A court has ruled that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is liable for defaming operatives of the State Security Service (SSS). The court determined that the publication made by SERAP contained false and damaging statements, thus constituting libel. As a result, the court has awarded N100 million in damages to the SSS operatives affected by the defamatory statements. This ruling underscores the legal implications of publishing unverified information that can harm individuals' reputations.
