₦airaland Forum

National leader of the
All Progressives
Congress, Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, is set to
sue the management of
the Daar
Communications
Limited, owners of the
Africa Independent
Television, AIT for
alleged defamatory
content of a
documentary aired on
Sunday by the station.
Counsel to Asiwaju
Tinubu, Tunji Abayomi,
said a letter asking
Daar Communications
to apologise for the
content and stop
further airing was
delivered this
afternoon.
A part of the letter to
AIT reads, ” …You aired
an hour long
documentary focussing
on our client (Bola
Tinubu). Clearly pre-
occupied with political
resentment and hatred
neither warranted,
necessary, proper, or
justified, you published
several false
allegations against our
client…More disturbing
is your
misrepresentation that
the said documentary
was “sponsored”
without disclosing the
“sponsors”. You cannot
under law, hide under
media freedom to
maliciously injure a
citizen’s reputation”.
The letter also
demanded for
N20billion (Twenty
Billion Naira) as cost of
damage done to the
reputation of its client
failing which the client
will sue the company.
Another part of the
letter reads: “…to
affirm the right of our
client against your
defamatory
publication, we
demand that you
confirm to us within 24
hours of receipt of this
letter, an apology and
retraction of the said
publication/
documentary.”

Bros...am amazed at the way u view things. Are u saying the media will be gagged once buhari gains power?
Where is the place of freedom of speech and freedom of expression?
If GEJ had been doing all these, what do u think would have happened to sharia reporters, the nation, tvc and other politically affiliated media stations. now I see the kind of change u guys preach.

There is no need to deform someone's character cos of political propaganda. I will only vote in Nigeria the day I see a Leader who's Love for the Masses (People) exceed the Love for Power. For the moment, I NEVER SEE. The Change we need is not GEJ Or GMB, the Change we need is to have Leader with Conscience. Youth Governance is the Key. Just My Opinion thou.

We are talking of NBC here.
We are talking of Vibrant Rule of Law here
Defamation is a serious crime and Buhari is poised to lead from the front.

It is not about witch-hunting...it is leadership

Some people are joking with Justice..they think thos level of impunity will never end...but May 29 is close by already

Defamation!!!..that is a matter for the courts. But APC also has an advert highlighting the various gaffe of jonathan. Like stealing is not corruption. Boko haram is our brother and the likes. Has anyone been sued for that. If anyone feels unfairly misrepresented or his character "defamed". The court is there to settle it. But no one should be saying a media station will be closed down for airing contrary views. That is one of the positive side of this admiistration. You abuse him on twitter, facebook, politicians abuse him. But who has been sued or is in prison for any of these...change indeed

So PDP will sue APC for $1000billion because d way dey abuse our president.tinubu dis is just d beginning .Gej til 2019.

no one has plans to close them down, butthey will surey close down if they have to sell their assets to pay a 20Billion naira damages.

If GEJ feels like there were so many lies told in the documentary about him, he would go to court. In the case of Tinubu, there were clearly many lies and a court suit would be filed.
