Supreme Court Affirms ₦6bn Damages Against Dakuku Peterside For Defaming Odili by ozoigbondu(op): 10:56am On May 27, 2022

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a suit by former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dakuku Peterside seeking to set aside N6 billion damages awarded against him for defaming the character of the former Governor of Rivers State, Dr Peter Odili.

In a judgment prepared over by Justice Adamu Augie, but delivered by Justice Adamu Jauro, the Peterside’s appeal was dismissed for want of merit.

The apex court upheld the decisions of the lower courts which imposed a fine of N6 billion on him to be paid to Odili as compensation for his defamed character.

Odili had in October 2016 dragged Peterside to court demanding N6 billion as damages for character defamation.

In the suit, the former Rivers State Governor had claimed that Peterside, during a press conference in Port Harcourt, defamed him in his allegations that Governor Nyesom Wike’s Supreme Court victory was hatched by him.

This allegation was made on the fact that the wife of Mr Odili, Mrs Mary Ukaego Odili is a Supreme Court justice.

Will Dakuku Peterside be able to pay 6b naira even though he was compensated with NIMASSA position to recover and get much more after spending in 2015 election?

Ah ah...

Na which kind judgement be this, how and wetin the guy wan take pay the damages?

Peter V. Peter.

Our court system is one of the major problems bedevilling us as a nation.

The day we can get it right with the judiciary, a foundation would have been built upon which every other block/concrete of progress can be placed one at a time for a truly developing and to-be prosperous nation.

This judgement was obviously influenced and hatched by the plaintiff's wife right from the lower courts up to the Supreme court and supported by all the presiding judges who sided with her by taking the defendant's comments as an insult to them all and their profession.

Modified:

For those of you following the bandwagon to spew trash about my comment and further threaten me with the defamation shiit.

Now listen, since you lots have a brain yet can't use it for yourself.

What sense does it mean to you that defamation of character now carries way much more sentence than defamation of your collective wealth/purse a.k.a corruption?

Make una try dey use una head sometimes. Even when you stand alone in a reasoning, it doesn't mean you are crazy or silly.

Think out of the box.

Rubbish.

Dawan will soon declare bankruptcy....all the monies he made from NIMASA is about to take flight.

Next time he will think twice before running to the press to make unguarded publications.

That's how he will appear on radio programmes and be making all kind of unfathomable accusations and allegations.

I trust Odili, he will pay every dime of that judgement, nonsense and ingredient.

Justice Odili is using her position in the supreme Court very well.

The judiciary in Nigeria is as corrupt as the executive /legislative arms of government.

I'm a party to a case that was entered into since Sept 2021, its been adjournment upon adjournment.

It's either the judge is sick, on official assignment or have too much to handle.
