Wed Jun 1 06:54:48 UTC 2022

Dear Emem & Caleb,

As AFRINIC PDWG Co-Chairs, we would like to take this opportunity to firmly encourage all participants on this mailing list to be responsible, civil and stay within the bounds of policy related discussions.

Warnings, moderation or a ban are possible outcomes in case of violation of the Code of Conduct and we would ideally prefer that this community does not give us any reason to enforce the Code of Conduct: https://www.afrinic.net/code <https://www.afrinic.net/code> 

We kindly request immediately for you to take this discussion off-list.

Best Regards,

PDWG Co-Chairs.

> These statements were made by you in the context of alleging that my client falsely claimed to have been employed by the University of Ibadan. On the backdrop of this, I have come to the irresistible conclusion that your statements are based on malice and deliberately made to disparage my client and to bring him to public opprobrium, loss of goodwill and to expose him to ridicule. It is also apparent that the natural and ordinary meaning of the words used in your statements as reproduced above portray our client as a fraud and patent liar. These statements which are indeed false, have exposed my client to contempt, tend to injure his reputation as the current President of Internet Society Nigeria and would lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of rpd at afrinic.net <mailto:rpd at afrinic.net> and within the internet governance community generally.

You are also to DESIST further defamatory statements made against my client. If there is any failure on your part to comply with this demand, I have my client’s instruction to take appropriate action against you and to seek all the available damages and remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction.
