NBA WINS SUIT AGAINST DAME PAULINE TALLEN, FORMER MINISTER OF WOMEN AFFAIRS AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER “KANGAROO” PUBLIC COMMENTS MADE IN RESPECT OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT JUDGMENT IN SUIT NO. FHC/YL/CS/12/2022
In a significant legal victory, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has emerged triumphant in its lawsuit against Dame Pauline Tallen, former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development.
The lawsuit was initiated in response to Dame Tallen’s public comments characterizing a Federal High Court judgment as “kangaroo.” The successful outcome underscores the NBA’s commitment to upholding the sanctity of judicial decisions and holding public figures accountable for their statements.
According to the Nigerian Bar Association president, YC Maikyau, SAN, OON, “the NBA shall remain committed to maintaining, advancing, and defending the judiciary’s integrity. We will ensure that all those who seek to denigrate the judiciary are brought to book.”
The NBA shall also not fail to call out any judicial officer who fails to abide by his judicial code of conduct, even as we urge judicial officers to take their oath seriously and avoid actions and omissions that will give the appearance of compromise.
The Court ordered that the injunction restraining the defendant from holding any public office in Nigeria shall become perpetual if she fails to abide by the order directing her to publish an apology letter within 30 days.
