The JT Useni campaign anchorman in the writ served on Mr. Kim last Friday demanded a public declaration that the said news post was false and defamatory, the sum of N50,000,000 as damages, a public apology and an injunction restraining the blog from publishing any such reports against him.
Mr. Kim who was given eight days to appear, beginning Friday filed a memorandum of conditional appearance on the case on Tuesday through Komak Law Company, Jos.
The case is expected to be opened for hearing in 30 days.
