Former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has
instituted a legal action against activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
Obi dragged Adeyanju before an Anambra State High Court
sitting in Onitsha for allegedly making baseless and defamatory remarks against
him.
He accused the lawyer of using his social media handles to
make scandalous, reckless and malicious statements against him.
In the suit, the former presidential candidate is asking the
court to other Adeyanju to tender an unreserved apology.
He also demanded the sum of N1 billion as general damages
and N500 million as exemplary damages.
Reacting, Adeyanju noted that Obi didn’t chicken out after
threatening to take legal action against him.
In a message he shared, Adeyanju wrote: “Finally, Peter Obi
has sued me. I am actually happy and relieved that he didn’t chicken out in the
end.
“Interestingly, he dragged me all the way to Anambra State,
even though he is almost always in Abuja where I reside. But no shaking, we
move.”
