Most of
you haven't even heard the full story yet but have already come to the
conclusion that suing them is quite unnecessary, he's just looking for
money, well that's not the case at all, he made some very good
points....read up and understand.
He is
currently demanding for N100million as compensation for jobs lost,
contact lost, for the inconveniences, and for being mistreated by
Etisalat staff.
Read the statement from his lawyer below:
We are
solicitors to Mr. Julius Agwu, one of Nigeria's most sought after
entertainers (hereinafter referred to as "our client") and on whose
behalf we write.
Our client is the owner of the Etisalat GSM phone number 08189555555,
which he uses as his business line. On the 8th of October, 2013, our
client travelled out of the country and returned on the 17th of the same
month. Upon his return, he tried severally to make calls from the
aforestated GSM line but same could not connect. Not only could he not
make calls, he also could not receive calls on the said GSM line. This
continued for some days until he got a message that his line had been
blocked by the network provider.
Sequel to the above message, our client promptly visited your Abuja
office at Hilton to report the matter. He was attended to by one Miss
Joan, who informed him that somebody swapped his line. After our client
successfully answered the security questions put to him, he was informed
that his line had been restored, but the credit balance on the line was
not returned.
Surprisingly,
our client's aforestated line was blocked again after he left your said
Abuja office. Once again our client visited your office at the local
wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Ikeja, Lagos to lodge
a complaint, but painfully, nothing was done about it.
However,
after sometime, our client was invited for a meeting at your head
office in Lagos on the 14th of November, 2013 which he duly honoured.
Present at the meeting (in addition to the officials of your
organization) was Mr. Mobolaji Okusaga, the Managing Director of The
Quadrant Company, in his capacity as media agents/managers for Etisalat
Nigeria.
At the
end of the meeting, our client was told for the umpteenth time that they
would get back to him, which they again failed to do.
LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
It
cannot be over emphasized that your actions of unlawfully blocking
and/or swapping our client's line occasioned loss of business
opportunities to him. As you are aware, our client as one of the most
sought after Nigerian entertainers needs his phone line to be easily
accessible to keep his business going. It therefore goes without saying
that our client has lost some business opportunities as a result of your
actions.
TAKE
NOTICE that we have our client's firm instruction to demand and hereby
demand the sum of N100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million Naira) as
compensation for the loss of business opportunities and the
inconvenience caused our client by reason of your unlawful and
unjustified blocking and/or swapping of our client's Etisalat GSM phone
line.
TAKE
FURTHER NOTICE that in the event that you fail, refuse or neglect to
accede to our above stated demand within seven (7) days from the receipt
of this letter, we shall be compelled to set in motion against you, all
legal machineries necessary to obtain legal remedy for our client.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
