The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division yesterday granted an ex-parte application filed by Seplat Energy seeking to suspend the ruling of Justice Inyang Ekwo made in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/626/2023.

Justice Ekwo, of the Federal High Court, Abuja had in an ex-parte order suspended the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roger Brown, and Board Chairman, Mr. Basil Omiyi, pending the determination of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction filed by some aggrieved shareholders of the company.

Dissatisfied with the ruling, Seplat Energy on 15 May, 2023 by its team of lawyers led by Mr. D.D Dodo, SAN, Bode Olanipekun, SAN and Audu Anuga, SAN urged the appellate court to suspend the interim ex parte orders.

They argued that “The applicant is at the risk of irreparable damage to its brand, business, investor equity, contractual and statutory obligations if the orders sought are not granted.”

Ruling on the application, the appellate court comprising of Justices Muhammad Mustapha, (Presided), Justice J. G. Abundaga, and Justice D. Z. Senchi, suspended the enforcement of the ex parte orders granted by Justice I. E. Ekwo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice dated 12th May, 2023 and or pending further directives of the court.

The court consequently adjourned the matter to 30th May 2023 for a hearing of the motion on notice.
