Ghen.. Ghen... Tinubu threatens to sue AIT

Yes oo... the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has threatened to sue the management of Daar Communications Limited, owners of the Africa Independent Television (AIT) for the defamatory content of a documentary aired on Sunday.
His counsel Mr. Tunji Abayomi has, through a letter delivered to Daar Communications yesterday afternoon, asked the organisation to apologise for the content and stop its airing.
The letter reads in part: “…You aired an hour-long documentary focussing on our client (Bola Tinubu). Clearly pre-occupied with political resentment and hatred neither warranted, necessary, proper, or justified, you published several false allegations against our client… More
disturbing is your misrepresentation that the said documentary was “sponsored” without disclosing the
“sponsors”. You cannot under law hide under media freedom to maliciously injure a citizen’s reputation”.
The letter also demanded N20 billion as cost of damage done to the reputation of Asiwaju Tinubu, failing which the client will sue the company.
“To affirm the right of our client against your defamatory publication, we demand that you confirm to us within 24 hours of receipt of this letter, an apology and retraction of the said publication/documentary,” the letter added.
