AIT Replies Tinubu, Demands N100bn Damages

Daar Communications Plc has rejected in their entirety the demands of
Tunji Abayomi and co on behalf of Bola Tinubu over a documentary
titled "Unmasking The Real Tinubu" transmitted on African Independent
Television, AIT, according to a publication on its website.

The demands, which Mike Ozekhome's chambers describe as laughable,
include the stoppage of further transmission of the alleged defamatory
documentary, failure which daar communications will be made to pay
twenty billion Naira representing damages.

In its reaction, Mike Ozekhome's chambers on behalf on behalf of DAAR
communications declares that AIT, in transmitting the documentary was
only carrying out its constitutional responsibility to uphold the
fundamental objectives of the constitution.

It states further that the documentary merely stated that Bola Tinubu
generally breached various portions of the Nigerian constitution.

DAAR communications plc is therefore demanding a complete withdrawal
of the letter under reference, which must be given wide publicity as
that accorded the letter from the chambers of Tunji Abayomi.

The media company demands an apology to be published in at least four
leading national newspapers and four television stations, which must
include NTA, Channels and AIT.

The sum of one hundred billion Naira representing aggravated, punitive
and exemplary damages for the irreparable injury inflicted on AIT is
also being demanded.
