Court Strikes Out Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Defamation Suit Against Kogi Gov

In a ruling delivered on Friday by Justice Idris Mua’wiya, the court struck out the suit marked “CV/412/2022” for being incompetent.

The suit, filed on behalf of Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Chambers of Femi Falana, SAN, was struck out upon the objection challenging the competence of the suit by counsel to Kogi State Governor, Abdulwahab Muhammed, SAN. Counsel to the plaintiff had sought to amend the defective suit upon receipt of the preliminary objection filed by Muhammed, SAN.

The court, in striking out the suit, agreed with the submission of counsel to the Kogi State governor that an incompetent originating process cannot be amended. Akpoti-Uduaghan had last November taken the Kogi State governor and others to court for allegedly defaming her character.
