Court orders ex-PDP Chairman’s wife, Marianne Ahmadu Ali, to pay N30 million to her P.A for locking her up in a dog’s cage

The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has awarded N30 million against Mrs Marianne Ahmadu Ali, wife of a former National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmadu Ali, for lôcking up her personal assistant, Ms. Deborah Longs Nanpon, in a filthy dog’s cage for 3 days.

Justice Akanbi- Yusuf held that Ms. Deborah was unlawfully detained by the politician’s wife in a dehumanizing condition.

Besides the monetary compensation of N30 million, the court further ordered Marianne to tender a public apology to her personal assistant in a national newspaper. The case was supported by the Human Rights Radio & Television, Abuja with the services of lawyers from the International Federation of Women Lawyers.

The bizarre story broke out sometime in April 2022, about how Dr. Mrs. Marianne Ahmadu Ali, wife of a former National Chairman of the PDP, Ahmadu Ali dehumanised her personal assistant.
