DAAR Communications Plc admits that in airing the said documentary, it had no intention whatsoever to embarrass or diminish the high reputation of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu which it respects and attests to”.

That is not all, AIT has also agreed to publicly and unequivocally retract the documentary three times on their television channel all over the world and it will be done once daily for three days. Besides, AIT will also bear the cost spent on the suit in court by the politician. AIT lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) agreed to all the terms of settlement.
