Court dismisses Nigerian govt's $55 million debt recovery suit against Agip Oil - Premium Times Nigeria

A Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Wednesday dismissed a $55 million debt recovery suit filed by the Nigerian government against Agip Oil Company Ltd, citing insufficient evidence.

Parties in the suit had closed their cases in November last year, and the court adjourned for judgment. “The burden of proof starts with the plaintiff and keeps shifting until all the required evidence is placed before the court. The judge also held that the plaintiff failed to prove its case by supplying the requisite evidence, adding that the main purpose of final addresses is to assist the court.

This govt always lose cases for lack of evidence and it`s a big disgrace.
