The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited yesterday failed to halt hearing in a N100 billion suit instituted against President Muhammadu Buhari over the alleged unlawful removal of Senator Ifeanyi Ararume as Board Chairman of the NNPCL, just as two senior lawyers representing the oil company in the suit stormed out of the proceedings.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had on January 11, adjourned the matter to January 23, for definite hearing. Responding, Justice Ekwo declined, insisting that the court would take all motions together, including the substantive suit. However, the court reminded Ajayi that a process already filed before a court was deemed adopted even if the lawyer refuses to do so.Responding, Ararume’s counsel, Chief Chris Uche, urged the court to invoke the Companies and Allied Matters Act to nullify the removal of his client as the Chairman of the NNPCL.
