No mind them, they are too emotional to notice the key words: Multimedia broadcast to AriseTv, which was aired in Nigeria, particularly Abuja; to me that inferred the statement was made in Australia not in Nigeria.

More importantly, if Ihejirika wants to be taken seriously he should also have joined the American Government in the suit, who through its Ambassador wanted him probed for embezzlement of billions of naira it alleged he diverted from military funds meant to fight Boko Haram.

Ihejirika who arguably one of the wealthiest retired Generals allegedly pocketed billions of naira meant for the Army.
According to our source, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle raised the issue when he met recently with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. Ambassador Entwisle at the meeting at the Presidential Villa, said the U.S is particularly concerned about the sudden riches of Ihejirika........
The US Ambassador told Jonathan that the Americans who were in Nigeria to assist in the fight against insurgents were shocked to find out that what was on ground did not match the billions allocated under Ihejirika’s watch.

Please do not insult Mr Chukwuma the Innoson guy by attributing his achievement to any Nigerian government policy. Even a simple gesture of using Innoson SUV cars as official car especially when abroad, can Jonathan do that?

Innoson has been around for God knows how many years, planning, hardworking even when Jonathan was still a school teacher. So what you are seeing now is not one of Jonathan's or OBJ'd overnight rich people but product of many years of hardwork and visionary business plan.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Have you ever had a lawyer or Professor in your family or what do you mean by your statement?

P.s: this younger generation of Nigerians are....God, I can't even say it.

And to you, it is quite OK that after 6 years it is still under construction while someone else had completed 53% of the project since 2 years ago!

When exactly would the constitution end?

stevecantrell:
We both know that innovative people like innoson and Co are not the Kind of billionaires he's referring to.

“This party, as you all know, is a
business-friendly party. The government of PDP encourages policies and will come up with
programmes and policies that will promote enterprise and industry. We believe we must
encourage commercial activities.

stevecantrell:
Does he even know the implications of such careless talk ?

Islie:
Is this PDP issue based campaign and debate

Adminisher:
Wrong move to sue. I dont think his back is covered and it is going to drag national security issues into the open. I predict a pressure from FG on him to withdraw. If Modu Sheriff sues as well we are screwed.

He said, “This stadium has a capacity for 16,000 people. You promised us you were going to mobilise 20,000 supporters to the rally, but you could only mobilise 10,000, which is not good enough. Port Harcourt Local Government has over 106,000 registered APC members. So, you must repeat this rally.”

koboko69:
After how many months? U think u have cleared the ground first? No wonder sss brought some hungry looking petty traders and showed us first. Desperate damage control may back fire....if i were this clown, i will let sleeping dogs sleep

U as a former army boss no the rules.. if u buy it, you serve it

Akainzo:
Don't you have any shame? 47% is still under construction after 6 years, yet another person completed 53% under 2 years!

Are your expectations or standards that low?

Ihejirika is a clown. If he is clean he should go to Australia and file his lawsuit there.

I suppose that is out of the question because of fear of the Hague.

A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, has instituted a N100bn libel suit against a self-styled Australian hostage negotiator, Stephen Davies, for accusing him (Ihejirika) of sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgent group.

Ihejirika filed the suit before a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.

He is through his team of lawyers, comprising, Chief Nnoruka Udechukwu (SAN), Prof. C.U. Ilegbune, (SAN) and Ben Anechebe (SAN), seeking N100bn as aggravated damages for defamation. The plaintiff’s lawyers said their client has suffered grievous wrong and he has been exposed to scandal, odium, ridicule, humiliation and his character, credit and reputation brought into disrepute, both in Nigeria and abroad.

He had obtained an order of court to serve the process on the defendant abroad.

His lawyers have also on the strength of the court order applied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enable them to serve Davis who lives on Perth, Australia.

Australia and Nigeria are members of the Commonwealth and a special procedure applies when serving court processes on defendant.

Ihejirika is also seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining Davis or his agents from
further making defamatory comments about him.

He also seeks an order compelling the defendant to publish a dull and unqualified retraction and apology conspicuously in the front page of a newspaper to assuage the plaintiff for the said false malicious and libelous publication.

Ihejirika said that he retired meritoriously from the military after a successful career and that he served the army without blemish.

He stated, “On or about the 28th day of August 2014, the defendant granted a multimedia and
television interview broadcast to AriseTv, which aired in Nigeria, particularly in Abuja, and subsequently published by numerous newspapers and media houses; wherein the defendant when asked during the AriseNews segment of the interview to name the sponsors of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria, falsely and maliciously spoke of the plaintiff in the following words, to wit:

‘There is the former Chief of Army Staff, retired January, or actually sacked by the President he is another sponsor. I could give you the names if you like but I have no fear that these were very confident and it is in fact Boko Haram senior commanders who have been naming them.”

He said that the spoken words and publication in their ordinary meaning were understood by
reasonable members of the society who listened or watched the said AriseNews broadcast in Abuja to Mean that he sponsored Boko Haram, a terrorist sect to wage war, insurrection or insurgency against Nigeria. He also said that the publication implied that he did not retire but was sacked by the President and that he had committed treason or treason able felony.

Ihejirika said the public who listened to the broadcast believed that he had conducted himself in a manner tantamount to breach of his oath of allegiance and service as a soldier and senior officer in the Nigerian Army.

In an affidavit he deposed to, Ihejirika said he had suffered grievous wrong and had been exposed to scandal, odium,ridicule, humiliation and that his character, credit and reputation brought into disrepute, both in Nigeria and abroad.

baLLoTBOxX:
the bold is the only reason why you want rochas out, be honest with yourself. Aren't there other low performing governors in SE? If there aren't, how come ebonyi anambra and abia the king of infrastructural decay not as song as enugu? Those other low performers got a 2nd term, why not rochas?

ik4life:
Do u support that jonathan should be returned in 2015?

oziegbe2015:
[s]igbos hatred for themselves didnt start today. They dont even have a single representative that they can rally on. God made them amopholus and yet nowhere. Rochas was the only hope of igbo glory and they desert him for thinking outside the box of the container of modern day slave which pdp placed them. Even if rochas won apc president ticket they would still desert him like they did to ojukwu[/s]
