The Supreme Court has fixed May 27 for judgement in a N6 billion defamation suit filed by a former Governor of Rivers State, Peter Odili against a former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dakuku Peterside.
Recall that former Governor Peter Odili had in October 2016, taken Peterside to court demanding N6 billion as damages for character defamation.
In the suit, the former Rivers State governor claimed that Peterside during a press conference in Port Harcourt defamed him in his allegations that Governor Nyesom Wike’s Supreme Court victory was hatched by him.
