Dame criticized the allegations as part of a broader pattern of political attacks.

“Ordinarily, I would have treated the words published by you with the contempt they deserve since you and functionaries of your political party have gained distinct notoriety for constantly peddling falsehoods about my person,” he stated, accusing the platform of being a “regular forum for such sinister activity.”

Demanding a retraction using the same platform, Dame has threatened to initiate legal action if similar remarks are repeated.

“I hereby serve you notice that a future publication of the same or similar falsehoods by your good self will result in an institution of legal proceedings for punitive damages for defamation together with costs of litigation,” he cautioned.
