“You are aware that in your issue of the 16th day of August, 2023, on page 9, you published an article under the headline; shs 1.3bn Animal Semen Contract not cleared - PPDA Boss. In this article, you alleged that our client flouted established PPDA procedures.”
The lawyers therefore demand a published correction and apology with in 3 days from the date of receipt or else move court to hold the Editor liable for breach of the subjudice rule and defaming their client.
