AIT Replies Tinubu's Threat to Sue, Demands N100bn Damages
Category: Nigerian National News
In its reaction, Mike Ozekhome’s chambers 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.

AIT has replied Bola Tinubu's threat to sue over a documentary titled “Unmasking The Real Tinubu” being transmitted on the TV channel.
You recall that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had threatened to sue the channel owners for airing the documentary which he said was defamatory “in all respects.” In a letter dated March 2, 2015, to the management of DAAR Communications Limited, owners of AIT, Tinubu gave the organization 24 hours to apologize and retract the publication.
Well, AIT is now out with their own reply. Read their statement below....
Daar Communications Plc has reacted and 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.
