A Nigerian court fines ADC chieftain Nkemakolam Ukandu N100 million after dismissing his lawsuit accusing two judges of bias. According to reports, the court throws out the case for want of diligent prosecution, citing that Ukandu abandoned the proceedings rather than pursuing the matter to completion. The dismissal follows his allegations that the judges were not impartial, which led him to file a suit against them. After the case is dismissed, the court imposes the monetary penalty as a consequence of failing to prosecute the suit diligently. The two outlets covering the matter present consistent details: the plaintiff is an ADC political figure, the case concerns alleged judicial bias involving two judges, the court’s reason for dismissal is lack of diligent prosecution, and the fine imposed is N100 million. The reports do not indicate that the court rules on the merits of the bias allegations, focusing instead on procedural grounds related to the plaintiff’s handling of the case.
