According to the suit, both defendants made highly defamatory publications in
several online blogs and other social media platforms “calculated to reduce the
estimation of the claimant” and damage his reputation in the public.

published by the defendants in at least two national daily newspapers circulating in
Nigeria and social media platforms” as well as an order of perpetual injunction
