An Abuja High Court is set to deliver judgment in defamation suits filed by security operatives against SERAP, a Nigerian not-for-profit. Premium Times reports that the State Security Service (SSS) brings a N5 billion defamation claim against SERAP, saying the organisation falsely alleged that SSS operatives invaded its Abuja office in September 2024. The Punch similarly reports that an Abuja High Court is to deliver judgment in a separate but related defamation case involving operatives described as DSS, seeking N5.5 billion against SERAP over the same type of allegation: an alleged office invasion. Both reports point to the timing of the dispute, with the SSS case filed in October 2024. The outlets frame the matters as defamation claims tied to SERAP’s public assertions about the alleged intrusion. The specific court date and the final amount requested differ slightly between the reports, but they agree that SERAP is the defendant and that the claims concern alleged invasion of an Abuja office in September 2024. The court’s ruling is expected to determine liability and any related remedies.
