The judgment affected stories published by the online medium against Saraki between September and December of 2015. The Senate President had, through his lawyer, Babatunde Olomu, asked for the intervention of the court following the publication of series of libellous stories against him by Sahara Reporters.
Both Sowore and Sahara Reporters were joined as defendants in the suit marked as KWS/23/2017. Olomu told newsmen that the defendants had refused to defend the case despite the service of the summons on them.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Adeyinka Oyinloye of the court agreed with Olomou and granted all the reliefs sought by the claimant in the case.
Good move...sahara reporters are known for their controversial n contradictory stories

ReplyDeleteLet me add here that a court judgement is not a final decision. Why was the court situated or the case was heard in Ilorin, the home state of your scandal filled and corrupt senate president? Sahara reporters are just doing their job and they will appeal the kangaroo judgement by the also corrupt judges we have in Nigeria today who can sell their years of study and dignity with stolen and blood money.I guess Nigeria and some Nigerians are so used to these rogues called senators that they just believe they haven't done anything wrong.
