The suit, lodged before an Anambra State High Court sitting in Onitsha, accuses Adeyanju of using his online platforms to circulate reckless and damaging claims against Obi.

In his filing, Obi is seeking ₦1 billion in general damages and ₦500 million in exemplary damages, alongside a court order compelling Adeyanju to issue a public apology for the alleged defamation.

Responding to the lawsuit, Adeyanju confirmed the development in a message shared with DAILY POST, saying he was “happy and relieved” that Obi had followed through with his legal threat.

“Finally, Peter Obi has sued me. I am actually happy and relieved that he didn’t chicken out in the end. Interestingly, he dragged me all the way to Anambra State, even though he is almost always in Abuja where I reside. But no shaking, we move,” Adeyanju said.

The case marks one of the most high-profile defamation suits involving a political figure and a social activist in recent months.

The bill, known as HB3, also mandates that individuals aged 14 or 15 must obtain parental consent before creating a social media account.

Under the new legislation, social media companies are required to delete existing accounts belonging to users under 14 years old. Failure to comply with this directive could result in legal action, with potential damages of up to $10,000 per account.

Moreover, companies found to be in violation of the law could face penalties of up to $50,000 per offense, in addition to covering attorney fees and court costs.

Governor DeSantis emphasized the importance of supporting parents in navigating the complex landscape of raising children in the digital age. The law, scheduled to take effect in January 2025, reflects Florida’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its youth amidst increasing concerns about the impact of social media on mental health and exposure to online predators.

While the move has garnered support from advocates for child safety, it is expected to face legal challenges, particularly regarding potential violations of the First Amendment. Nevertheless, Governor DeSantis remains confident in the constitutionality of the legislation, asserting that it represents a fair application of the law and the state’s commitment to protecting its youngest residents.

As Florida takes a proactive stance in addressing the risks associated with underage social media use, the nation watches closely, anticipating potential ripple effects and further developments in the ongoing debate surrounding online safety for children.
