Celebrating our Legal Wins and Victories

Highlighted Cases and Ongoing Appeals

At Amaka Eke & Co., we pride ourselves on diligent representation at all stages of litigation. While many of our cases have resulted in favorable outcomes, others remain on appeal as we continue to fight for justice on behalf of our clients. Below are examples that reflect our unwavering commitment to legal excellence:

✓Challenging Unlawful Telecom Practices: Our Principal Solicitor, Amaka Eke Esq., successfully instituted legal proceedings against a leading telecommunications company in Nigeria over unsolicited service subscriptions and unlawful airtime deductions from her personal line. The case set a strong precedent on consumer protection and regulatory compliance within Nigeria’s telecom sector. Although the judgment is currently under appeal, the matter exemplifies our firm’s resolve to champion accountability — even in cases of personal violation.

✓ Advocating Against Unlawful Debit Card Seizure: Our Principal Solicitor, Amaka Eke Esq., personally instituted legal action against a commercial bank over the unlawful seizure of her debit card. Although the initial claim was unsuccessful at the trial court, the matter is currently on appeal. This case reflects not only our firm’s legal expertise but also our unwavering commitment to pursuing justice through every available legal channel — including when the violation directly affects us.

✓We successfully recovered outstanding debts for clients by employing the Undefended List Procedure, a streamlined legal process designed for clear-cut cases of debt or liquidated money demands. This approach facilitated a swift judgment in favor of our client, demonstrating our proficiency in utilizing specialized legal mechanisms to expedite debt recovery.

✓Recovery of Premises: Effectively represented landlords in reclaiming possession of properties from tenants who had defaulted on rent payments. By adhering to the statutory requirements, including the issuance of appropriate notices and compliance with legal procedures, we secured favorable court orders for possession. This case underscores our expertise in landlord-tenant disputes and our ability to navigate the complexities of property law to protect our clients’ interests.

✓ Strategic Criminal Defense Through Plea Bargaining: In a complex criminal case, we negotiated a favorable plea bargain for our client, resulting in a reduced sentence and expedited resolution. This outcome underscores our adeptness in employing plea bargaining—a process where the defendant and prosecution reach a mutually satisfactory agreement, subject to court approval—to serve our clients’ best interests.

✓ Case Dismissal Due to Lack of Diligent Prosecution: We successfully took over and defended some clients in a protracted legal battle that was ultimately dismissed due to the prosecution’s lack of diligence. This result emphasizes our commitment to ensuring that our clients’ rights are protected, particularly when facing undue delays or procedural inefficiencies in the judicial process.

✓ ₦551+ Million Judgment: which we secured in a loan facility debt recovery action, where the court upheld our client’s right to recover the full outstanding sum from the borrower. The judgment is currently on appeal.

✓ Declaration of Title and Recovery of Possession: We successfully represented our client in a land dispute involving ownership and possession of a plot of land in Abuja. We established our client’s legal title to the property and demonstrated unlawful occupation by the opposing party. The court granted declaratory reliefs, including a declaration of title, perpetual injunctions, and general damages for trespass and obstruction of possession. This case highlights our firm’s strength in resolving complex land disputes and securing clear judicial recognition of our clients’ proprietary rights.

✓ Summary Judgment for Refund of Wrongfully Collected Regulatory Fees:We successfully obtained through summary judgment in a claim involving the refund of funds wrongfully collected under the pretense of regulatory compliance.

✓Enforcement of Buyer’s Rights in Property Transaction: We successfully represented the claimant in a dispute involving breach of contractual obligations by a real estate company. The trial court upheld our client’s claims, awarded damages, and dismissed the defendants’ counterclaim in its entirety.

✓ Technological Innovation in Legal Practice: We Facilitated virtual hearings for clients based outside jurisdiction and even outside Nigeria, ensuring seamless participation in legal proceedings without unnecessary delays.

✓Disqualification of Opposing Counsel: We filed and obtained an order disqualifying opposing counsel due to conflict of interest arising from prior involvement in the disputed transaction. The court agreed that continued representation would compromise the fairness of the proceedings.
