A High Court sitting in Benin City has dismissed a
500 million naira libel suit instituted by the
Chairman, Board of Trustees of the People's Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih against the Chief Press Secretary to Edo State Governor and the Edo State Broadcasting Service[EBS]. The court refused the prayers of Chief Anenih to declare that a press release issued on behalf of the state government in 2010 was libellous and therefore refused the prayer for 500 million naira damages, amongst others.
