N200 million after 10 years?... how much have they spent so far?... including lawyer fees? They asked for N200M then... how much is that really worth now? Is not like her legs will grow back... N200 M... too little too late.

This is my advice to my fellow nairaland this morning in other not to fall into this type of problem. Make sure all electrical connections in your homes work place environment are properly grounded to avoid been electrocuted. What most electrician do is to wire your property without adequate grounding which is meant provide a part for current to flow in case of equipment failure. By so isolating the system. It is sad news the 200 million is very little compared to damaged done to her. As saying this as power system engineer. Good morning all

Actually this settlement suppose be for life o

Good � she's compensated she can't make use of her hands even legs so unfortunate. With this money if the family use it well build her houses she will be collecting rent for life and set up business she's made already!

one4GOD:
ten year before justice is granted, nah waoooh, anyways better late than never someone would say.

I'm glad justice is served at last!

The court is not been fear to MTN and this also apply to other private businesses. How much federal government or NEPA has paid to the number of peoples that has been electrocuted by our grid.
Don't get me wrong am just say same is supposed to apply to all.

Nice one

the girl for don marry now if nt the damages.

This is sad. 9 years ago.

However I do not understand how an 'MTN cable' electrocuted the victim.

Mtn is not in the business of power distribution. Any power into thier mast is coming from nepa.

Telco cables carry voltage at extra low. So I have to wonder at this.

You are not a serious person

Electrocution or electric shock?

Very poor from MTN et al for not settling this long ago and paying substantial damages.

You are not well at all. How can you claim the court isn’t fair to MTN et al?

Why would you want justice to be denied to this little girl just because some others have been denied justice? Does that make sense to you?

So if a hit and run driver jams one of your loved ones, you will let them go because many others have escaped justice in the past?

Nigerian courts always pass such
judgements against foreign companies.

But if it is against a Nigerian body or
government, na so dem go dey go round
in circles and deny the victim a proper
judgement. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Nigerian Police or army can arrest
an innocent person, before you know
what's happening, the person dies in
their custody and nothing will happen,
no matter how much the victims people
complain or go to court.

the family needs to appel this judgment the judge needs to include an artificial hand and limb for the girl cost from the pocket of the said company plus the 200m

Are you a normal person?
Will you like your two hands and legs to be amputated for 200 million naira as a blessing for you?

Last last, the father will marry a new wife because of the cash out

ten years? what was MTN dragging

realstars:
Good.. After 10 years, justice at last.

BlessedJonMoss:
Fair judgment

I feel the education and welfare of the victim should also have been made the responsibility MTN

Sure.

The story does not make sense to me. Unfortunately it happened 10 years ago, and none of the victims in this sad story are educated.

Electrocuted by MTN cable

200million naira can still put up landed property in her name, which is an asset. That way she will never surver in life. The property will only appreciate

Not a fair judgement I must say...
MTN should have been mandated to oversee the education of the girl to PhD level and offer her automatic employment too.....

Her dad go use the money marry more wives

Not too bad even at 20millo per annum. The girl should be 22 years by now, oh! what a live we are living down here.

Very nice to know that reckless behaviour and negligence by anyone can be duly punished by our law.

That said, I hope we get this type of judgement against our politicians and government too for the endless recklessness and and abandonment.

Fixed.

Cheers baby.

MTN shouldn't even allow such cases to reach litigation

jmoore:
