Tomorrow, the 3rd of February, 2009 is the hearing of UZOMA OKERE Vs. Arogundade suit. Uzoma was the damsel that was the victim of Admiral Arogundade and his naval escorts assault on the 3rd of November, 2008 on Muri Okunola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
UZoma was assaulted on the said day as the lawbreakers felt she did not leave the road for them to pass after blowing thier offended siren. They took laws into thier hands and beat her up. It was an appalling incident...

The case went to court and tomorrow is the hearing. I am beginning to believe in our judicial system in Nigeria. I have faith that justice will be done on Uzoma's case. We raised a lot of awareness on this case, we should try and follow it through

wow just yesterday a couple of friends and i were wondering what ever happened to Uzoma and the whole saga. Good to know court is tomorrow.
i hope she win her case against those lawless bastards.
Here's to hoping they get what they deserve.
i have no idea wat you r on about so i googled the whole issue.
i love the way you do your thing.How r you?
Thought:I should visit Nigeria.
thanks for the update. i do hope that she does get the justice she deserves.....but as many mentioned before....one can't help but wonder whether she is getting justice because of the socioeconomic position of her family.....i really do hope that in this case the effects trickle down.
I really really hope she gets justice!
How're you Mrs?
I've completed the story now...
This case must be followed closely by us. This case could create a serious legal and moral precedent.
How are you?
i will wait till the hearing before i get my hopes up
i pray for her and us all
justice!!!!!!!!!!
thanks once again for keeping us informed
Standy LOVEY,
hmmmmm. My people have a proverb (gosh I have always wanted to use that phrase), that if you push and push and push a goat onto a wall enough, it will turn around and head butt you. So you see, we have been pushed too far unto the wall and here is the justice. The idea that this is being taken to court at all is justice and triumph in and of itself. And I must say I want to come home.
Temite steps out.
i hope she gets justice
I am so impressed that it went to court, justice shall surely prevail...
This is very good news Standtall. Pls keep us posted. Thanks!
Hope she wins and that lot go to jail for assault. You really think that can happen?
At least she got her day in court. Lets hope it won't be fraught with useless motions.
Hope she wins and sets a precedent for this lawless idiots.
I had wondered what happened with this case. I will decide on my belief in the judiciary after the trial. Thanks for the update
Hmm... Glad to know that a case like dis can get to court. But let's hope man-know-man doesn't get into it. Naija can be frustrating sometimes...
I heard over the radio that the Navy officer had been redeployed. That was it! one word "redeployed" kept wondering what that really meant. Didn't realise the case got to court. Nice one, hope she gets justice.
Let there be justice!
I wonder why they only "redeploy" the admiral instead of demotion, suspension or compulsory retirement or sack!
Wish I could be in court today but I am letting you know the court outcome as soon as I know about it
thanks for update! I was wondering what was going to happen with that. Hoping they get what they deserve.
i hope it goes well and justice is served..
How funny! i thought of this incident 2 days ago. glad 2 hear that it hasnt been thrown under d rug.
I do hope she succeeds.
Good to learn that it is being prosecuted.
I hope she wins this case. Justice needs to prevail!
