Blogger Linda Ikeji Ordered to Pay N30 Million for Defaming NBM of Africa

A Nigerian High Court has ruled against popular blogger Linda Ikeji, ordering her to pay N30 million in damages to the Neo-Black Movement of Africa (NBM) for a libellous publication made on her blog in October 2021.

The NBM had filed a lawsuit against Ikeji after she labelled the organization as a “dreaded cult group,” “black axe,” and a “criminal organization” in her blog post. The court, presided over by Justice Roli Daibo-Harriman, found these labels to be defamatory and damaging to the NBM’s reputation.

In her judgement, Justice Daibo-Harriman also directed Ikeji to publish a retraction on her blog and in national dailies, acknowledging the false information spread about the NBM. Additionally, she was ordered to pay N300,000 to cover the legal costs incurred by the NBM.

This ruling serves as a strong reminder to bloggers and online content creators of the importance of verifying information before publishing. The NBM, a legally registered organization, faced significant reputational harm due to Ikeji’s inaccurate and defamatory post.

Reacting to the judgement, NBM President Ese Kakor emphasized the dangers of character defamation and urged bloggers to exercise caution when publishing sensitive information. He further stated that the NBM has no affiliation with any cult groups or criminal organizations.

This case highlights the legal consequences of spreading false information online and the potential damage it can cause to individuals and organizations. The NBM’s successful lawsuit serves as a precedent, reminding everyone of the need for responsible online content creation and the importance of protecting one’s reputation from unfounded accusations.
