Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole Files Lawsuit And Denies Report That He Impregnaed A 16- Year-Old Girl

Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday denied reports that he impregnated a 16- year old girl.   

Oshiomhole spoke while testifying as first prosecution witness in a suit between him and Dockland Communications Limited, publishers of News of the People Magazine.   

The hearing took place in a Benin High Court on Monday.

The governor had dragged Dockland Communications to court, asking for unspecified amount of money as damages for the publication by the company which alleged that he impregnated the under-age girl.   

He told the court that the content of the publication, which came out sometimes last year with a front page caption - “Oshiomhole’s Sex Power Exposed: Impregnates young girl six months after death of wife” was scandalous.

The governor informed the court that he was alleged in the publication to have bought the girl a Jeep and that he was also interfering in the decisions of authorities at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, because of the girl.   

THE MALICIOUS PUBLICATION

Oshiomhole said he was seeking damages because the publication caused his family serious psychological trauma six months after the death of his wife.
