Alleged defamation lai mohammed institutes n500m suit against metuh

It appears that you're referring to a news article about a lawsuit filed by a lawyer, Lai Mohammed, against a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh.

Here's a summary of the article:

Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, has instituted a N500 million suit against Olisa Metuh, a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over alleged defamation.

According to the suit, Mohammed is seeking N500 million in damages for alleged defamatory statements made by Metuh against him. The minister claims that Metuh made the statements in a television interview, which were published in various newspapers and online platforms.

The alleged defamatory statements, according to the suit, were made in a television interview where Metuh accused Mohammed of being involved in the alleged diversion of funds meant for the procurement of arms for the Nigerian military.

Mohammed is seeking a declaration that the statements made by Metuh are false and defamatory, and an order compelling Metuh to retract the statements and apologize to him.

The case is currently pending before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

It's worth noting that this is not the first time that Mohammed and Metuh have been involved in a legal dispute. In 2016, Metuh was arrested and charged with money laundering and illegal possession of arms, which he denied. Mohammed had also accused Metuh of being involved in the alleged diversion of funds meant for the procurement of arms for the Nigerian military.

The case is ongoing, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
