According to the reports, Obi is seeking damages amounting to N8 billion, claiming that remarks allegedly made by Okonkwo were defamatory and harmful to his reputation.
The development marks a significant escalation in the public disagreement between the two political figures, who were once seen as allies within Nigeria’s opposition political landscape.
Sources familiar with the matter claim that Kenneth Okonkwo has already been served with court documents and is expected to respond to the allegations before the court.
The reported Peter Obi defamation suit is said to require Okonkwo to provide evidence supporting the claims he allegedly made against the former Anambra State governor.
