"The Appellant denied these very weighty allegations and put the Respondent to strict proof of any such visit from their official. And indeed, the burden to prove undue influence lay on the Respondent; see Pan Bisbilder Nigeria Ltd v. First Bank of Nigeria Ltd (2000) 1 NWLR (Pt. 642) 684, (2000) LPELR-2900, where the Supreme Court, per Achike, JSC said "Reliance on... undue influence must be established by positive evidence or strong inference that can be drawn from the surrounding circumstances."

 

Per OTISI, J.C.A. IN FBN v. DAVIES CITATION: (2017) LPELR-43556(CA)
