A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has remanded an embattled Nigerian journalist, Agba Jalingo over a case filed against him by the Federal Capital Territory FCT Police Command.
The Informant247 recalls that the embattled journalist was alleged of causing reputational damage to Elizabeth Ayade, the wife of Frank Ayade, a relation of the Governor of Cross River State Professor Ben Ayade.
He was arrested August 2022 after the police operatives occupied his residence in Lagos State over defamation of character of Elizabeth.
The police tabled the case before the court on December 6, 2022 claiming that a publication which the journalist made against Elizabeth was untrue and released to insult and annoy her.
The journalist was set free in the same month last year, 2022 while the case was still active in court.
