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.
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.
