Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has petitioned the Anglican Church on the Peninsula in Lagos State over a statement by a church member describing him as deceitful and fake.The member alleged that Falana demanded 50 per cent of “demand promises” in a case between councillors in Anambra State and Governor Willie Obiano when the case was settled out of court.
Falana, through his lawyer, Malachy Ugwummadu, said the social media post against him was malicious and libellous.“You know or ought reasonably to know that the content of the said story already published about our client is false yet, you maliciously caused same to be published with the sole aim of bringing our client to disrepute.
“By your said publication, you persevered in your falsehood insisting that our client fleeced the Anambra State Councilors when he demanded and collected 50% of settlement out of court blackmailing and threatened them with a court action,” the petition partly reads.
