Felix Uket
Speaking with calitown.com, Uket revealed that, “for such a vicious and life threatening attack on me, an attack that killed my football career, what can N200, 000, do for me?” He went on to say that “my family and I consider the sum awarded me as outrageous when you consider what I went through in the hands of my attackers and even what I also went through during my admission in hospital and after I was discharged”. Because they are unhappy with the judgement, it was further revealed to calitown.com that an appeal will be filed at a higher court to ensure that “justice is done to me and that my case will be a lesson for several other people who may want to act like my attackers”, Uket concluded.
