Why the case was settled now (2026) even though the incident happened in 2024, court cases in Nigeria often take months to years. This judgment was delivered in May 2026, after:

Filing of the lawsuit

Exchange of court documents

Hearings and witness testimony

Final judgment

This timeline is normal for civil defamation cases.
