Adoke drags Dino Melaye to court in N10billion libel suit

Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, has filed a N10 billion libel suit against the Executive Secretary of Anti-Corruption Network, Mr. Dino Melaye.

Adoke is accusing the member of the House of Representatives and his group of discrediting him through publication of defamatory articles in both a Nigerian-based newspaper as well as an online news medium.

The AGF said the publications quoted a letter sent by Anti-Corruption Network to President Goodluck Jonathan complaining of his (Adoke’s) alleged abuse of power, while asking the president to sack him.

ACN alleged that Adoke had on December 2012, disclosed that the police killed 7,106 persons extra-judicially in four years, out of which 2,000 were detainees and suspects.

The letter further questioned what the AGF did to ensure that drug convicts sent to prison in Lagos, did their terms since the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency,NDLEA, is under his ministry.

The petitioners were said to have also stated that a former Managing Director of a bank, who was convicted of fraud by a Federal High Court and was also asked to forfeit over N150 billion in cash and assets, had entered into plea bargain with the AGF in his office and till date, nothing had been heard regarding the money.

In the meantime, no date has been fixed for the hearing.
