Oshiomhole To Get N25m In Libel Suit Against Editor Of News Of The People Magazine

A High Court sitting in Benin, Edo State, on Wednesday, awarded Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole N25m as compensation in a libel suit the governor instituted against Doclands Communications, publishers of News of the People magazine and its editor.

Oshiomhole had dragged the magazine to court over a report that he allegedly impregnated a student of the state-owned Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.

The trial Judge, Justice Efe Ikponmwoba, in his verdict also ordered that the defendant published a retraction in an edition of its publication.

Justice Ikponmwoba held that evidence adduced by the governor proved that the magazine’s publication was libelous.
