The federal government has filed a five-count criminal defamation charge against Onyekachi Nwebonyi, representing Ebonyi north, over alleged “vile and disparaging” comments made against Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi central.
The case, marked CR/547/2025, was filed before the federal capital territory (FCT) high court in Abuja by Mohamed Babadoko Abubakar, director of public prosecutions (DPP), on behalf of the attorney-general of the federation (AGF).
