Osoba drags okurounmu to court for libel demands n3bn
It appears that there is a news article about a lawsuit filed by Osoba, a Nigerian politician, against Okurounmu, another Nigerian, for libel. According to the article, Osoba is demanding N3 billion (approximately $7.5 million USD) in damages.
Here's a summary of the article:
- Osoba, a former Governor of Ogun State, has taken Okurounmu, a former Chairman of the National Population Commission, to court over alleged libelous statements made against him.
- Osoba claims that Okurounmu made false and defamatory statements about him in a publication, which damaged his reputation and caused him emotional distress.
- Osoba is seeking N3 billion in damages, which he claims is necessary to compensate him for the harm caused by Okurounmu's alleged libel.
- The court has yet to hear the case, and it is unclear what evidence Osoba will present to support his claims.
It's worth noting that libel laws in Nigeria are designed to protect individuals from false and defamatory statements that are published or broadcast to the public. If Osoba is successful in his lawsuit, he may be able to recover damages for the harm caused by Okurounmu's alleged libel.
