Linda Ikeji Mocks Lawyer To Prepare For Appeal And Countersue As Court Slams Her With 25Million Libel Compensation

An article cited “Mrs. Ajibola Ajayi as having described protesting students of the

Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, as a “generation of mannerless children” in an Instagram post with the username “conceited_csj”.

The Law Firm, Olaniwun Ajayi LP ,  came on Twitter to celebrate its win and Linda Ikeji came to the comment section to threaten that she is suing the law firm and appealing the case.

Read their words below:

In the judgment delivered on 12.04.2022, the Court held that the publication by Ms. Ikeji was false and malicious and that the evidence before the Court showed that the Defendant knew that the Instagram account with the username “conceited_csj” did not belong to the Claimant.

The Court further held that the publication was made available to readers worldwide which exposed the Claimant to ridicule by members of the public who read the offending article.

In reiterating the trite principle of law that libel is actionable per se, the Court awarded general and exemplary damages in the sum of N25,000,000.00 (Twenty-Five Million Naira) against Ms. Linda Ikeji and directed Ms. Ikeji to publish a written apology to the Claimant…

The Claimant was represented in the action by our Ogunmuyiwa Balogun; and it is our belief that with Judgments like this, media outfits and members of the public will verify sources of their information ahead of publication.

It is better for you to apologize to the law firm openly and delete your tweet. Get a seasoned lawyer to help you out. Look for the meaning of “GARNiSHEE PROCEEDING”
