Dear Sir,
PRE-ACTION NOTICE DEFAMATORY PUBLICATION IN RE: CAPT. MUSA
NUHU, DG NCAA
We act as counsel to Capt. Musa Nuhu, the substantive Director General of the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA) hereinafter referred to as “our client”. We have our client’s
authority to write this Notice.
This letter serves as a formal pre-action notice concerning the defamatory statements published
on your platform titled “EFCC to arraign suspended NCAA DG, Nuhu on graft allegations”
on the 17th May, 2024.
Your news piece, not only is entirely unfounded, contains several statements that are false,
misleading, and injurious to our client’s reputation, including but not limited to:
1. Establishment of culpability in a graft allegation: The claim that Capt. Nuhu is to be
arraigned by the EFCC on graft allegations suggest establishment and a prima facie case
warranting arraignment.
2. Suspension Due to Investigation: A conclusive impression that our client’s suspension
was a direct result of an established case graft allegation.
While these statements are factually incorrect, they have caused significant harm to our client’s
professional reputation and personal well-being.
Be educated thus that under Nigerian law, defamation occurs when a false statement is made
about someone, published to a third party, and causes injury to the subject’s reputation. Your
publication in our informed judgement, meets all these criteria.
Accordingly, we demand that your aforementioned publication be immediately retracted and
link thereof taken down within 72 hours of your receipt of this Notice.
Take Notice that failure to do as herein demanded, results in robust lawsuit against your
company to enforce our client’s demand.
Yours Faithfully,
Yours Faithfully,
U.U. Chamo Esq.
