“VDM has landed himself in hot water for his ignorance of libel law after publicizing allegations against Femi Falana and his family.
A commentator on TVC News bluntly stated that VDM needs to hit the books and educate himself on libel law, as his statements showed a glaring lack of understanding of the legal implications.
The commentator emphasized that libelous statements can be made without directly mentioning someone’s name, and that sharing defamatory content from another source can make one equally liable.
This means that VDM’s attempt to share and spread the allegations could potentially put him in the same legal hot seat as the original source of the material.
While VDM’s efforts to expose alleged corruption and bring attention to important issues are appreciated, he must be cautious and familiarize himself with libel law to avoid legal consequences.
The commentator’s advice is a timely reminder that freedom of speech is not a free pass to make harmful and untrue statements about others.
VDM would do well to take this advice to heart and ensure that his quest for truth and justice doesn’t lead to unnecessary legal entanglements.”
