The University of Guyana (UG) says that it has not been served with any documents in a purported defamation lawsuit against it by Dr Wayne Forde.
A statement yesterday from UG was responding to a letter in Saturday’s edition of Stabroek News by Forde where he stated that UG had been named as a defendant in legal proceedings that commenced in Guyana’s High Court requesting damages of over $7,000,000 for defamation allegedly committed by the defendants on June 25, 2023.
“Dr. Forde, over the last two days, has enjoined two newspapers in perpetuating a gross untruth in the public domain by publishing an unsubstantiated Letter to the Editor December 2 (Stabroek News)and December 3 (Village Voice) stating that the University is a defendant in a lawsuit for defamation”, the university said.
