Everybody is aware of the antecedents of the PMAN’s issues, personalised by the self styled factional leader of the Performing Musician Employers Association PMAN in the person of Pretty Okafor, who has made it his pastime over the last 5 years to drag my name in the mud for cheap popularity, knowing he continually lied about the PMAN land matter. After presenting the evidence with the original documents and a legal search report done by the Federal Capital Territory Administration that the land (an offer of Statutory Right of Occupancy, not a certificate of Occupancy) to the court. Pretty Okafor continued to give false statement to blogs and newspapers. No, I said enough of that. I filed on Monday the 7th of December 2020 a 100,000,000.00 (one hundred million Naira) libel suit against Pretty Okafor for defamation of my character. Many publications and videos have been given to the Ikeja High Court. Here are some of my pleadings in the Law suit.
