He has sued Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who announced the list, seeking payment of N5billion damages. No date has been fixed for hearing the suit filed on Monday before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory. He is seeking N5billion damages for alleged defamation of character.
Dokpesi said the defendants allegedly sent his name as a looter to the United States Embassy, which in turn notified him on March 16 that his visa had been revoked. The US Embassy, he said, told him it was because his name was among a looters list submitted to it by the Federal Government.
The plaintiff said the publication of his name as a looter was malicious since he has not been convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction. Dokpesi prayed that the retraction and apology to him be published both in the social media and in newspaper and televisions stations. He is also praying for an order compelling the defendants, including Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN), to publish a full retraction of the defamatory publications and to apologise to him.

They should revoke the Visas of all the politicians in Nigeria because all of them are looters. Except few whose credibility should have been proved.

Many politicians carry diplomatic passports. I know there was a plan to withdraw them but I didn’t hear anything about it again.
ReplyDeleteI am not vouching for any politrickster but Dokpesi seems to be right here
ReplyDeleteA court should convict him first; that is the democracy I was taught.
AIT campaigned vigorously against Buhari and it seems to be payback time.
