Shehu Sani Sued By El-rufai For Defamation; Seek N2 Billion Compensation
Mallam Nasir El-rufai, Governor of Kaduna state, has filed a N2 billion suit against Senator Shehu Sani for libel.
The suit according to a reliable information was filed in a Kaduna State High court on Friday, seeking reliefs for injuries allegedly suffered as a result of “malicious statements” in the media by Senator Sani.
El-rufai among other things demands a public declaration from Senator Shehu Sani that the damaging remarks made against him were false.
The counsel to El-Rufai, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), in a chat with the press, shortly after filling the suit, dismissed insinuations that the governor, by virtue of his position did not have the constitutional right to sue any citizen.
