Lai Mohammed’s N500m suit: Court orders processes be
served on Metuh
By Abdulwahab Abdulah & Jane Echewodo
Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of a Lagos High Court sitting in
Ikeja Wednesday ordered the service of all processes
including the motion for interlocutory injunction on the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, spokesman, Chief Olisa
Metuh in the N500m defamation suit by Alhaji Lai
Mohammed of the All Peoples Congress, APC.
At the resumed hearing of the case, the court after hearing
Wahab Shittu for the Claimant, ordered the service of the
processes while adjourned further proceedings till
November 17, 2015 for report of service and the hearing of
the pending application for interlocutory Injunction filed by
Mohammed.
The ministerial nominee and spokesman of APC, Alhaji
Mohammed, had filed the libel suit asking for N500m as
special and general damages against Metuh of the PDP.
According to Mohammed in his suit, claimed Metuh had
defamed him in a press release, authoured and circulated
on September 20, 2015, where he alleged that he
(Mohammed) embezzled the funds meant for fencing of an
airport in one of the APC-controlled states in the South-West.

Mohammed also claimed that Metuh alleged he
(Mohammed) obtained money to supply ambulances to one
APC-controlled state in the South-West, which he never did.
In the statement, Metuh was quoted to have wondered
where the APC chieftain got the courage to speak on
corruption when indeed he had mastered the art of
corruption having been “a personal aide to one of the most
corrupt politicians to ever bestride the political space of the
country.”
Mohammed, who noted he was a one-time coordinator of
the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation, disclosed
that the statement credited to Metuh was “carefully
calculated to inflict damage on my reputation and to lessen
me in the estimation of the public.”
According to him, Metuh in the statement had said, “…our
final word for the APC spokesman on this, is that being
ethically challenged, includes embezzling funds meant for
fencing an airport in an APC-led South-West state.
“It also includes when one fraudulently refuses to supply
ambulances after collecting monies from another APC
South-West state.
“It is a comedy of roles when Alhaji Lai Mohammed speaks
on corruption, a topic he practices and has well learnt, being
a personal aide to one of the most corrupt politicians to
ever bestride the political landscape of the country.”
Claiming monetary damaged, Mohammed claimed that
Mehuh had injured his “character in a grave manner and
caused him considerable reputational destruction and
embarrassment.”
He added that Metuh admitted authorising the statement in
a letter by his lawyer, Emeka Etiaba (SAN) dated September
25, 2015 to the claimant’s lawyer, Wahab Shittu, but denied
that it was Mohammed that was being referred to.
Mohammed, however, quoted Etiaba to have also referred
to an earlier statement where Mohammed also attacked
Metuh by stating that “the allegations of corruption hanging
on his (Metuh) neck, from within his own party, is a clear
indication that he is mortally afraid that the wind will soon
blow hard enough to expose the fowl’s rump…”
Mohammed, however, insisted that he made the said
statement based on a petition to the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission written against Metuh on July 15, 2015
by the PDP, Nkwelle-Ezunaka Ward 1, in the Oyi Local
Government chapter of Anambra State.
To this end, Mohammed is seeking an order mandating
Metuh to not only retract his statement but to also tender
published apology to him in a widely read newspaper for
seven consecutive days.
Apart he sought for an order of perpetual injunction
restraining Metuh and his privies from further publishing or
disseminating libelous materials against him.

"Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them"- Albert Einstein
The difference between Metuh and Lai Mohammed is that the former rant like an intellectual who had TDB preparing for a seminar whereas the later speaks effortlessly like a genius.
"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance"-Confucius
Metuh put up an emotional submissions based on speculations and street talks, probably being carried away by the hangover of defeat to reason the legal and moral burden, while Lai Mohammed brings to the table facts and figures aimed at swaying logics and reasons as regards to the mood of the moment with guide.
