El-Rufai had in February sued Sani, demanding N500 million for alleged defamatory statement contained in a publication. Sani, in counter claim Statement in Abuja on Monday, said he is seeking compensation for an alleged libellous broadcast maliciously made against him by the governor during a live broadcast transmitted through a radio station in Kaduna.
He also prayed for an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the plaintiff either by himself, agents, aides, privies or through any persons, from repeating the said “offensive and libellous broadcast or similar broadcast or publication’’. The lawmaker further urged the court to make an order directing the governor to tender unreserved apology in writing. Sani said the apology should be broadcast on seven consecutive days on same channel that the governor made “the offensive broadcast, and published in conspicuous pages of four national newspapers.
He noted that the broadcast against him, which was in Hausa language, had affected his reputation, his political career and pitched his constituents against him. He prayed the court to dismiss the governor’s case as being “frivolous, reckless, lacking in merit, malafide and baseless altogether.
