[00:49:35]It's dated 13th May 2026 with address then sir re defamiratory publication concerning senator at I do Ali former letter of demand for retraction and apology. Introduction. We are attorneys acting on the instruction of Senator Ata Idoko Ali our client in respect of your program Brea family live program of 29th April 2026 and 8th May 2026 published on human rights radio 101.1 FM YouTube and other channels where you broadcast content that are defamatory of our clients. Two, as rightly stated in your broadcast of 29th April 2026, our client, a politician who has served two terms as a member of the House of Representatives and two terms as a senator and also an aston.

[00:50:43]In your broadcast of 20 29th April 2026 and 8th May 2026, you discussed a transaction of sales of land between our clients and a certain Dr. Ishara Habu.

[00:50:57]And in the course of the discussion, statements were particularly by Ahmed Isa and Benjamin Adamu about our clients that are damaging and injurious to his reputation.

[00:51:10]We therefore right to formally demand that you retract and apologize to our clients. The background. Our client sold a property in Gape to Dr. Ishara to Dr. Ishara Habu sometime in 2020 2012. Our client has never denied nor disputed the transaction. Next page.

[00:51:34]At the time at the time the transaction was negotiated and concluded it was understood that the original right of occupancy was missing. Hence there was a rebate on the price to accommodate the expense of processing a certified true copy of the right of occupancy which was to be undertaken by Dr. Ishahabu.

[00:51:58]Contrary to this understanding Dr. Isha Habu failed or refused to process the certified true copy of the right of occupancy and has desired our clients to bear responsibility for the processing of the right of occupancy. In the course of your program, it was stated by Dr. Ishara Habu and Samuel Akos that they verified the genuiness of the land from ages and visited the land before proceeding with the transaction. Dr. Isha Habu also stated that our client told them they told them they can go ahead and build showing that there was nothing fraudulent about the transaction. The above represents the summary of all that had transpired between Dr. Ishara and our client which led to him coming to your radio program.

[00:52:50]The facts in the course of your program on 29th April 2026 you Ahmed Isa stated concerning our client among amidst others that you know no say now extinguish in response to Dr. Ishara Habu's comment that he told his son that our client is a distinguished senator.

[00:53:13]Therefore when Dr. Isha Habu said that he told his son that he has been working with them members of the house of assembly since 2000. You >> assembly no members of the house of assembly >> now in there right?

[00:53:29]>> Yes sir.

[00:53:29]>> Not be national assembly. Okay, sorry.

[00:53:32]Members of the National Assembly sir sorry sir since 2000 you Ahmed Isa again responded that by then you suppose don't sab their character all of this statement imputing that our client is fraudulent and a person of question character after the above exchange you had stated what we talk I withdraw I apologize to distinguished senator Idoko suggest suggesting that you came to the realization that your comments concerning our client were promptly false and damaging to the person and reputation of our client. However, in what appears to be a twist on the same 29th April in the course of the program, Benjamin had demonstrated that I feel say in supposed get reputation where in go like protect and then Ahmed Isa went on to make the following statement. You think said this man they ready to release the land and also anybody where they close to former senator at Ali Idoko making tell him say the matter don't pass that level where he been give where he been give him an opportunity making cover him shame all of the above statements were understood by the millions of your audience to mean that our client was fraudulent in the transaction with Dr. or Ishabu. Next page.

[00:55:05]Further to the above, on the 8th of May 2026, Ahmed Isa stated concerning the response allegedly received from a certain of as coming from our client that now when the matter politician talk, you know, saying politician talk, know they go straight.

[00:55:25]This statement was understood to mean that the explanation allegedly coming from Ofedoor as coming from our client is not credible and reliable and that our client as a politician was being dishonest and deceitful.

[00:55:41]Ever since the broadcast of the program on 29th April 2026 and 8th May 2026, our client has been inuended with >> inundated >> inundated with calls from family members, friends, political associates, business partners, and well-wishes seeking to inquire as to his role in the alleged fraudulent transaction. As a result of the comments and insinuation created about our clients in your program, our client has been subjected to very traumatic experience and huge damage to his reputation as a result of comments and insinuation made about him in your program. our demand contrary to the impression created by in your program suggesting improper motive and fraud on the part of our clients in the transaction with Dr. Isha Habu. There is nothing fraudulent whatsoever about the transaction. The fact that the original right of occupancy of the land was missing was disclosed by our client from the inception of the transaction.

[00:56:54]Unfortunately, rectif family program has now been used as a platform to destroy the image and reputation of our clients on the basis of a transaction where full disclosure of all material facts were made by our clients. Consequently, we demand that one, you specifically retract the comments and statements made concerning our client as identified above. Two, you make a general retraction of your program of 29th April 20626 and 8th May 2026 as it concerns our clients. Three, you tender an apology to our clients for the defamatory statement made about our client. Four, the retraction and an apology which should be done within 7 days of the receipt of this letter of demand should be given the same publicity and prominence as your program of 29th April 2026 and May 8th May 2026. Next page.

[00:58:04]Take note that unless you comply with our demands as contained in paragraph 18 above, we shall proceed to seek legal redress on behalf of our clients and we shall claim the sum of 500 million naira against you for defamation and publication of retraction and apology in two widely circulating newspaper in Nigeria. In addition to the demand contained in paragraph 18 above, please accept the assurance of our professional regard. Thank you. FS Jamba, Esquire, principal partner.

Yes, my ordinary president, the issue of certified true copy is in section one 104 102 and even 105 of the evidence act and waiting in talk be say a second party fee process a certified true copy with um a letter of authorization or a power of attorney.
