Gani Adams asks court to strike out Igboho’s N500m defamation suit
Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams has asked an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan to strike out the suit filed against him by Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, over alleged defamation of character.
Igboho in the suit is seeking an order compelling the defendant to pay N500 million as aggravated damages over the alleged leaked audio conversation, which he claimed impugned his reputation.
However, in a motion filed by Adam’s counsel, Oluwole Kehinde, he is praying the court to strike out the suit.
Adams in an affidavit in support of the motion, deposed to by one Michael Oluwanmi Okunore also asked the court to strike out the suit for it failure to follow due process.
Adams averred that the claimant’s writ of summons in the suit does not have the required mandatory endorsement that it was for service outside Oyo State and in Lagos State.
