Chairman of DAAR Communication Plc, Chief Raymond Dokpesi has agreed to
tender and unreserved apology to the National Leader of the All
Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu over a documentary aired
on the Africa Independent Television, AIT, during the 2015 General
elections.
The Documentary dubbed “Lion of Burdillion” had irked the APC leader who
swiftly sued DAAR Communications for libel.
However, the APC leader has rather agreed to accept an unreserved apology
from DAAR Communication PLc and Chief Raymond Dokepsi as settlement for
the libellous documentary “Lion of Burdillion” aired on Africa Independent
Television, AIT.
Lawyer to Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun and Dokpesi’s counsel Mike Ezekhome
Friday presented the terms of settlement reached on 29 January, 2016
before the trial court Justice Iyabo Akinkugbe.
The terms of agreement include among other things, a retraction of the
broadcast by AIT, an apology by AIT, which should be aired daily for a
quarter.
The trial court subsequently adopted the terms of settlement.
