In the suit number I/406/2024, the plaintiff, Mr Adeyemo, prayed for an order compelling the defendant to pay a sum of N500 million as aggravated damages over a leaked audio conversation, which he claimed damaged his reputation. Justice Sule declared: “I have perused the processes filed in support of the instant application. The gist of the application is that the bailiff of this court made an attempt at personal service, but was told the defendant was not around at his residence at 14, Ezekiel Street, off Toyin Street, Ikeja, Lagos State, hence the instant application. The affidavit of non-service to that effect was filed on 3 April, 2024.
