The judge, Ekaete Obot, who is the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, lashed out at the counsel, Inibehe Effiong, who said the court had breached the Nigerian Constitution in its judgment against his client.

Thursday, scolded a defence counsel in a suit in which the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, was awarded N1.5 billion as damages for libel.

Mr Effiong, who urged the court to give priority to his application for extension of time, cited the Supreme Court position on the matter, “Notwithstanding that preliminary objection is on jurisdiction, provided there is an application before the court for extension of time that application must be taken first”.

“You are not on Channels Television, neither are you on Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Television,” she said.Governor Emmanuel sued Mr Ekpenyong for defamation of character over the publication in which he accused the governor of “buying judgment” from the 2019 National Assembly Election Tribunal. Counsel to Governor Emmanuel, Mr Ikpo, in a notice of preliminary objection, said the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the prayers of the defendant.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Just for records, the court ruled last Wednesday in our favour and upheld our application. The N1.5 billion judgment given in favour of Governor Udom Emmanueĺ was accordingly set aside. Those who insulted themselves (not me) under the quoted tweet should be properly guided.

One of most dreadful places to contest actions against politicians in Nigeria is South-South. Judges are tied to the apron of the politicians. Utterances by 'Justice' Obot is shameful, condemnable and disgraceful. Submission of InibeheEffiong is by no means offensive
