Ondo loses appeal against N30m court judgement awarded to man shot by Amotekun

The Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State, has affirmed a judgement awarding N30 million to Oluwarotimi Oluwasegun, a commercial motorcyclist who was shot in the leg two years ago by the state government’s Security Network Agency, code-named Amotekun.

A panel of justices of the court affirmed the award of N30 million to Mr Oluwasegun after striking out the appeal filed by the Ondo State Government to challenge the judgement of the state’s High Court in Akure.

Mr Oluwasegun’s lawyer, Tope Temokun, gave the update from the Court of Appeal in Akure in a statement shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday.
