Brenda Ataga Demands N1 Billion Compensation From Naijaloaded Over Malicious Reports

Brenda Ataga, wife of the slain Super TV CEO, Mr. Usifo Ataga has asked the management of Naijaloaded Blog for a sum of N1 billion as compensation for the publication of libelous and malicious reports against her person.

Brenda, also, asked the online platform to pull down the report from the website and retract the damaging report through its medium and other online news outlets.

She made these demands in a letter dated June 28 and addressed to the Managing Director of the online medium, Mr. Makinde Azeez through her counsel, Chief Charles Uwensuyi-Edosomwan (SAN).

Ataga, also a director in Super Network Limited, was recently found dead in a pool of blood at a short service apartment at Lekki Phase 1, Lagos state shortly after his family declared him missing.

Subsequently, the Lagos State Police Command arrested a 21-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Chidinma Ojukwu for allegedly killing the late CEO.

The command had also claimed that the suspect was caught with a blood-soaked cloth worn on the day of the incident and confessed to stabbing the deceased with a kitchen knife after a struggle.

Chidinma, at a parade at the police command in Ikeja, had confessed that she and Ataga were “having fun” when an argument broke out and she stabbed him twice.

But in its report published on June 26, Naijaloaded had fingered Brenda in the murder of her husband, citing her relationship with the suspect through Brenda’s boyfriend.

In her letter of claim, however, Brenda described the report published by the online platform as a callous, malicious and mindless attack on the personality of their client.

The lawyer stated that the publication described his client as a conniving criminal that was part of the plans that killed her husband, father of her children, a most heinous cunning act.

The letter, which described the report as false, hinted that it labelled Mrs Ataga who is a wife, mother and highly placed official of the Nigerian government as a loose woman and a flirt, carrying on extra marital affairs with another Mr. Izu.

The letter demanded that the story be immediately pulled down from the website of Naijaloaded online, while calling for a complete retraction of the damaging story, to be carried first in online platform news blogs and other online news outlets.

The letter read in part: “A properly worded unreserved apology for the libel published in your news blog, two national television stations including Channels Television Network and three National newspapers including The Punch newspaper.

“That you pay the sum of N1, 000, 000, 000 (One Billion Naira) through our office to our client as pecuniary compensation for your reckless and mindless injury to her vide the published defamatory materials aforesaid.

“If at the end of 14 days from the date of this letter, any of the listed demands still stands unfulfilled, we would proceed on our full instructions to initiate steps to bring the full consequences of your recklessness in the aforementioned publications to you.

“In that case, all costs, fees and charges necessary for our client to redeem her image and recover her damaged character and credit would be on your account.”

PDP Crisis: ‘I Am Not Your Mate’ – Okupe Scolds Wike

A former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, has slammed Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, declaring himself a leader and senior to the incumbent governor.

Okupe was reacting to a recent public attack on Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the main opposition party.

Naija News reports that Governor Wike had during the last weekend described Secondus as a serial liar and one that could not be taken for his words.

Secondus, who also attended the event, stormed out after delivering his speech wherein he talked about character and good leadership.

Reacting in a series of post on his Twitter page, Okupe asked the Rivers State Governor to apologise for his outburst.

The former presidential aide described Wike’s statement as reckless, indecent, irresponsible and unacceptable.

“I have observed that there are too many anomalies and practices which are alien to party politics which are being thrown to the upcoming young ones as the norm,” Okupe wrote.

In another post later, Okupe said he has the right to call derailing members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to order as a senior member of the party.

Okupe who was a former aide under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan boasted that Wike is not his contemporary in politics.

“I believe I have the right and the merit to call our members to order irrespective of their status in the party,” Okupe stated in a statement he shared on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter.

According to the PDP chieftain, those who can wade shoulders with him in politics in Rivers State are the likes of Peter Odili, Rufus Ada George and not Wike, adding that he is a leader and senior to the current governor.

Okupe added: “For a fact, my contemporaries in the political hierarchy of Rivers State are former Govs Rufus Ada George and Peter Odili. So I am a senior and leader to our indefatigable Gov Wike politically.

“Therefore, I consider it a duty to intervene at this juncture,” he said.

Sunday Igboho’s Actions Are Political, Southwest Governors Hiding Him – Miyetti Allah Alleges

A faction of Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria known popularly as Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has alleged that actions of wanted Yoruba Nation agitator and activist, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho are political.
The group in a statement on Monday by it’s spokesperson, Saleh Alhassan, stated that all Southwest governors know Sunday Igboho’s whereabouts and are hiding him.

Society gazette understands that Alhassan stated this in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH.

Donald Ojogo, an aide to the Chairman of South-West Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has though countered this claim, saying it is demeaning for the governors to respond to Miyetti Allah’s accusation.

Recall that the Department of State Services on July 1, 2021, invaded Igboho’s Ibadan residence in Oyo State where they killed two of his aides, arrested and detained 13 others following a gun battle.

Igboho, a spearhead of the separatist agitation for the Yoruba nation, escaped the bloody raid and was subsequently declared wanted by the secret police on allegations of stockpiling arms to destabilise the country, which he has since denied.

Igboho whereabout has, however, remain unknown since the incident.

The Yoruba nation agitator had gained popularity in January, following his eviction notice to suspected killer herders in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State, had since been unknown.

Speaking with The PUNCH on Monday, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore spokesman said the DSS should have raided Igboho’s house earlier than it did.

Alhassan implored Sunday Igboho to turn himself in to security operatives because he would be forcefully apprehended.

He said, “It is in his (Igboho) own best interest if he submits himself peacefully so that he can face justice. Why is he running? Is he not a revolutionary? He should submit himself before they get him because as it is now, he has been declared wanted, he should present himself to the nearest police station.”

He said added that “All his (Igboho’s) actions are political; he is being used. His godfathers in the South-West should bring him out.

“The security agencies are speaking the language he understands, they will get him. I know the governors are hiding him but they (security agents) will get him.

“The (Nigerian) State has declared him wanted. He is not more than the state. The governors keeping him should produce him.”

“He declared a republic; that was a rebellion. How can you be threatening the sovereignty of the (Nigerian) State and you still have the guts to be walking around and be organising rallies?” Alhassan queried.
