Governor Otti Sues Lawyer for Defamation, Demands N100bn

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has taken legal action against a former commissioner and lawyer, Hon. Barr Eze Chikamnayo, demanding N100 billion for defamation. Chikamnayo allegedly defamed Otti on Facebook by calling him 'Otthief' and accusing him of corruption.

The governor's counsel emphasized that the statements were false and aimed at tarnishing Otti's image. Otti is seeking a full retraction, public apology, and a halt to further attacks.

The legal action highlights the impact of social media defamation on public figures and the measures taken to protect reputations in the digital age.
