Yinka Odunmakin, the Spokesperson for Afenifere Renewal
Group, has dragged the All Progressives Congress and its Lagos Publicity
Secretary, Joe Igbokwe to a Lagos High Court urging the court to compel them to
pay him N1bn for allegedly defaming him through a publication entitled, “Biafra
truth be told” published by them sometime in October 2015.
Also joined in the suit is a Switzerland-based media
consultant, Mallam Adekunle Kayode and Today digital News and Media Limited.
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.
