Author of the Documentary
"The Lion of Bourdillion" was not sued for libel by the
plaintiff Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT). Dokpesi/ DAAR Communications were the
publishers as distinct from the Author! Even lay people must know that a person
who writes a piece is an author distinct from a publisher the person who publishes
it to a third party, so the author here was and is not liable but one
vulnerable publisher BAT’s political pawn DAAR Communications. Because BAT
thinks harm to his reputation would heal from APC’s political victim DAAR
Dokpesi as the author or authors of the said documentary are free of any
liability whatsoever.
The plaintiff
Jagaban Big Ego who demanded a retraction from one of the publishers whilst the
author goes scot free may have been fooled. Now how the word “retraction” was
mocked by that half-witted exercise.
