DEFAMATION CASE: COURT ORDERS SEN. NATASHA TO PAY YAHAYA BELLO N1BN. (PHOTO).

-


A High Court in Lokoja has awarded N1billion in damages against Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, in a defamation suit filed by former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello.


The order is contained in the Certified True Copy of the judgment, dated April 23, in Lokoja.


The court held that based on the preponderance of evidence or balance of probabilities, judgment was entered in favour of the claimant.


Justice A. S. Ibrahim, while delivering his judgment in the suit marked “HCL/16/2023”, held that upon the conclusion of the suit, the two issues formulated for determination were resolved in favour of the claimant.


“The interview granted by the defendant on 4/11/2022 on Arise TV programme of ‘The Morning Show’ is defamatory to the claimant’s character and reputation.


“The said interview of 4/11/2022 in which the defendant described the claimant as a murderer, killer, perpetrator of evil acts, and a terror to the people of Kogi State was without justification.”


The court also gave “an order of perpetual injunction against the Defendant, [his] agents, privies or associates”, restraining them from further issuance of the defamatory statements or words against the claimant on TV or radio stations.


“The sum of one billion naira (N1,000,000,000) only (is) awarded as damages against the Defendant and in favour of the Claimant,” the court said.


NAN reports Bello had sued Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan for defamation of character.


The Defendant’s Counsel, Johnson J. Usman, SAN, had challenged the jurisdiction of the court,  saying that the suit was an abuse of court process.


Bello’s Counsel, Friday Ekpa, however, countered that, saying that none of the cases before the FCT High Court was against the person of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.


After the High Court ruled that it had jurisdiction to entertain the case, Akpoti-Uduaghan appealed the ruling.


The Court of Appeal, in the appeal number “CA/ABJ/CV/626/2024”, however, dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit and affirmed that the Kogi State High Court had jurisdiction to entertain the case
