Yesterday, Justice Jude Okeke of the FCT High Court, Maitama, Abuja, dismissed a defamation lawsuit which Tony Ogbulafor filed against Emeka Ugwuonye. The case is TONY OGBULAFOR V. EMEKA UGWUONYE, FCT/HC/CV/1147/2017. You may recall that Tony Ogbulafor filed two defamation lawsuits against Emeka Ugwuonye. One he filed on behalf of David Aiyedegbon and then he filed another one on his personal behalf claiming that Emeka Ugwuonye defamed him in a post made on DPA wall. He was seeking damages of 10 billion naira against Emeka Ugwuonye. There is no problem in suing Emeka Ugwuonye provided you play it in accordance with the law.  But David and Tony are crocked men. They never play according to the law. So, while Emeka has been in detention, they knew that Emeka was unavailable to defend the cases and that it would compound his legal costs if he were to fight the cases all at the same time. Emeka requested them to give him time to come out to face them in court. But they refused and wanted to get a technical knockout against Emeka while he was in detention. Emeka showed Tony Ogbuluafor how the game of law is played. Emeka didn't even bother to deny the allegations of Ogbulafor. He gave them a false hope of easy victory. He knew they would behave like the proverbial monkeys that came upon a jar of palmwine in the middle of the forest. They would get excited and drink themselves to stupor and sleep off, and the hunter would come and put them in his kill-bag one by one. That was exactly what happened. Even without any thing filed by Emeka Ugwuonye, they lost Tony's part of the case completely. The judge told them that they could not show that what DPA wrote on DPA wall was untrue. If you recall, it was reported that Tony, acting on behalf of David, was seen handing an envelope of money to the police for them to interrogate Emeka Ugwuonye over the information he released concerning Chacha's case. They were disgraced in court yesterday. Emeka sent a lawyer to be in Court just to monitor the outcome. Emeka didn't bother at all. He was always confident that if the Court were to follow the law, Tony and David would run into the rock. And it came to pass that their suit was dismissed after 3 years of trying to intimidate Emeka. The judge told them that they went into a boxing match with a man whose legs were shackled and his hands tied behind, and that man still defeated them. Emeka laughed so hard when the news reached him in prison. He is confident that all the cases his enemies filed would end up like this.
