Abike-Dabiri
Former House of Representatives member and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abike Dabiri-Erewa has sued Diamond Bank and Punch Newspaper for unspecified damages after her name was published by the newspaper on the bank’s chronic debtor list.

The suit was filed yesterday at a Lagos High Court.

It was claimed that she owes N100m to the bank.

Dabiri-Erewa claimed she did not owe Diamond bank any money and that didn’t she have any relationship with a company through which the alleged debt was incurred.

Though Dabiri-Erewa claimed the bank has apologised to her in two national dailies it is not, however, clear if she will drop the lawsuit.

    Are you sure she was not actually owing the bank?. One will understand, being an APC Chieftain and a key mouth-piece during presidential campaign, they will do everything to cover her up so as not to bring humiliation and scandal to APC leadership. This may be the truth if we investigate well
