Two senior members of the legal team who filed the case for
Ms. Warmate confirmed same via Twitter.
Remember that video of a Nigerian Senator slapping/assaulting a young lady at a shop? Well justice was served today with the Court slamming the sum of N50M against the Senator. I am delighted to have represented that young lady in this suit. We say no more to oppression!
Nelson!
