The national chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has sued Arise Television in court for alleged defamatory and slanderous comments made against him.
Abure in a suit before the High Court of Edo State by his counsel President Aigbokhan, Esq on Wednesday, January 18 2023, stated that he has been defamed more than twice by Arise TV.
The chairman stated that his attention was drawn to the television’s Morning Show interview granted to the former National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party Mr. Arabambi who has been sacked from the party.
“The claim of the chairman shows that the Television station broadcasted defamatory statement against him on 11th day of December 2022 through the interview of the party former publicity secretary without cross checking the facts with the party or inviting the party representative for such an interview,” a statement on Labour Party website said.
