He is also required to pay N500,000 to cover the cost of litigation.

The ruling further states that he must retract the disputed post made about Mrs Jollof and publish a formal apology in two national newspapers within 14 days.

The judgment has been described in the report as a significant legal victory for Mrs Jollof, with the court reportedly affirming that the statements in question caused reputational harm and therefore warranted both financial compensation and a public retraction.
