In the suit, the applicant sought an order of the court to compel the three respondents to jointly or severally pay him N500 million as general and aggravated damages for the unlawful violation of his rights. Akinyode asked the court to ensure that the matter was given expedited action as he alleged that the SSS are trailing him and his client since the matter started. However, in his reaction to the prayers made by the applicant, Hanan's lawyer, M.E. Sheriff, told the court his client would not be responding to the allegations. Sheriff said with the kind of allegations levelled against the president's daughter there was no need for a response. He informed the court that a written address has been filed by the first respondent as an opposition to the originating motion on notice. “My lord, we didn’t file a counter-affidavit but a written address. We didn’t file because we haven’t found a reason to file a counter-affidavit,” Sheriff said. Recommended for you "Davido, please say something": Lady cries frantically as singer comes onli... In his response, a seemingly angry judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, said there is no way the respondent would say she would not respond to an allegation against her. Dimgba said: “What do you mean you haven’t seen a reason? Sheriff, how can you not see a reason? Somebody has accused you." "Even if it is to say, ‘I didn’t do so’, can’t you respond? You’re saying you did not see a reason. Sheriff, what kind of thing is this?” Dimgba queried. Also, the counsel to the SSS, E.E. Daobri, said the secret police is yet to receive the necessary documents from its headquarters in Abuja and could not file a counter-affidavit as at when due. He prayed the court to grant a two-week adjournment to enable him to put documents needed together. After the submissions made by the parties, Justice Dimgba directed the SSS to stop trailing the applicant.
