Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has filed a ₦1.5 billion lawsuit against human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju over alleged defamatory social media posts.
It would be recalled that the dispute between Peter Obi and Deji Adeyanju escalated after Adeyanju sued Obi’s aide, Serah Ibrahim, for defaming his wife.
However, Obi’s lawyers, Ejesimen & Co (Madiba Chambers, SAN), responded by demanding Adeyanju retract his statements and issue a public apology, which he refused.

The suit, No. 0/254/25, was filed at the High Court of Anambra State, Onitsha Judicial Division, on October 3, 2025.
According to the details of the lawsuit shared by Deji Adeyanju in a now-viral Facebook post, Peter Obi is seeking ₦500 million in aggravated damages and ₦1 billion in general damages.
Additionally, he demands retraction, apology, and a perpetual injunction against further defamatory publications.

Finally, Peter Obi has sued me. I am actually happy and relieved that he didn’t chicken out in the end. Interestingly, he dragged me all the way to Anambra State, even though he is almost always in Abuja where I reside.
But no shaking, we move. I will prove in court that Peter Obi is corrupt, a bigot and a fraud. You will all be entertained I promise”
