The petition titled “Publication Of Defamatory Material By Linda Ikeji” was made available to DailyPost Thursday morning.
Isibor, a Barrister and Solictor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, was referring to a publication on Monday, February 9, 2015 where the Spokesman was reportedly booed out of a platform while addressing some Nigerians, and insisting that Gen. Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress was not electable. In the video, Okupe was abruptly interrupted with the shout of APC.
Reacting to the report, Okupe’s lawyers said “the article contained a video which has been taken out in a manner designed to cause our client embarrassment. humiliation and lowering of his assessment and standing in the eyes of his employers and the general public.”
The Chamber, therefore, demanded the immediate removal of the “very misleading post” within 48 hours and as well an apologise to Dr, Okupe.
However, a check on Linda Ikeji’s blog shows she has removed the post.
She is yet to write an apology as demanded by the latter.
An aide in the office of the presidential aide told Fidelis Chidi blog that despite the post’s retraction, nothing short of apology will make Dr Okupe drop the matter.
