Court orders AIT,NTA from airing damaging documentary on Osibanjo

The Federal High Court in Lagos has
restrained Daar Communications Plc (AIT) from broadcasting any video documentaries against All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice-Presidential candidate Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).

According to Thisday,the order by
Justice James Tsoho was made on
Wednesday has been extended to all
other broadcast stations under the
control of the Broadcasting
Organisation of Nigeria including NTA

The application was brought before the court by Osinbajo through his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN)..
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria had
complained to the court that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, having adjudged him a threat, sponsored the documentaries to cause him disaffection in the eye of the public.

AIT and NTA had, for weeks running,
aired a documentary detailing the
“atrocious” past of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). AIT also had a similar documentary on a national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, chronicling his series of
alleged financial misconduct.
Osinbajo maintained that the said
documentaries, which allegedly
contained untrue information and
injurious falsehoods, constitute a
personal attack on his person.
He argued that the videos were being aired in violation of his fundamental human right to dignity of human person, right to privacy and family virtue and right to life and/or livelihood, as protected by sections 33, 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution.
