CIVIL LITIGATION BAR PART 2 RESIT MCQ 2026
Zangina Theodore bought several commodities worth ₦50 million at Zugwa Supermarket. These included a washing machine which cost him ₦500,000. On getting home, his wife Mrs. Amina Theodore discovered that the washing machine was faulty and did not function well. Upon return to the supermarket located along Oshodi-Apapa Road, Lagos, the shop owner, Chief Udoka Balogun, insisted that the machine was not the same as the one he sold to Mr. Zangina Theodore. Despite the description of the machine in the electronic receipt issued by the supermarket and the CCTV footage, the shop owner refused to accept responsibility.
