A popular Lawyer and Developmental Activist, Barr. Temi Nuruddin Salami (SABO) and Others has given two conditions to a member of Offa Grammar School Old Students Association (OGSOSA), Luqman AbdulQadir(Alhaji) over defamation of character against him among others.
Recall that AbdulQadir had defamed Barr. Sabo and others on the group Whatsapp platform of OGSOSA 2000 set recently.
This is contained in a statement signed by Barr. Temi Salami Nuruddin (Sabo) and made available to Newsmen on Monday.
The statement captured a reconciliatory meeting initiated by OGSOSA Executives led by the President, Mrs. Funmilayo Kachiro which commenced around 8:20pm and ended 12.45pm was focused on resolving the defamatory issue but AbdulQadir couldn’t substantial his utterance with fact.
“We want to state specifically that LUQMAN ABDULQADIR (Alhaji) couldn’t establish anything against Barr. Temi Salami Nuruddin (Sabo) when he was asked to justify his claims. Since he said on Ogsosa2000 set WhatsApp platform, that he has plethora of evidence to back his claims. He also denied that he never libel SABO as “untrustworthy”.
His action was condemned by Ogsosa president and every other participant at the meeting. LUQMAN ABDULQADIR (Alhaji) also couldn’t justify his wide allegations against ABDULSALAM LUKMAN (Atinga).
The lawyer has given AbdulQadir two conditions to avoid a suit for criminal defamation of character after Mrs. Funmilayo Kachiro president (Ogsosa 2000 set) begged on his behalf.
“Barr. T.N.S (SABO) requested AbdulQadir to write a letter of attraction addressed to him or seek redress in court for criminal defamation of character.
On his part, Mr. ABDULSALAM LUQMAN has requested AbdulQadir to send another voice note on OGSOSSA 2000 set platform to retract his defamatory statement against him.
The statement added “we have confidence that LUQMAN ABDULQADIR will meet those conditions in 3 days to avoid legal action against him”.
