Defamation: Deji Adeyanju Retracts Statement, Apologises To Damagun, Anyanwu by Af0nja2(op): 12:42am On Dec 07, 2024

Lawyer and a right activist, Deji Adeyanju has apologised and retracted his defamatory statement against Umar Damagun, the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, the Acting National Secretary of PDP.

It will be recalled that the duo had threatened to sue Adeyanju over allegations bordering on defamation.

Messrs Damagun and Anyanwu, through their counsel, Johnson Usman, SAN, asked Adeyanju to retract the statements and tender apology in national dailies and other social media platforms to avert the looming legal tussle.

On Friday, Adeyanju, through his lawyer, one Zainab Otega, retracted his earlier statement and apologized to the two PDP chieftains.

See the statement by his lawyer below:

Better.

Parading yourself as a human rights activist doesn't give you the right to make flippant, and libelous statements in order to impress your impressionable social media supporters.

So, Deji can apologize but he could not advise VDM like a brother on how far apology can go in stopping some legal issues VDM has. Though VDM is very stubborn but his lawyers can help him if they are not after is money only or attention

I thought Adeyanju has been going around telling his followers on twitter that defamation is not a crime. He should have maintained the energy, he go know say even lawyers dey do jail. Dele Farotimi case has reset his brain.

Meanwhile Sowore who likes to always be in the news for organising and spearheading protests wants to use Farotimi case to be in the news again, instead of getting lawyers to get Rotimi out jail he is planning a protest as if protest ground is a law court. He knows the gullible ones will follow him to protest, dude will also add this to his CV. grin

The recent steps taken by Burna Boy against Speed Darlington, Femi Falana against Very Dark Man and Afe Babalola against Dele Farotimi is beginning to teach some people valuable lessons that there are dire consequences for defaming people.

Freedom of speech is guaranteed.

Freedom from defamatory speech is not guaranteed.

Choose wisely.

This guy know is boundaries. Defamation is not a criminal offence but then civil matter equally has consequences. Kudos to Deji for this show of greatness

Many internet users cannot think for themselves. The just follow what ever bias they have afraid of the cancel culture.
Spoil person name, dem carry you go court, you say you know dem carry you go court, as you know say na trap, Baba no show to clear name for court whey we no say it is not based on emotions, siddon house dey wait for arrest. Nigerians whey dey forget person, go ask Nnamdi and others if dem don release am even after court order.
Two wrongs don't make a right. You can't fight for justice through wuruwuru or else justice too will fight you. I just pray he no spend new year for jail.
