Supreme Court Imposes N40m Fine On Mike Ozekhome Over Frivolous Suit by Loveth160: 1:40pm On Dec 05, 2023
The Supreme Court on Tuesday in Abuja imposed a fine of N40M on human rights activists and Constitutional lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome for filing a frivolous, vexatious and irritating motion before the Court in respect of Imo Governorship tussle decided in 2019.

Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN, called to the Nigerian Bar over 42 years ago and was fined a huge amount for bringing a motion before the Apex Court seeking to revalidate the suit that removed Emeka Ihedioha as Governor of Imo State in 2019.

The Senior lawyer was ordered in a ruling by Justice Tijani Abubakar to personally pay the N40M fine to four respondents he dragged before the Court.

Those to be paid are the Action People’s Party, APP, Uche Nnadi, Uche Nwosu and the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.

In the motion considered to be frivolous by the Court, Ozekhome had asked the Court for a consequential order to compel INEC to issue a fresh Certificate of Return to Ihedioha to enable him spend a four-year tenure as Imo Governor.

His grouse was that the incumbent governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma unlawfully spent the four years that Ihedioha ought to spend.

Among others, Ozekhome in the motion claimed that the All Progressives Congress APC had no candidate in the 2019 Imo Governorship election, hence, Uzodinmma ought not to have been made governor on the platform of APC.

However, the Apex Court dismissed the motion on the ground that it has no jurisdiction to entertain such a motion.

Justice Abubakar held in the ruling that the request was strange, frivolous, baseless, unwarranted, vexatious and irritating.

He further held that the motion was a calculated design to demonize the Supreme Court.

Studies have shown that people with faces like this mostly lack the basic minimum intelligence, and in effort to appear normal, they end up proving to the world they are mentally challenged.

Is this not the same clown parading himself as a SAN and has always been involved in the case of ipob terrorists and their mini god currently cooling off in dss cell?

N40m fine is not enough. The fine should be in addition to suspension of his practice license for 10 years at the minimum.

You call him a clown 🤡 and several other names but nobody in your entire family or lineage whether dead or alive is equal to or greater than him in intelligence, social standing, education, financial capacity and any enviable area of human life.

Lobatan.

I remember the assurance he gave Farouk Lawan too that time and what he said on TV about the audio tape of the DSS sting operation that caught Farouk Lawan collecting marked US dollars from Mr Femi Otedola as bribe. I still shudder anytime I watch that his interview. It was completely appalling! Haba!

Till date, when I remember that his bold face
interview and how similar action by Trump's lawyers earned them fine for lying and license to practise law suspensed, I knew that some day, he too will get caught and sanctioned.

Below is that his interview on Channels Tv claiming that the DSS videos that caught the convicted Farouk red-handed were doctored

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka2E7eWpMxU?si=4o764DEBm_OqPQJD

Farouk Lawan was eventually convicted on the strength of that same evidence that Chief Ozekhome claimed was doctored.

License to practise law is not a license to lie. It is not a license to even use the law to lie on behalf of your client. A lawyer is not a licensed liar and cheat, only mediocre and corrupt lawyers lie and cheat

It's shamefully obscene that Senior lawyers in his category and age lie and make it appear cool for baby lawyers to start lying too. I used to be his fan during his Chief Gani Fawehinmi days but he has changed.

This Supreme Court action came late but it is better than never so he can change and serve as deterrent to others, especially the young and baby lawyers. Check my signature for free stuffs!

See how foolish the supreme court is, they are just trying to cover their ass, the main aim is to discourage others from filing suits which exposes how compromised the judiciary has been. Imagine the supreme court saying a lawsuit was filed to ridicule them, when justice is all we want, I guess a call to justice is a ridicule to the judiciary.

Better. If Courts are doing this, perhaps lawyers would stop jam-packing Courts with loads of cases.

Just like Roberts clerk said,.....if I'm Atiku's lawyer,I won't advice him to go to supreme court, because it's obvious he would fail. Trust my naija hungry lawyers, they advised him to file the case just for them to collect their own share of loots.

Agbado hungry fools littered all over this topic, just to masturbate on their ugly looking joysticks affected by untreatable erectile disjunction and paralysis.

You don't see them anywhere near the stupid and evil people they brought into power.

As soon as they receive their daily 500 naira subscription their foolishness increases to the high heavens....spits.
