The threat is contained in a petition signed by the company’s Chairman/Managing Director, Chief Boniface Nworisa dated February 8, 2016. In it, Nworisa alleged that Okonkwo misrepresented facts and spoke falsehood in an interview he granted a National daily. The petition titled “Impersonation of Directors and Shareholders of Borisa Nigeria Limited”, the petitioner complained that Okonkwo in the interview published by Vanguard newspaper allegedly claimed that he incorporated and founded Borisa Nigeria Limited in 1997. The petitioners described the statement as false, misleading, fraudulent, malicious and defamatory adding that he did not register or own the company as alleged. The petition reads: “Contrary to your claims of registration and of ownership of the company, you were initially an apprentice and later made an employee before you left the company in 2005”. The petitioners stated that they have suffered substantial monetary and emotional damages and embarrassment as a result of the statement made in the said interview. Consequently, the petitioners are demanding for N450 million to mitigate and assuage the damages and losses suffered by them, a written apology as well as a retraction in the same newspaper.]]>
