A suit by Hon. Dakuku Peterside seeking to set aside N6 billion damages awarded against him for defaming a former Governor of Rivers State, Dr Peter Odili has been dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The court in its ruling dismissed the appeal by the former Director General of NIMASA for want of merit.
A fine of N6 billion imposed on Peterside by the lower courts to be paid to Odili as compensation was upheld by the Supreme Court.
Odili had dragged Dakuku to court for claiming that Governor, Wike’s victory at the Supreme Court was procured by him through his wife, Justice Mary Odili.
