In his one hour judgment, Justice Enebeli berated Nigerians who desperately resort to cheat themselves and ordered the owner of AMC product Nigeria limited, Ibinabo Fiberesima, that the sum of N10.8million be awarded to the applicant, MISS EARTH NIGERIA 2011/2012 as damages.
The counsel to the claimant, Linus Ndatigh who spoke to newsmen after the judgment, explained the reasons why his client came to court, adding that their prayers were not fully taken but commended the judgement.
Also speaking, Miss Earth Nigeria 2011/12, Monachi Chineye said that what was happening in the world of beauty pageant was unbelievable.
"I thank God that the court has granted my request. What happened to me is unfortunate. I contested when I was young and I am 25 now, my dream was almost shattered. I am happy. You will be surprised to know what happens behind the scenes in every Beauty pageant. Thank God my case has been justified," Monachi said.
