Breakung news about ortom and jime court judgement

I'm assuming you're referring to the recent court judgment involving Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, and Jimoh Ibrahim, a businessman.

Breaking News:

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled in favor of Jimoh Ibrahim, a businessman, in a dispute over the ownership of the Global Fleet Group, a company that was allegedly seized by Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.

Background:

Jimoh Ibrahim had claimed that he was the rightful owner of the Global Fleet Group, a company that was allegedly seized by Governor Ortom in 2015. Ibrahim had alleged that Ortom's administration had illegally taken over the company, which was valued at over N100 billion.

Court Ruling:

In a ruling delivered on Monday, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Governor Ortom and his administration to return the Global Fleet Group to Jimoh Ibrahim. The court also ordered the Benue State Government to pay Ibrahim a sum of N100 million as damages for the alleged illegal takeover of the company.

Reactions:

Reacting to the court ruling, Jimoh Ibrahim's lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), described the judgment as a "victory for justice" and a "setback for Governor Ortom's administration". He stated that the judgment has vindicated Ibrahim's claim to ownership of the company.

On the other hand, the Benue State Government has vowed to appeal the judgment, describing it as "unfair" and "unjust". The government's lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), argued that the court's decision was based on a "misconception of the facts" and that the government had acted in good faith in taking over the company.

Implications:

The court ruling has significant implications for the Benue State Government, which had allegedly used the Global Fleet Group to fund various projects and initiatives. The judgment may also have implications for the state's economy, as the company's assets and resources are returned to Jimoh Ibrahim.

The ruling is also seen as a major setback for Governor Ortom's administration, which had been accused of corruption and abuse of power. The judgment may also have implications for the governor's re-election bid in 2023.
