Court Awards N200 Million To Yobe Girl Electrocuted By MTN Cable by Mecka: 7:27am On May 31, 2022 |
A high court in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, has awarded N200 million as compensation to a 12-year-old girl, Hamsatu Abdullahi, who was electrocuted by a cable belonging to telecommunication giant, MTN. The Nigeria Electricity Liability Management Company (NELMCO) is a co-defendant in the suit. The injuries Miss Abdullahi sustained in the incident led to amputation of both her hands and one of her legs. Her father Abdullahi Koki sought redress from the high court after her daughter’s electrocution at an MTN facility in front of the plaintiff’s house. Mr Koki said he had complained about the citing of a mast in front of his house but was ignored. The incident occurred in 2012 at Chumbusko Village in Karasuwa local government area of Yobe state. The judge, Lawu Lawan, awarded the N200 million damages jointly and against MTN Nigeria Ltd and Nigeria Electricity Liability Management in favour of Hamsatu. The judgement read in part: “I hold that the plaintiff has duly established by oral and documentary credible and unchallenged evidence against the defendants. “I equally hold that the plaintiff is entitled to claims from the defendants jointly and severally as compensating or general damages for the permanent disablement via the loss of her two hands, right leg, continuous pains medical treatment, anguish, shock and continuous psychological trauma and loss of amenities of life caused by the defendants’ act and omissions.” https://www.blueprint.ng/court-awards-n200-million-to-yobe-girl-electrocuted-by-mtn-cable/ 1 Like |
