Ode Okore Wins The Guardian In Court, Awarded $99,599, N3m In 33-year-old Case by ebusnwaoma: 4:57am On Mar 14, 2019 |
A Nigerian journalist Dr Ode Okore, has been awarded a total of $99,599 and a separate N3m by the National Industrial Court, Lagos Division, in a 33-year-old case against The Guardian newspaper. Dr Ode Okore who was the newspaper's foreign correspondent at one time and also in charge of The Guardian North American Bureau in New York, had in August 1986 sued the newspaper before the Lagos State High Court for wrongful termination of his employment. However the case was struck out in its 26th year by the state high court, over lack of jurisdiction following the amendment to the 1999 Constitution (Third Alteration Act 2010), which took effect on March 4, 2011.Okore however filed a fresh one before the National Industrial Court, Lagos Division in August 2013, which was struck out in March 2017, after which, the unrelenting journalist filed a third one in November 2017. The Nigerian journalist in a new twist of event, was then awarded $99,599 and N3m in the 33-year-old case which Justice Nelson Ogbuanya presided in. Punch reported that the Judge who dismissed the preliminary objection of the newspaper that the case was statute-barred, misconceived, frivolous, vexatious and constituted an abuse of court processes, held that it was not Okore’s fault that the state high court struck out his case, which had lasted 26 years in court, before the constitution was amended to strip the high court of jurisdiction. https://unclesuru.com/2019/03/14/nigerian-journalist-awarded-99599-n3m-in-33-year-old-case/ 4 Likes

Judicial rascalities everywhere, how can an old matter be determined by a new law? In that case if someone was convicted and probably executed and suddenly, death penalty is abolished, will the case be revisited? I no be Lawyer oo 1 Like |

Our Justice system is one Big Joke. Excruciatingly Slow and can frustrate even the most patient Dog. Not to forget Guardian can appeal the judgement, and then further it to supreme court. How many more years. A friend in the judiciary system told me Supreme court is attending to cases of year 2012/2013 in this 2019. 33 years! You had ur 1st child 33 yrs ago and Your getting justice when you are now a grandfather. Naija Which way!!! 1 Like |
