Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a prominent lawyer and human rights activist, has filed a lawsuit at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja against Vincent Dike, the President-General of the Oraifite Improvement Union (OIU) in Anambra State.

Ejiofor, who is the lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is demanding N50 billion in damages from Dike.

Both Ejiofor and Dike are from the same community in Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The lawsuit, with case number CV/1224/24, was filed on Monday, February 12 by Chinwe Umeche, Esq, the Head of Chambers/Managing Partner in the chambers of I.C. Ejiofor (Ugochinyere Chambers).

According to Ejiofor, Dike made false and defamatory statements against him during a meeting with members of the Oraifite community at the Oraifite Civic Center on February 4.

Despite being served a notice to retract the statements, Dike refused to do so, leading Ejiofor to seek legal redress.

Among the reliefs sought by Ejiofor are a full retraction of the defamatory publication by Dike in at least three national newspapers, a written undertaking from Dike not to publish any further libel against him, a compensatory payment of N50 billion as general damages, and the cost of the suit, which amounts to N100 million.

The case is yet to be assigned a date for hearing.
