Post by: Shola Sholaz on Jun 13, 2013, 12:03 AM
Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta, Mr. Nicholas Mutu, has approached an Abuja High Court, begging it to set aside judgment which ordered him to pay N6 million to Realvine Connections Limited.
.
Alleging that the judgment was obtained by fraud, the lawmaker, in his motion to set aside the order which was issued against him by Justice A.O Otaluka, said he was never a party to the suit that culminated in the court verdict.
.
Mutu, through his lawyer Mr. Abubakar Animiokhali, maintained that he was not aware of the pendency of the suit against him, saying he was not served the court processes.
.
He said he only got to know about the suit after he saw a photocopy of the suit dated February 1, 2013, on which was hand-written "undefended list", dropped outside the fence of his compound.
