Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has filed a N2 billion defamation lawsuit against the immediate past Head of Service of the state, George Nweke, and Channels Television.

Ehie is urging the court, presided over by Justice Stephen Jumbo, to award the sum as damages in his favour.

This follows a televised interview of Nweke on Channels Television on March 29, which Ehie claims was baseless, malicious, and falsely published in a most wicked manner.


When the matter came up in court on Thursday, Ehie’s counsel, Tuduru Edeh, SAN, sought a perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, whether by themselves, their agents, privies, servants, or any other representatives, from further publishing or disseminating the said defamatory content.

The plaintiff’s counsel also prayed the court to compel the defendants to immediately retract the publication and issue a public apology to Ehie.

The apology, he requested, should be broadcast on Channels Television, another national television network, and published in two widely read newspapers across Nigeria.

Justice Jumbo, in ruling on the application, granted the orders and directed all parties in the suit to refrain from making further public comments on the matter, pending the determination of the case.

The matter was adjourned to June 4, 2025, for mention and further proceedings.
