Jane Dam Dede has disowned a May 4, 2018 post she made on Facebook, in which she made damning allegations against Elvis Donkemezuo, after the latter slammed a defamation lawsuit against her.
In a lawsuit (Elvis Donkemezuo v Jane Gem Dede) filed by his lawyers at the Bayelsa State High in Yenagoa, Elvis is alleging that Jane defamed is character and is making a demand for six hundred million naira in damages.
The matter has been assigned to Hon. Justice T.Y. Abasi of State High Court 9.
However, in a dramatic twist, sworn counter affidavits pending before the court reveals that Jane Dam Dede has denied the above allegation.
