Tinubu vs ait court refers n150b suit to pre trial conference

A interesting development in the ongoing legal battle between Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and AIT (Africa Independent Television)!

According to reports, the Federal High Court in Lagos has referred the N150 billion suit filed by Tinubu against AIT to a pre-trial conference. This means that the court has decided to hold a meeting with both parties to discuss the issues in dispute and try to resolve them before proceeding with the trial.

For those who may not be aware, Tinubu had filed the suit against AIT, alleging that the television station had broadcast a documentary that defamed him and damaged his reputation. He is seeking N150 billion in damages from AIT.

The pre-trial conference is an important step in the legal process, as it allows the parties to discuss the issues in dispute and try to reach a settlement or narrow down the issues to be tried. It's a way for the court to encourage the parties to engage in meaningful negotiations and avoid unnecessary delays and costs.

It will be interesting to see how the pre-trial conference proceeds and whether the parties are able to reach a settlement or if the case will proceed to trial.
