Ex-Guber Candidate Demands N20bn, Apology from Wike Over Defamation
Tony Cole, a 2023 governorship candidate in River State, is demanding N20 billion in damages and a public apology from Nyesom Wike, former governor of River State. Cole's lawyer accused Channel Television of airing malicious and unfounded statements against Cole, damaging his reputation.
The allegations stem from an interview where Wike accused Cole of being involved in stealing resources from the state. Cole's legal team is calling for a full retraction of the interview and a removal from all platforms.
