Mr. Uche Secondus has filed a lawsuit against the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr. Lai Mohammed, for defamation of character.
Secondus had threatened to take legal actions against Mohammed when he released a list containing names of alleged treasury looters of which the PDP chairman’s name was among.
According to the list, Secondus received N200million from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
He (Secondus) has since denied the allegation and asked Mohammed to immediately retract his name on the list and demanded a public apology, plus payment of N1.5 billion damages within 48 hours.
He also claimed that the list published by the minister was defamatory and urged the court to direct Mohammed to retract the said publication and apologise in writing.
Secondus demanded that the retraction and apology is published on all social media platforms and other media organisations where it was earlier publicised and broadcasted.
He further asked the court for a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from further publishing defamatory materials against him.
