The woman who was attacked and severely injured by soldiers in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has sued the Nigerian Army and her attackers, Punchng reports.
She is, among other things, demanding N250m as damages. Ruth Orji was allegedly attacked by soldiers attached to 174 Battalion, Ikorodu, around 8:30pm on Sunday. .
Images of her, showing the injuries she sustained have gone viral on the social media, sparking outrage. And the Joint Legal Action Aids, the rights group representing her, is optimistic she will get justice in court. .
The General Counsel of the JLAA, Kingsley Ughe, confirmed that he filed the case on her behalf at a Federal High Court in Lagos. He added that the case was not the first the JLAA was instituting against the army in connection with soldiers brutalising civilians. .

NAFDAC Ordered To Direct NBC To Warn Consumers Against Drinking Fanta, Sprite With Vitamin C
The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has been ordered to direct Nigeria Bottling Company (NBC) Plc., manufacturers of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks to add a warning on the bottles of the product, that its content cannot be taken with Vitamin C.
According to The Nation, Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, of the Lagos High Court, Igbosere gave the ordered following a suit filed by businessman Dr Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo and his firm, Fijabi Adebo Holdings Ltd.
The legal action instituted in 2008 had NBC and NAFDAC as defendants.
Fijabi’s lawyer, Abiodun Onidare told the court that his client bought large quantities of different products from NBS for export to the UK but when they arrived at their destination, Fanta and Sprite failed UK Health Authorities’ (Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council’s Trading Standards Department of Environment and Economy Directorate) sample test for human consumption, as they became poisonous when mixed with Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).
The claimants demanded N15, 119,619.37 as special damages and N1, 622,000 being the money the NBC admitted it received from the claimants.
In its defence, the NBC, through its lawyer, T. O. Busari, stated that it was not negligent as claimed by the plaintiff, adding that it has stringent quality control procedures to ensure that its products are safe for end-user consumption.
The NBC argued that the levels of the chemical components in its soft drinks are safe for consumption in Nigeria and that the claimants are not entitled to the recovery of damages arising from their illegal exportation of products meant for local distribution.
NAFDAC did not file any defence in the case.
Justice Oyebanji ruled:
It is imperative to state that the knowledge of the Nigeria Bottling Company that the products were to be exported is immaterial to its being fit for human consumption. The court is in absolute agreement with the learned counsel for the claimants that soft drinks manufactured by Nigeria Bottling Company ought to be fit for human consumption irrespective of colour or creed.
It is manifest that NAFDAC has been grossly irresponsible in its regulatory duties to the consumers of Fanta and Sprite manufactured by Nigeria Bottling Company. In my respective view, NAFDAC has failed the citizens of this great nation by its certification as satisfactory for human consumption, products which in the United Kingdom failed sample test for human consumption and which become poisonous in the presence of Ascorbic Acid ordinarily known as Vitamin C, which can be freely taken by the unsuspecting public with the company’s Fanta or Sprite.
As earlier stated, the court is in absolute agreement with the learned counsel for the claimants that consumable products ought to be fit for human consumption irrespective of race, colour or creed.
By its certification as satisfactory, Fanta and Sprite products manufactured by Nigeria bottling company without any written warning on the products that it cannot be taken with Vitamin C, NAFDAC would have by its grossly irresponsible and unacceptable action caused great harm to the health of the unsuspecting public.
The court, in the light of the damning evidence before it showing that NAFDAC has failed to live up to expectations, cannot close its eyes to the grievous implication of allowing the status quo to continue as it is.
For the reasons herein adumbrated in this judgement, the court hereby orders as follows:
“That NAFDAC shall forthwith mandate Nigeria Bottling Company to, within 90 days hereof, include on all the bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks manufactured by the company, a written warning that the content of the said bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks cannot be taken with Vitamin C as same becomes poisonous if taken with Vitamin C.
In consideration of the fact that this case was filed in 2008 and that it has been in court for nine years, costs of N2 million is awarded against NAFDAC. Interest shall be paid on the costs awarded at the rate of 10% per annum until liquidation of the said sum.”

Photos: Apostle Suleman Storms 5 Countries Abroad For Crusades
The America event is the first leg of his ‘Help From Above’ crusade billed to take his team to five foreign countries within four weeks.
The Oracle of God touched down at the Dulles International Airport, Washington DC, USA on Monday, 13th of March 2017 while the first session of the soul-inspiring crusade took off on the morning of Tuesday, 14th of March, 2017. Other men of God and senior pastors of the OFM in his entourage to the Washington DC programme include Reverend Kingsley Aigbe, Reverend John Azia and Fidelis Ayemoba, Pastor Azemhe Azena, Pst. Irelen Josiah, and many others.
Since January 2017, Apostle Suleman, well known for his life-changing missions around the world, has toured major cities in Nigeria such as Uyo, Abuja, Ekiti and Benin, for the ‘Help From Above’ programme while outside Nigeria, he had visited Nations of Malaysia and Switzerland with the crusade.
Following the ongoing America crusade, the servant of God will move his team to Ghana for the programme which holds between the 20th and 21st of March, while he moves again to Cyprus between April 3rd and 4th, then to Turkey for the April 5th and 6th programme and to Egypt for the final leg of the programme that takes place between April 18th and 19th, 2017.
The two days visit to America will culminate in four sessions of supernatural outpour of God on His people who had travelled from far and near to encounter Him.
It would be recalled that Apostle Suleman visited several cities in America last year, depopulating hell and raising men for God. Worthy of note is the thousands of dollars he donated in cash and gifts to a home for the orphans and less privileged in Philadelphia as well as several other individuals he gave monetary supports and gifts. It is his passion and desire to continue wiping away tears from people’s eyes with his humanitarian gestures.

Photos: SON Discovers Twin Four-Storey Buildings Filled With Altered Expired Products
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria has arrested a cosmetics and wine importer suspected of changing the expiry dates on products and putting new dates on them to mislead buyers, Punchng is reporting.
The importer, Mr. Joseph Udeh, owner of Jouf Nigeria Limited, located at No. 10 Faith Street, off Comfort Oboh Street, Kirikiri Road, Apapa, Lagos, is said to be a major dealer in popular cosmetics and home product brands. .
He converted two four-storey residential buildings, each containing eight rooms into storage facilities for products. A closer look at some of the cosmetics revealed varying expiry dates, some dating as far back as 2004 while some had expired in 2013 and some in 2016. .
Udeh whose shop is located at Balogun Market, Trade Fair complex, said he was a supplier to major retail outlets and some of the major department stores in Nigeria. .
Addressing journalists shortly after the operation, the Head, Inspectorate and Compliance, SON, Mr. , said the importer would face the full wrath of the law. .
“The volume of the goods that expired is inestimable. Imagine a product that should be used in wrapping up a baby in 2017 has expired in 2015, what will be the effect on the baby, of course it would be negative reaction on the baby. .
We have baby powders that have expired since 2013 and four years after, the products are still going into the market. When they sell, they remove the expiry dates and put new dates to deceive the unsuspecting consumers and when you buy these products, you think they are products that can help you, not knowing that they are products that would cause you all sorts of diseases.” .
According to the SON official, many innocent people suffer without knowing the root causes of their illnesses, maintaining that the importer of these expired products are killing and robbing innocent Nigerians of their hard-earned money.
