In this regard, our client is willing to surrender himself to the police in order to ensure that this harmful untruth/malicious falsehood is seen as what it truly is.
“In the most likely that Lala Akindoju is not able to physically produce the name and face behind the defamatory publication, and make available the needed body of evidence to substantiate her spurious claims, our client shall be demanding that Lala Akindoju / and her faceless alleged rape victim, be charged before the court of law as provided by our criminal justice law especially as captured by Section 24 of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2015.
“In the light of the aforesaid, we implore you to accordingly use your good office to investigate the complaints and this matter is accordingly charged to court in the interest of justice, equity, and good conscience, as the person, marriage, reputation and good standing of our client is been maligned.”
