A former chairman of the
Presidential Taskforce on Pension Reform, Abdulrasheed Maina, has dragged the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to court, demanding N10
billion.
The acting Chairman of the EFCC,
Ibrahim Magu was also sued for allegation of character defamation.
In the writ of summons, lawyer to
the former pension boss, James Onyilo asked the court for a “declaration that
the press interview granted Magu on November 30th and December 14th, 2017 are
defamatory to with slanderous, untrue, injurious and intended to lower the
reputation and integrity of the plaintiff in the estimation of right thinking
members of the society and brought him to public ridicule, odium, contempt and
derision.”
James also prayed the court to
“order the defendants to retract and publish an unreserved apology to the
plaintiff in at least three daily newspapers within seven days from the day of
the judgement.”
In the court document obtained by
Daily Trust, the lawyer further demanded the court to “restrain the EFCC boss
from making comments considered defamatory of the plaintiff and for the court
to make an order directing the defendants to pay jointly and severally, the sum
of N10billion as damages for the publication.”
