“Aggravated damages in the sum of N10,000,000,000.00 (Ten Bilion Naira) for the malicious and reckless publication of false statements by the Defendant.

“An order directing the Defendant to publish a full retraction of the defamatory statements in two national newspapers and on the Defendant’s Twitter/X account within 7 days of the court’s judgment.

“An order directing the Defendant to publish a public apology to the Plaintiff in two national newspapers and on the Defendant’s Twitter/X

defamatory or prejudicial statements about the Plaintiff without lawful justification.

“Costs of this action, including legal fees and expenses incurred by the Plaintiff.

“Interest on all monetary awards at the rate of l0% per annum from the date of judgment until full payment.”

Commenting on the legal action, Ejimakor wrote on X: “Yesterday, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commenced a muscular legal action against RENO OMOKRI (@renoomokri), seeking a retraction, apology & damages for Omokri’s highly defamatory & prejudicial publications against Mazi Kanu, IPOB & #Ndigbo.
