“He has been sued at the Virginia State Court. Ken does not need the $9.5million from Kevin Taylor but wants to teach him a great lesson. He is even lucky that he has only been sued in Virginia.
The lawyers wanted to sue him in all the 50 states of the US. The lawyers were ready for that. They want to teach him a great lesson. If you have an opportunity to educate people on issues, why should it be about insults and false allegations?
“He alleges that Ken is a green card fraudster, he will have to prove that. It’s a serious allegation. American’s issue green cards so if you claim Ken is a fraudster then you have to prove it. If he is able then so be it but if he is unable to prove it, then he is in trouble. He also claims Ken is a cocaine dealer so he’ll have to approve all that. It took a lot of time but now everything is ready now, he said on Net 2 TV.
According to excerpts of the writ published by Presidential Staffer, Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe on his Facebook timeline, the MP is seeking an injunction prohibiting the defendant from publishing on any media outlet, any defamatory remark about him.
