Court slams N30 million damages against Linda Ikeji

Linda Ikeji
 
 
A Delta State High Court sitting in Effurun has awarded a sum of N30 million as general damage against Linda Ikeji over her libelous publication against the Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa.

 

Addressing newsmen shortly after the court’s proceedings, lead counsel to the Claimants, Mr Kelvin Agbroko said that it was a well deserved judgement.

“This will serve as lesson to bloggers that it is not every item you published. It is good to verify information before making a publication.

 

 

“NBM of Africa is a legal organisation duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). 

“The publication made by the defendant against my client has been cleared that is was a damaging publication.

“NBM is good to go, we are going to take all necessary steps to enforce the terms of the judgement against her.

 

“Do not try and defame peoples character. NBM has nothing to do with cultism, black axe. It is not a criminal organisation but a well registered organisation,” he said.

Kakor, however, advised the public to be law abiding and do things within the ambits of the law. 

The defendant was not present in court neither was she represented.
