The Spokesperson for Afenifere Renewal Group, Yinka Odunmakin, has filed a suit against the All Progressives Congress and its Lagos Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe to a Lagos High Court over alleged name defamation.
A Switzerland-based media consultant, Mallam Adekunle Kayode and Today Digital News and Media Limited were also joined in the suit.
Odunmakin demanded the sum of N1billion from the defendants for allegedly defaming him through a publication entitled, “Biafra truth be told” which they published in October 2015.
According to Odumakin, the defendants in the publication allegedly categorised him among some people it described as “miserable election losers who go back to play ethnic politics and resort to blackmail, primordial sentiments, ethnic and subterfuge when they fail in national politics.” In that regards, Odumakin wants the court to ask the defendants to pay him N1bn compensation for soiling his name.
