According to court documents obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday, the suit marked Suit No. E/746/2026, was filed by Kanu's legal team led by Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, through his attorney, Prince Emmanuel Kanu.

In the originating court processes, Kanu, who is currently serving life imprisonment at Sokoto State Maximum Prison, is asking the court to declare that statements allegedly made by Chimezie in videos circulated across multiple social media platforms between April and June 2026 were false, malicious and defamatory.
