The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, has upheld an October 4, 2016 judgment of the Lagos State High Court, which ordered Airtel Networks Limited to pay a debt of N4,888,434,208.

92 to a telephony products and services distributor, Plus Limited.

The appellate court also disagreed with Airtel that the Lagos High Court judge perverted justice in the matter. It later sued Airtel, through its lawyer, Dotun Oduwobi, seeking the recovery of the N4.8bn claim, following the termination the contract with it by Airtel. Justice Ogbuinya held, “By the Gregorian calendar computation, from May 2011 to March 2012 is a period of 10 months. It cannot be gainsaid that the period of 10 months is far less than the six years time frame decreed by the provision of Section 8 of the Limitation Law of Lagos State.”

“At the same time, the lower court did not import alien/foreign matters into the judgment. It utilised the evidence the parties presented before it. The finding does not, in the least, smell of any charge of perversity levelled against it by the appellant.”
