on the 19th June, 2024, vide its website- http://guardian.ng made an utterly false and defamatory publication titled “Kanu condemns killing of soldiers by IPOB”, of and concerning our Client. The said defamatory publication which link is attached herewith, has been widely circulated and read across the globe. https://guardian.ng/kanu-condemns-killing-of-soldiers-by-ipob/… The Guardian Nigeria and the author of the defamatory publication, one James Agberebi, stated as follows: “Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has condemned the killing of six soldiers by the group and the Eastern Security Network (ESN)” “The six soldiers came under attack by the IPOB group and its military arm, ESN, at Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Area (LGA), adjourning Aba Metropolis”. The foregoing statements and their apparent or intended meanings are utterly and inherently false in every material particular; and both The Guardian Nigeria and the author of the defamatory publication knew them to be so. Yet, The Guardian Nigeria mischievously and maliciously published same for obvious unsalutary reasons, to ridicule and denigrate our Client. We therefore have our Client’s firm instruction to demand as follows: 1. That you immediately pull down the defamatory and false publication from your website- http://guardian.ng and publish a full and immediate retraction of the utterly false and libelous publication made on the 19th June, 2024, within 12hours, from the receipt of this letter. 2. That you publish an express, unambiguous and unqualified apology to our Client via the same http://guardian.ng website, through which the defamatory publication was made. TAKE NOTICE that if at the expiration of 12 (twelve) hours from the time of receipt of this letter which shall be served on you vide your Facebook and X verified accounts; you fail, refuse and/or neglect to comply with the modest demands made herein, we shall not hesitate to call in aid all known and available instrumentality of the law, in the circumstance of this grave infraction against our Client; and we shall do this without any further recourse to you. Let wise counsel prevail. Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq. (KSC) IPOB’s Lead Counsel 20th June, 2024.
