Yale9:

This is not a rape case.

This is a lawsuit.

D'Banj is the plaintiff. He is the one who has brought a case against Seyitan. He is the one to prove his case and try to win the lawsuit.

Read this:

Broadly there are four elements that the plaintiff is required to prove in a defamation lawsuit, whether for libel (a defamatory written statement, for example in a newspaper or other publication) or slander (a defamatory spoken statement.) These are as follows:

The statement, which must be about another person, must be false.

The statement must be ‘published’ to a third party, who cannot also be the person who is being defamed. Publishing in this context does not mean that it must be printed, but purely that the statement has to be ‘made available’ to someone other than the person about whom the statement was made.

If the nature of the statement is ‘of public concern’ the person who has published it must be at least liable in negligence. Public figures who seek to prove that they have been defamed must prove an additional element under the First Amendment of the US Constitution, that in publishing the statement the defendant was acting with ‘actual malice’ (by publishing something they know to be a lie) or at least to have a total disregard for whether the statement is true or not.

The person about whom the defamatory statement is made must be ‘damaged’ by the statement. In some states, it is sufficient to establish that the plaintiff suffered ‘mental anguish’ as opposed to ‘damage.’

How will he prove all these? Tell me?

Quoting US constitution in Nigeria is funny

Ok let me help school you again

Was the allegations published on a 3rd party site? Yes it was!!

Can Dbanj prove falasy in this defamatory publication? Yes he did and the hotel corroborated his claim stating key cards weren't released to D'banj nor any guest names seyitan lodging with them at the said time

Now the ball is in Seyitans court to give the honourable justice reasons why she shouldn't get stiff penalty for her lies

Boss13:


It's intimidation tactics to bring her to the negotiating table. A judge might not even review the case.

Did you study law at all?. You sue on a premise or basis. Dbanj is suing for libel, what will she counter sue for? Stay in class, you won't stay, now you forgot Relational law 201

I like the fact that you're not a "layman" but I still don't know where to start.. Maybe cos I'm tired this night

One feminist cow put the thing for head like say she be the girl sister making noise on Facebook. I hope she sees this.

generationz:



I never said she shouldn't be charged. You people should read carefully next time.

Does the law also say she can be unlawfully arrested? Don't tell me it was a lie because the police only denied the arrest accusation two weeks later.

I hope she at least has recordings of intimidation and threats by dbanjs camp.

What do you call an unlawful arrest to start with? Is she under an immunity clause as a Governor? Is she a diplomat from other country? Was she detained for more than 48 hours? Wasn't she served an arrest warrant? Or was she not notified of the order placing her on an arrest as ensrined in the Nigerian constitution? Are police not meant to arrest again ?

Wait and see how feminist will evade this thread crying over spilt milk...Awon olobo iCloud.They will open pussy on mutual consent in exchange for coldstone and pizza.20 years later Dem go change am to rape.Mtcheww

what's your prove to this

my advice to you is to be careful because everybody is now. responsibly for their words on social medial

you are speaking with full confidence as if you were there when it all started

just be careful

Long time no see big bro

Yale9:

We are taking about lawsuits, you are talking about experience.

If experience is all it takes to understand the law, then why do we need people going to study law?

Every where in the world, lawsuits have the same components, the same keywords.

Plaintiff: the person who feels someone has hurt them, and they need to prove that the person actually lied.

Defendant: the person defending him/herself against a lawsuit. They must disprove at least one element of the lawsuit against them.

Claims: money or properties in damages.

It is the same everywhere.

If someone has hurt you and you make claims in damages, the onus is on you to prove that you were lied against. After all, you are the one complaining.

BluntTheApostle:


You are being ridiculous.

Lol now I see where you are lost

Google what's the difference between plaintiff, accuser, accused, suspect, defendant , witness

And you might have your answer

What happened to the previous 100 million naira and an apology he demanded from the gal?

cos in practice, how the court consolidates burden/standard of proof could be different pursuany to the peculiarities of each case. Go to a library pls and do some "practical and procedural" research on claims such as these..

With this attitude, you'd be feasted upon in court by THOSE WHO KNOW.

Exc2000:


The law is simple, when a suit is filled and the defendant keeps dodging the court summons, then police must have to serve her the court papers (similar to a case of tenant dodging quite notice)

The 1billion damages isn't about what she can afford, it's damages D'banj is entitled to, she either pays in cash , asset forfeiture or serve jail term

D'banj just spoke for many voiceless accused men like Joseph in the Bible and I hope this case is pursued to the last full stop so as to serve as deterrence to people who wants to use false rape accusations to send people's husband , father , son , brother to jail over bitterness

.

police serve court summons? Loooolz

generationz:
Lol, I saw 1Billion Million naira. This is coming from the chambers of a so called SAN.

Dbanj is a clown. First, you sue the girl for 100Million naira to silence her now 1 billion to make her cower in fear.

The most important thing for any sane celebrity right now would be to clear his name and get a public apology but he keeps increasing the money knowing fully well the girl can't pay just to intimidate her.

The way Dapo is going about this issue, he is exposing himself that he is really scared.

I don't believe the girl will win except she has strong evidence but I believe she is telling the truth.

Some men will quote me now accusing me of supporting her without proof but they are supporting dbanj here without proof too. We all have a right to believe whoever we want to.

If you quote me to throw insults, thunder will fire you.


Edited: For the people quoting me, show me where i said going to court was wrong on dbanjs part? It's good to read well before commenting.

Ogbeni, calm down. Nobody is intimidated here. She said the guy collected spare key from somebody. She can get any lawyer to prove that and more evidence can be provided.

all you men with money thinking you can sleep with any woman with or without their consent, be wise

people are wising up


for all you women that sleep with Famos men just because they are rich and famous without minding how degrading they treat you, buy some dignity, stop behaving like a rag available for cleaning rubbish

generationz:


Why did he get her arrested?
Why is he increasing the money?

She can be sued and they have their day in court. But you I know she cant afford 1billion naira.


Even pastor krest only asked for a million naira which was a reasonable amount for the Dakolos.

Dbanj and his lawyers are clowns.

Lol. But you should know that the amount is not set by Seyitan or her family. The plaintiff decides what is suitable as claims for damages.

Fearlez:
police serve court summons? Loooolz

Oh yes in company of a court bailiff

The lady should sue back for N100b for unlawful arrest and detection, emotional assault and trauma, manipulation of her phone, threat to life and bodily harm. Nobody has monopoly for madness. After they made her to erase phone first! Guilty conscience!
Once fame comes, everything about their lives is women as if that's what the world is about. He lived his whole life with prostitutes, he can't deny that! He should face whatever comes his way, nobody is dragging Jazzy, falz, Adekunle gold etc.

A plaintiff is the one who brings a case against someone in a court of law. In this case, D'Banj is the plaintiff.

A defendant is the one against whom a case is brought in a court of law. In this case, Seyitan is the defendant.

So, what is your point?

Are you the one to prove a case brought against you?

No, it is the person (D'Banj) who is bringing the case that has to prove at least four elements of the case. Seyitan needs only to disprove one element of the case brought against her.

No mind them, all na media show.
Before you sue anyone, any betta lawyer must ask you if the person assets, especially fixed assets. If not if you win, how you Wan take get your judgment money?
Probably the chick owns or drives her bf or papa moto, lives in a rented apartment or she is married and stays in her hubby's asset. How do you want to get judgment from her?

There is nothing perculiar about burden of proof in a lawsuit.

It is the same everywhere.

Show me a link where burden of proof ever fell to the defendant?

The only way a defendant would ever have to prove a case is if they file a counterclaim in which case, their role reverses from defendant to plaintiff.

please go and read your book. If by now you don't know there are exceptions to the general rules as to burden on proof. Then I shouldn't be doing this with you..

Exactly and all she needs to do is state truth of events. If it’s a lie it will be obvious.
