[contextly_sidebar id=”YWBmxlOqxXI4aoN9sd9i6b2RHhhnFjZB”]Lawyer Ayisi argued in his writ that the petition to the Chief Justice by Anas \u201caccompanied by the audio visual recordings was meant to portray the Plaintiff as a corrupt and criminally minded judge and public officer, and a common criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Plaintiff \u00a0further contends that “by the ordinary meaning, the said petition accompanied by the audio visual recordings was meant to portray the Plaintiff as a judge who perverts the cause of justice by demanding bribes from parties appearing before him to influence the judgments he delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He is seeking the following reliefs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. General damages for defamation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Aggravated damages for the malicious recordings, publication, republication\u00a0and circulation of the said audio visual recordings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      iii. Exemplary damages for the reckless publication, republication and circulation of\u00a0the said audio visual recordings.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Compensatory damages for the damage done to the Plaintiff\u2019s reputation.<\/li>\n
      2. A declaration that the 1st Defendant carefully and maliciously pieced together\u00a0the audio visual recordings and the transcripts thereof in a manner to incriminate\u00a0the Plaintiff on the allegations of bribery and corruption.<\/li>\n
      3. A declaration that the audio visual recordings and the transcripts thereof were\u00a0fraudulently and unlawfully obtained by the 1st Defendant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        vii. A declaration that the Plaintiff never demanded any money from the 1st\u00a0Defendant to influence his decision in any case pending before him.<\/p>\n

        viii. A perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants from publishing any further\u00a0defamatory material about the Plaintiff.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Legal Costs<\/li>\n
        2. Any other orders the Honourable Court may deem meet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
