Army Ordered To Pay Ebere Ohakwe N1.25 Million For Assault by EmagNig(m): 4:32am On Oct 28, 2018
The Nigerian Army has been ordered by a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Friday ordered the to pay the sum of N1.25million to Nollywood actress Ebere Ohakwe as compensation after she was beaten up by men of the Nigerian Army in February 2017.

They were also ordered to publish a written apology in at least two national dailies to the actress, Punch Metro reports.

Ohakwe, popularly known as Jewel Infinity, was travelling in a public bus from Port Harcourt, Rivers State to Onitsha, Anambra State when operatives of the Nigerian Army stationed at Omagwa axis of the Port Harcourt Airport Road stopped the vehicle for a routine stop-and-search and, in the process, physically assaulted her.

The Federal High Court presided over by Justice Adamu Mohammed had earlier ruled on the matter in March 2018.

Mohammed had ordered the defendants (Nigerian Army) to pay the sum of N1m to the plaintiff as compensation for infringing on her fundamental human rights.

But the Nigerian Army through its counsel filed an application to the court to set aside the judgment and resume fresh hearing.

Counsel for the plaintiff, Chime Chime, in a counter-application, urged the court to dismiss the defendant’s submission.

Mohammed, however, struck out the application of the Nigerian Army, stating that it lacked merit.

The judge awarded N250,000 against the defendants in addition to N1m the security outfit was expected to pay to the victim, as well as a written apology to her to be published in at least two national dailies.

What’s all these for God’s sake, maltreating the same people u are trained to protect their lives and properties.

It’s one thing to give judgement, it’s another to comply with the judgement.
Do Nigeria army pay damages? I doubt it they will pay this money.

How I wish the brainless soldier can torture Boko Haram like this.

Just look at him, forming swag with the uniform and rifle.

And I’m sure that’s his greatest achievement in life not knowing that he can be killed by a rag tag boko haram any instant, that’s if boko haram never get am down already.

But no, Na only armless civilians dey at their mercies.
