Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Dr. Fabian Benjamin has dragged Brekeke Family host, Ahmed Isah, to court in a libel suit.<\/p>\n

The Head of Public Relations, Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB), accused Isah of false allegations.<\/p>\n

The spokesman said an injurious broadcast against him last year amounted to defamation of character.<\/p>\n

The other respondent is Premier Broadcasting Ltd (owners of Human Rights Radio 101.1FM) of Plot 1184, Kaura District, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The suit, No. CV\/3211\/2021, filed by Barrister Chris Alashi is before Justice A. O. Ebong of the FCT High Court in Gwagwalada.<\/p>\n

Benjamin wants N6billion as compensation for general damages, libellous and malicious broadcast by 1st defendant (radio station), anchored by 2nd defendant, Isah.<\/p>\n

The claimant recalled that on April 16, 2021, Isah, while on air, telephoned him, impugned, maligned and discredited his integrity and reputation as JAMB PRO and an academic.<\/p>\n

He informed the court Isah accused him of forging his Ph.D certificate and being insane, incompetent, unscrupulous and sadistic.<\/p>\n

Benjamin said Isah told the public that his \u201cbad behaviour and arrogance\u201d were acquired from his parents and there was no solution to it.<\/p>\n

February 14, 2022, has been fixed as the date of hearing of the suit.<\/p>\n

Isah is not new to controversies. In May 2021, he trended for assaulting a woman during an interview.<\/p>\n
