Ondo State Commissioner for Finance, Omowunmi Isaac, sues 35 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging libel over a prior publication linked to a Nigerian Tribune article, according to reports. The commissioner asks the court for damages and a public apology, contending that the publication defames her. Punch reports that the suit names 35 APC elders and seeks damages in the amount of ₦5 billion, framing the action as a response to what the commissioner describes as defamatory content. Legit.ng similarly reports that Isaac drags the 35 APC leaders to court for libel and outlines that she is seeking both monetary damages and a public apology. The accounts indicate that the case centers on the alleged false and damaging statements attributed to the publication, rather than on criminal charges. The reports do not provide additional details on the court’s hearing date or the specific language in the contested publication, but they agree on the parties involved and the core legal basis of the claim: alleged defamation through publication.
