A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, sitting at Kuje division, has ordered M. Saleh & Co. Ltd to refund to a businessman, Celestine Unini, N3.95 million for breach of contract and for supplying him with a faulty and dysfunctional generator.
The generator was intended to serve as an alternative power source for his business and to ensure that perishable goods in refrigerators remained fresh during power outages. Unini promptly reported the issue to M. Saleh & Co. Ltd, which sent its technicians to repair the generator on multiple occasions between December 2021 and March 2022. Despite these repairs and servicing, the generator remained dysfunctional and unfit for its intended purpose.
