The Ondo State Commissioner for Finance, Mrs Omowunmi Isaac, and Kunle Odide have instituted a ₦5 billion defamation suit against 35 elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over an allegedly libellous publication. He explained that the 35 defendants were APC leaders and elders from Owo Local Government Area of the state. Olawoye said the claimants subsequently applied to correct defects in their court processes, an application the defendants did not oppose. “The crux of their action is that I wrote a letter to the national chairman of our great party, APC. According to the lawyer, the publication portrayed the finance commissioner as exercising improper influence over the Ondo State Governor.
