“SHOCKING ₦8 BILLION DRAMA: PETER OBI DRAGS KENNETH OKONKWO TO COURT OVER EXPLOSIVE TV COMMENTS!”

In a legal showdown that has set political and media circles buzzing, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has stormed the High Court of Anambra State with a massive ₦8 billion defamation suit against actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo.

Court filings dated June 25, 2026, reveal that Obi is accusing Okonkwo of making allegedly damaging and malicious remarks during a fiery appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, with the comments later spreading rapidly across YouTube and social media.

According to the suit, Obi claims the statements brutally attacked his reputation, integrity, political image, and public standing, prompting his legal team, led by Chief Alex Ejesieme (SAN), to demand heavy damages and sweeping corrective actions.

The breakdown of the staggering claim includes:

* ₦5 billion for alleged general reputational damage
* ₦2 billion for aggravated damages, citing repeated amplification of the claims
* ₦1 billion in exemplary damages for what Obi describes as deliberate persistence even after legal warnings

But the former governor is not stopping at money. He is also demanding a public retraction and apology across television, YouTube, social media platforms, and three national newspapers. In addition, he wants all disputed content deleted and a court order permanently restraining further alleged defamatory remarks.
