A Lagos High Court, Ikeja has ordered a former Chief of General
Staff, Gen. Oladipupo Diya, and other directors of his funeral services
firm to pay N5.5m as damages for assaulting and battering a mortician,
Mr. Oluwatosin Onamade, in 2008. Read more
Justice Opeyemi Oke, in a judgment on Monday, described the action of
Diya and others as “an example of impunity” executed to force Onamade
out of the management of the company.
“The action of the defendants is condemnable; it is an arbitrary use of power,” Oke held.
She held that the defendants took the law into their hands by
assaulting and battering the claimant and unlawfully seizing his
belongings.
