Akpabio To Sue David Hundeyin, Demands A Retraction

Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and his wife, Mrs Ekaete Akpabio, have threatened to sue investigative journalist David Hundeyin for linking them with the killers of Iniobong Umoren.
Recall that, in a letter dated May 12, 2021, Akpabio and his wife denied owning Davok Suites, one of the locations connected to the crime in David Hundeyin’s investigation in which he reportedly analysed the telephone calls of the prime suspect in the murder case, Akpan.
The letter titled, ‘Publication Of False And Defamatory Statements Against His Excellency, Sen. (Dr.) Godswill Obot Akpabio And Her Excellency, Mrs Ekaete Unoma Akpabio: Demand For Immediate Retraction And An Apology’ was served Hundeyin through their lawyer, Otobong Inyang of Star Attorneys.

“We hasten to make a point that assuming (though without conceding) that Kufre Effiong is a staff of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and/or one of its contractors, Senator Akpabio does not know, has never met and has never had any contact whatsoever with him. Neither Sen Godswill Akpabio nor his wife, Mrs Ekaette Akpabio had anything whatsoever to do with the horrific death of Iniobong Umoren.
“Secondly, neither Davok Suites (which is a corpate entity) nor the land housing it belongs to Mrs Ekaete Akpabio. Indeed, a proper search at the Corporate Affairs Commission would have disclosed to you that Mrs Ekaete Akpabio is neither one of the Directors nor Shareholders of Davok Suites”, it added.

Akpabio and his wife, therefore, demanded an immediate retraction of the publication and an unreserved public apology, adding that failure to act within two weeks of receipt of the letter would attract a lawsuit.TRENDING VIDEO OF OTHE DAY: #FreeBabaIjesha – Yomi Fabiyi Stages Protest At Panti
