Nnamdi Kanu sues Malami for allegedly saying he jumped bail, demands N20bn

 The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has filed an N20 billion suit against the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

 

In the lawsuit filed by his counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu said that the AGF defamed him when he claimed that he jumped bail, and had asked for N20bn for damages. This fresh suit comes barely four days after the initial N20bn suit filed by Kanu against Malami was discontinued.

The first suit dated September 23, had sought “a declaration that the defendant’s arrest and imprisonment of the plaintiff (Kanu) at a location in Kenya and the subsequent imprisonment of the plaintiff in the aircraft that conveyed him from Kenya to Nigeria amounted to false arrest and false imprisonment.”

 

The suit was contained in a letter sent to Malami titled, “RE: Pre-action notice and formal demand for settlement of the claim of defamation/libel of the character of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu grounded on your false, defamatory and libelous publications that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu jumped bail.”

 

Kanu, through his lawyer, said Malami’s claim that he jumped bail despite a court order clearing him was libelous.

 

According to the letter, Kanu demanded;

“the sum of N20,000,000,000.00 (Twenty Billion Naira only) being general and exemplary damages. An unreserved personal letter of apology, to be prominently and boldly published full-page in two Nigerian Newspapers of national circulation, namely: Guardian Newspaper and Sun Newspaper.

You shall write and deliver to your superior officer(s) and/or your employer(s) a Legal Opinion to the effect that our Client did not jump bail given the 19th January 2022 Judgment of the High Court of Abia State.”
