post with the username “conceited_csj”.

Ajibola Ajayi is the daughter of late former governor of Oyo state, Abiola Ajimobi

In the judgment delivered on 12.04.2022, the Court held that the publication by Ms. Ikeji was false and malicious and that the evidence before the Court showed that the Defendant knew that the Instagram account with the username “conceited_csj” did not belong to the Claimant.

The Court further held that the publication was made available to readers worldwide which exposed the Claimant to ridicule by members of the public who read the offending article.

In reiterating the trite principle of law that libel is actionable per se, the Court awarded general and exemplary damages in the sum of N25,000,000.00 (Twenty-Five Million Naira) against Ms. Linda Ikeji and directed Ms. Ikeji to publish a written apology to the Claimant in three National tabloids.

Good. Then was Chris Rock's nasty comments against Will Smith not worthy of same treatment being in the same category? Any information used maliciously is tantamount of ridiculing the victim, hence an offense. So, why is the academy awards banning will smith for ten years and letting Chris Rock, the one who incited everything walk away freely like he's the victim. This world ehn
