The directors and shareholders of Borisa Nigeria Limited have threatened to sue a Lagos businessman, Emeka ’E-Money’ Okonkwo over alleged impersonation, defamation and injurious falsehood against the company.

A petition by the company’s Chairman/Managing Director, Chief Boniface Nworisa, alleged misrepresentation of facts and falsehood in an interview granted by Okonkwo.

The petition alleged that Okonkwo in the interview published by a 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.

They said, “Contrary to his claims of registration and ownership of the company, he was initially an apprentice and later became an employee before he left the company in 2005.”

The petitioners stated that they had suffered substantial monetary and emotional damages and embarrassment as a result of the statement made in the said interview.
