AIT HAS APOLOGIZED TO TINUBU OVER "LION OF BOURDILLON" DOCUMENTARY

African Independent Television, AIT has sincerely packaged apology to the National leader of All Progressive Congress, APC over the slandering documentary which was aired against him that titled, "Lion Of Bourdillon".

This documentary forced Tinubu Asiwaju to file a N150bn Libel Suit against the station in March for castigating and slandering his image, reputation and
character.

The APC leader has also withdrawn the suit after the relevant parties settled the matter out of court, Punch reports.

The development was confirmed by AIT’s lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome today, February 5, 2016.

“We are before My Lord this morning to do what the court has always encouraged litigants to do. We have come here today that every war that is fought is finally resolved at the round table,” he said.

“Parties have decided to settle amicably to enable both parties to continue with the good relationship that they have always had before the devil struck,” he added.
