Former Imo State governor Achike Udenwa demands N5 billion in damages and a public apology from Kenneth Okonkwo over alleged defamatory remarks. Multiple reports say the demand is set out in a three-page letter dated June 11, 2026, addressed to Okonkwo and signed by Udenwa’s lawyer, Chief Soronnadi A. Njoku (SAN). The outlets report that the statements in question were made during a television programme, which Udenwa described as false, malicious and defamatory. Vanguard reports that Udenwa gives Okonkwo a seven-day ultimatum to retract the publication, while other coverage frames the request primarily as damages and an apology. The sources describe the letter as the basis for Udenwa’s complaint and his demand for redress, but they do not provide the full text of the alleged remarks. The reports do not indicate any court filing or outcome as of publication. Okonkwo’s response is not included in the provided excerpts.
