Tunde AjajaRelief has finally come the way of Mrs Olanike Okome, a retiree, whose N225,000 was withheld for 11 years by the Lagos State High Court. “The court has finally refunded my money,” she told our correspondent on the phone. As evidenced by a copy of the court judgement, dated Monday, December 17, 2007 and signed by Mr J. A. Fadipe, the presiding judge, Justice A. M. Nicol-Clay, of Court 24, General Civil Division, Igbosere, ruled in her favour and ordered that the money paid by the tenant to the court be released to her. “That the Chief Registrar of Lagos High Court is hereby ordered to release to Mrs Nike Okome (the landlady/respondent) the sum of N225,000 only,” the copy of the judgement partly read.
