BREAKING! Nigerian Lawyers Drag China to Court Over COVID-19, Demands $200b Damages

A coalition of Nigerian legal practitioners has dragged the People’s Republic of China to court over the effects of the Coronavirus outbreak on the West African giant.

The lawyers are demanding $200 billion as damages for the “loss of lives, economic strangulation, trauma, hardship, social disorientation, mental torture and disruption of the normal daily existence of people in Nigeria.”

This was contained in a statement on Sunday by the lead prosecutor, Prof. Epiphany Azinge (SAN)

Azinge’s law firm, Azinge, and Azinge, is championing the legal action, stressing that they had concluded pleadings for the class action against the Chinese government.

The statement added, “The team of legal experts planned a two-phase line of action-: first is with the federal high court of Nigeria and secondly to persuade the government of Federal Republic of Nigeria to institute a state action against the People’s Republic of China at the International Court of Justice at the Hague

“The legal experts will be claiming damages to the tune of 200billion dollars, the Chinese Government will be served through its Embassy in Nigeria.”

Azinge is currently a member of the Commonwealth Arbitral Tribunal London, representing Nigeria and Africa.

A lot have done that already, read!

Yeye and wasting of time

To my own little knowledge and contribution.

Who brought the virus into our country ?
An italian man was claim to be the first carrier of the virus in Nigeria.

What did our government do to prevent the viru from getting into this country at first stage ?
They told us they were well prepared and well equiped to fight against the virus. They publicly boost of what they knew they are not capable of doing.

I swallow my other contribution for another day.

Foolishness at its peak ,on what grounds, I really need to flog that lawyer am sure he didn't graduate from law school ,what evidence do they have apart from media reports they get online ,even the United State is yet to sue China . Jobless charge and bail .

Yahoo lawyers ... your govt has been dealing with you guys front, back and center with cases of human rights violations, where have you taken them to ?

A nice one, at least if they win the case and China refused to pay, they can ask for the courts permission to seize China's assets and investment in Nigeria

Comedy...all comedy

Let's wait and watch how it goes

If true, this is commendable.
