Court Gives NDLEA 21 Days Deadline To Pay Baba Suwe N25m For Damages

Baba Suwe case still dragging on, there were predictions the NDLEA wouldn't pay, well that seems to be the case, its been months now and yet, NDLEA doesn't want to pay.

Though the Ikeja High Court in Lagos has taken action by ordering the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to pay the N25 million damages awarded to popular comedian. In no pleas, they have given their orders that, N25 million should be paid into an interest yielding account no later than 21 days from the date of judgement. optimatum

Nonetheless, NDLEA's lawyer continue to argue the that Baba Suwe may not be able to refund the money if their appeal succeeds. But Justice Idowu has insisted that the N25 million must be paid to the Chief Registrar of the High Court who will in turn deposit it into an interest yielding account.

The whole case is turning out sour!!

PSquare In Court On 26th of October For Failing To Honour A Show and Not Refunding The N3m Payment

A Benin-based music promoter, Mr. Patrick Anieze have raised a case against popular hip-hop artistes, Psquare, which has been adjourned till 26th of October. The duo have been accused of of failing to honour a show organised by Mr Patrick's outfit, PARUJON, in December 2009 and not refunding the N3.633million he paid them.
He said

“Instead of honouring the show, Psquare left for Dualla in Cameroon and returned to Benin very late (around 10p.m.) on the agreed date. As at that time, the people had filled the venue of the show with their tickets.However, Psquare refused to perform that day because they were already tired from the trip and promised to reschedule the show for 14 February, 2009. PSquare failed to honour the rescheduled show. Thereafter, I contacted Femi Falana chambers over the failed contract. Mr. Falana personally talked with Mr. Jude Okoye, who is the elder brother and manager of Psquare and they promised to refund the money spent on the show. After several efforts to get the money refunded, I instructed another lawyer ... to sue PSquare in court which was done on 22 March , 2011”.

It is reported though that Mr. Okoye persuaded the promoter’s lawyer to allow for out of court settlement but he refused to honour this plea, hence the case continues on 26th of October.
