Obanikoro Sues Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, Punch

Ministerial nominee, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has gone to court to seek redress over a case of defamation of character by online newspapers, Sahara Reporters and Premium Times.  Continue below to read the full report from Tribune, plus you can’t guess the top New York firm that will be battling it with Sahara Reporters in New York.

Joined in the suit are Punch Newspapers Ltd., Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters and Festus Owete, General Editor at Premium Times.

The defendants had published an audio recording of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, purportedly in a conversation with other individuals to rig the Ekiti State gubernatorial election, an allegation Senator Obanikoro and the others had since disclaimed.

In a suit filed at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, Senator Obanikoro is suing the defendants for damages to the tune of N1 billion.

According to the suit filed on his behalf by Dr Yemi Oke of MJS Partners, Senator Obanikoro is seeking “an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from publishing or causing to be published, either directly or indirectly, defamatory, damaging, offensive or degrading statements, articles and/or materials against the claimant.

“An order directing the defendant to jointly or severally pay to the claimant the sum of N1 billion, being damages for harm caused to his political, professional, business, social and institutional reputation, as a result of the defamation, by willful and scandalous publication of false statements by the defendants.

“An order directing the defendants to retract the false and damaging publication by a letter of apology directed to the claimant and published on the same media through which the defamatory publication was circulated and

“

An order of court for the cost of this suit against the defendants.”

In a similar development, Senator Obanikoro has hired Tacopina & Seigel, one of New York’s top law firms reputed for their groundbreaking defence of celebrity baseball player, Alex Rodriguez, in his case against the 211-game doping suspension slammed on him by Major League Baseball (MLB).

Tacopina & Seigel is handling Senator Obanikoro’s case against Sahara Reporters in New York, United States.

The defendants have 42 days to prepare their defence and make an appearance in court to defend themselves in the Lagos suit.
