An Oyo State High Court in Ibadan has dismissed a N5billion defamation suit filed by Chief Gani Adams, against Chief Sunday Adeyemo, known as Sunday Igboho.

The ruling, delivered by the court presided over by Justice O.T. Ademola-Salami, also awarded N500,000 in costs against Adams in favour of Igboho.

In the case marked M/1006/2004, Adams, represented by a lawyer Sikiru Akinrele, Adams claimed that Igboho had violated his fundamental rights by allegedly recording a private telephone conversation without consent.

He argued that this breach of privacy contravened Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

Adams sought declarations stating that it is unlawful to covertly record private conversations without the consent of all parties involved.

“A declaration that it is unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional for the respondent to covertly record and publicly release or publish the private telephone conversation between the applicant and another person, without the consent and authority of the applicant.”

However, when the case was heard on April 30, 2025, Igboho’s counsel, Junaid Sanusi, filed a counter-affidavit opposing Adams’ claims.

He highlighted that Adams did not personally submit the affidavit supporting his application, which is required by law.

The court then adjourned the case until July 3, 2025, for judgment.

However, in a ruling delivered on Thursday, Justice Ademola-Salami dismissed the suit.

He ruled that Adams’ affidavit was defective as it had not been personally deposed by him or someone authorised by him.

The judge further noted that Adams failed to demonstrate that his phone had been tapped by Igboho, even if the affidavit had been deemed acceptable.
