Benue APC Set To Sue Two Media Houses For Libel,

Two radio stations in Benue State have landed in troubled waters, as the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state plans to sue them for libel.

The party’s Organizing Secretary, Mr Tutus Zaam, on Wednesday, January 14, said it would drag ‘Radio Benue and Ashi Waves’ to court as soon as the strike by judiciary workers ends.

Radio Benue is owned by the state government, while Ashi Waves, based in Katsina-Ala, is owned by Dr Terkula Suswam, the elder brother to Gov. Gabriel Suswam.

The party’s grouse is that the two stations have been allegedly broadcasting libellous information about the party and its candidates in regards to the forthcoming elections in the state.

Zaam said that the APC had already contacted its lawyers, and would file the necessary papers before court after the nationwide judiciary strike.
