A High Court in Delta State has thrown out a molestation suit filed against a former Minister of State for Education, Kenneth Gbagi, by his former staff, Okiemute Diaghwarhe.
Delivering his judgement, Justice Emmanuel Z. Dolor said that the case lacked merit.
The judge also stated that the applicant, Diaghwarhe failed to do her homework before filing the suit against Gbagi.
He said “For N3bn suit, the applicant did too little and should have been more painstaking, clinical and intentional in her approach to the case; after all, time does not really run against an intending applicant in fundamental rights actions.

“In the light of the foregoing, the substantive issue for determination which I set out to resolve at the outset of this judgment shall be resolved against the applicant, and it is hereby so resolved because I specifically find out that none of the applicant’s fundamental rights has been, is being or is likely to be infringed upon by any of the respondents, and I so hold.
“The application filed by the applicant for the enforcement of her fundamental rights is hereby dismissed for lack of merit”
Diaghwarhe had filed a lawsuit against Kenneth Gbagi for allegedly stripping her and three of his other hotel staff naked over the alleged theft of N5000 from the hotel’s funds.
