The Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, has awarded N50m damages against the Nigerian Army for the murder of Ajayi Oladele, who was said to have died as a result of a spinal cord injury he sustained when he was arrested and beaten by some soldiers in Warri in 2017.

Oladele was said to have been arrested and beaten by soldiers in their bid to help a businessman to recover a debt from the deceased.

Following his death, his widow, Esther Oladele, and their three children, filed the fundamental rights enforcement suit marked FHC/WR/CS/93/2017 against the Nigerian Army, one Lt. Col. T. A. Yakubu and Sergeant Hassan Hassan.

The suit was instituted on behalf of the plaintiffs by their lawyer, Mr Kunle Edun, who prosecuted the case for them free of charge.

Justice Emeka Nwite in the judgment delivered on December 10, 2019, declared that the four “plaintiffs’ right to life and therefore good and reasonable comfort of life have been violated by the acts of the defendants by the unlawful killing of Otunba Ajayi Oladele being that the deceased was the parent of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th plaintiffs and husband to the 1st plaintiff and also the breadwinner of the family.”


In the copy of the judgment seen by Punch correspondent on Wednesday, the judge made an order, “awarding the sum of N50,000,000 as general and exemplary damages jointly and severally against the defendants in favour of the plaintiffs as a result of the unlawful/wrongful death of Otunba Ajayi Oladele and for loss of consort, fatherly love/care, comfort and disruption of the family life of the plaintiffs.”

The judge also awarded N100,000 against the defendants and in favour of the plaintiffs as cost of prosecuting the case.

And that is why Ganduje is still the governor of Kano state.

Are governors no longer having immunity? When was our constitution amended to remove it?

The account will be ganished

Go back and read any post about someone owing money or refusing to pay a debt and count the number of comments advocating the person to go and get soldiers. So you Nigerians are the cause of your own predicament because you are a lawless bunch.

No amount of money will bring back the dead.
They should compensate the family of the deceased

Wazobiamax22:
N50M or $50M

N50M for a life

remi1444:
50 million isn't bad. But we've a Bu...

It should have been 5 billion Naira even. So that military hierarchy will start training their soldiers properly about human rights.

Will the said amount of #@50m bring back the dead

It's still not fair to me. The court should have add another 0 behind the 50 to make it fairly even

Lexusgs430:
50 million only...... Good, but not good enough..........

Very bad! The family will not smell ₦5 from the Nigeria Army

Story... You forget this Nigeria is a shithole without a functional judiciary.

Court/legal orders have paperweight under this administration. The DSS or army will storm the bank and whisk everyone away.

Thank you very much. Please tell these ones who still think we have a judiciary

Money cannot pass even
