Court of Appeal in Lagos had over-turned the decision of the Lagos
High Court to award him N25 million, Babatunde Omidina aka Baba
Suwe has decided to fight back as he takes the case to the Supreme
Court of Nigeria to challenge the Court of Appeal ruling.
High Justice Yetunde Idowu had ordered NDLEA to pay N25 million
to Baba Suwe as compensation for detaining him for several days
over false allegation of drug trafficking; weeks later, the Court of
Appeal slammed the judgement saying it erroneous, oppressive and
superfluous.
Now, to the final stretch, Baba Suwe through his lawyer, Bamidele
Aturu, prayed the apex court to allow the appeal, set aside the
decision of the Court of Appeal and affirm the decision of the trial
court.
He contended that the Court of Appeal erred when it held that that
exhibits I-VI (results of scan tests) were legally inadmissible.
Baba Suwe added that that there is no law that stipulates that an
applicant who seeks compensation for the violation of his or her
right should have been detained for one year to be entitled to
compensation.
