Prof Fassy Yusuf, the Vice Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, has filed a lawsuit against 11 individuals, demanding N10bn in damages for defamation and reputational harm. The dispute centers around a document titled “Report of the Fusengbuwa Fact-Finding Committee,” dated August 9, 2026, which allegedly made defamatory statements about Yusuf, including allegations of financial inducement, bribery, and document manipulation.
In his statement of claim, Yusuf seeks a declaration that the allegations are false and gravely injurious to his reputation, as well as an injunction restraining the defendants from further publishing defamatory materials.
