In a writ of summons dated May 3, the claimant demanded for the N2 billion as general, punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages against the defendant.

Idahosa further demanded N15 million as the cost of the action.

In the seven point demand of the claimant against the defendant, he asked for perpetual restraining order against the defendant and his agents from further writing, printing  publishing online or causing to be written, printed or published online the same article or similar words that tend to defame the claimant.

An order directing the defendant to cause the withdrawal  and removal of the article authored by him from the various social media outlets.
