It is not alien for court to paste a notice on a wall or gate - Oluwatodimu Ige

Oluwatodimu Ige, a Nigerian lawyer popularly known as Oga_thelawyer, pointed out conditions that make court opt for wall or gate pasting when communicating with a defendant.

In his words:

"When it comes to service of court processes on a defendant/respondent, it is not alien for the court to direct the Baliff of the court to serve the process by pasting on the wall or gate of the defendant's last known address.

"The above can only be done if the other party has been unreachable or attempts to serve the same to such person have proven difficult. The party who intends to serve the court processes would be required to bring an application to the court for an order to serve via substituted means. This could mean serving the court processes in national newspapers by affixing the court processes on the defendant's last known address or by registered mail.

"Relying on the above premise, it is not out of place to serve the court processes on her by pasting on her wall if all efforts to serve the court processes on her personally have failed."
