Bash Ali records first court victory against Dalung

By Daily Sports on April 6, 2017

Justice Bello Kawu of FCT High Court, Kubwa, on Wednesday ordered Mr Okibe Emmanuel, counsel to Solomon Dalung, the Minister Sports and Youth Development, to pay N5,000 cost to Bash Ali for laxity.

Kawu said that the matter before the court was filed since Feb. 27, but the counsel was unable to file his responses till the date fixed for hearing.

The judge adjourned the matter till May 17 for hearing.

In the suit filed by the applicant’s counsel, Mr B.O. Nafagha, the veteran boxer, seeks a court declaration, ordering the Minister of Youth and Sports to pay him N1 billion as damages.

The money is a compensation for the violation of his fundamental human rights.

The plaintiff also wants the court to order the respondent to make public apology in two national newspapers and also pay him N8 million as cost of litigation.

Emmanuel, counsel to the respondent, had told the court that he was yet to file his responses, but has filed a preliminary objection, contesting the jurisdiction of the court.

He said that he was prepared to proceed with his argument.

Responding, Mr Nafagha, counsel to the applicant, told the court that he was prepared to respond to the objection. (Veronica Dariya/NAN)
