2019 Campaign: Court Orders Atiku, Saraki To Pay Trader N5m For Using Her Photo
A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his Campaign Director, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to pay N5m damages to a Lagos trader, Amuda Adeleke, for unauthorized use of her photograph on their campaign billboard.
Justice Ayokunle Faji, who made the monetary award in a judgment on Monday, said the N5m would be jointly and severally paid by Atiku, Saraki, the PDP, and Peter Obi, who was Atiku’s running mate in the poll.
In s suit marked FHC/L/CS/19, Adeleke had told the court that the defendants used her photograph on their campaign billboard without her consent.
The trader said this caused her embarrassment and she prayed the court to award N45m against the defendants for infringing on her fundamental right to privacy as enshrined, in the 1999 Constitution.
But after entering judgment in her favour, Justice Faji awarded N5m against the defendants.
