A bank customer in Kaduna State, Patience Sa’idu-Samuel, has taken a former and current staff of an unnamed financial institution to court for using her account to siphon N33m. The suit, which was instituted by the complainant’s counsel, Umar Sama’ila, was heard on Friday by Justice Munir Ladan of the Kaduna State High Court but later adjourned to June 30, 2018 for further deliberations. The judge told counsel to the defendants, Yusuf Ajibola to “put his house in order before the adjourned date.” Counsel to the plaintiff had earlier said they were in court to claim damages for the stress and harassment his client went through over the issue. He told the court that they have served the defendants with all the necessary notices and asked the court not to allow counsel to the defendants to drag the case backward. According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Sama’ila told newsmen outside the court premises that his client was demanding for N36.6m damages against the bank for the stress and harassment she faced since the beginning of the problem. He said, “In view of what happened, the bank went after my client that she had to pay the money. Thereafter, after certain procedures by the plaintiff, the bank paid up the money. “In view of that, the plaintiff felt that she had been cheated and made to suffer a lot and filed an action against the bank. Our prayer is for the court to prevail on the defendants to pay us damages of N36.6m,” he said.]]>
