The Federal High Court in Lagos has restrained Daar Communications Plc (AIT) from broadcasting any video documentaries against All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice-Presidential candidate Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).
According to Thisday,the order by Justice James Tsoho was made on Wednesday has been extended to all other broadcast stations under the control of the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria including NTA
The application was brought before the court by Osinbajo through his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN)..
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria had complained to the court that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, having adjudged him a threat, sponsored the documentaries to cause him disaffection in the eye of the public.
AIT and NTA had, for weeks running, aired a documentary detailing the “atrocious” past of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). AIT also had a similar documentary on a national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, chronicling his series of alleged financial misconduct.
Osinbajo maintained that the said documentaries, which allegedly contained untrue information and injurious falsehoods, constitute a personal attack on his person.
He argued that the videos were being aired in violation of his fundamental human right to dignity of human person, right to privacy and family virtue and right to life and/or livelihood, as protected by sections 33, 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

ReplyDeleteI don't see osinbajo as a threat because he is not a presidential aspirant but v.p.He is not even the vp cos he will resign for apc godfather to become the vp just like the arrangement between pastor tunde bakare and apc godfathers when they asked him to resign after he become the vp.The battle for who will control the crude oil still rages on.
ReplyDeleteShould election campaign be on disaffection, injurious documentary? No, it can't be and should not. Campaign should be on party manifesto and how it will tackle challenges.
ReplyDeleteThose documentaries were not formed overnight, those are tagged sins of the past, people have already seen them, it's rather too late... GEJ 2019...!!!
