I’m Not Aware Of Any Legal Action Against Me – Alex Eyengho

[Shola Sholaz]

Meanwhile, reacting to the legal action instituted against him, ANCOP President, Alex Eyengho claimed that he is yet to receive any summons or notice that a lawsuit has been instituted against him.
.
According to him, "As I'm speaking to you now(Wednesday evening), I have not been served with any court summons.
.
In fact, I'm not aware of any legal action instituted against me. Is it in the pages of newspapers that they are suing me for libel. The matter before the Police is a criminal matter and not a civil one.
.
If they are found wanting, they will go in for it. But on the issue of libel, if they claimed that I libelled them, they have to prove it before the court of law how I libelled them."
.
Continuing, he added, "On my own part, I will remind them that proof is a defense in the case of libel. And if I can prove that they diverted the N50 million into their private pockets for private uses other than the purpose for which Akpabio gave out the grant, then it's a defense. We will meet in court. But they should please serve me with the court summons in time so that my lawyers can file in a counter claim too."

It's strange the way people are not aware of certain things happening to them nowadays.
It should be the other way round.
