Atiku Narrates how he was humiliated by Onochie
He alleged that the tweet was politically motivated with an intention to cause maximum damage to his reputation.
Atiku had demanded an apology, retraction and payment of N500m compensation from Onochie’s to assuage the damage caused him by her social media post.
He also threatened to sue her should she fail to accede to the demand within 48 hours.
However, Atiku in his statement of claim noted that rather than show remorse by retracting her earlier publication, Onochie further made another derogatory publication on 20th May and also published same in the media.
He prayed for a declaration by the court that the publications made by Onochie via her social media accounts on May 7, and May 20, 2019, concerning and touching on him are utterly false, baseless, unfounded and defamatory, and, injurious to his reputation.
He also sought an order compelling the defendant to make a retraction of, and an apology to him for the said offensive twitter and facebook publications on the same platforms. And also to be published in three national newspapers with wide circulation within the country and also broadcast on AIT, Channels and NTA television stations.
He further prayed the court for an order compelling her to write to him, a letter of unreserved apology for the said offensive twitter and facebook publications.
Atiku also prayed the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining Onochie whether by herself, her servants, agents, privies, assigns, friends and /or representatives, or otherwise howsoever, from further posting such offensive and libelous material or any other form of defamatory statements against his person.
