In ADEGBOLA vs- OSIYI (2018) 4 NWLR (Pt. 1608) page 1 @ 10 para D-F
the Supreme Court held that JURISDICTION is the very basis upon which any court
tries a case. It is the lifeline of all trials, as a trial without jurisdiction
is a nullity. See also N.D.I.C vs- C.B.N
(2002) 7 NWLR (Pt. 766) 272;
PETROJESSICA ENTERPRISES LTD vs- LEVENTIS TECHNICAL COMPANY LIMITED
(1992) 5 NWLR (Pt. 244) 675
Those forum shopping in
Nnewi, Anambra State High Court without jurisdiction to hear and determine the issues of disqualification by EC NBA of a
presidential hopeful when the NBA secretariat/EC NBA in Abuja note that should NBA
not respond to your process, it is decrepit, your said court process not being a libel suit, stays
creaky. When you decide to appear in the appropriate court, you would be met
with the principle, ex-turpi causa non oritur actio.
Look, the anti-corruption libel suit filed by Etiaba
in Port Harcourt against Minister Lai Mohammed for publishing his client(s)
names as corrupt people when there was no order of court certifying him or them
as such, the un-reported (celebrated)
case of FHC/L/CS/1296/2012 Counterclaimant BABALAKIN vs- AMCON judgment
delivered on 13th June 2018, rests it. The Federal High Court per
coriam Buba J., at page 59 of his judgment awarded the sum of N3Billion as counter-claimed
by Resort Intl Ltd and Dr Wale Babalakin against AMCON for publishing his/their
names as chronic debtor(s) when there was no order of court adjudging him/them
as such or authorizing the publication. I actually obtained CTC from the
Federal High Court Lagos. And I have
relied on the locus celebra in a
N2Billion claim at the Federal High Court.
