The originating summons filed by the counsel to the company, Yusuf Ali, SAN, noted that since the “unconstitutional” closure of the industry on May 16, 2014, it has been losing about N60m weekly on account of maintenance, overhead and loss of income on production of its various products. The company also sought injunction restraining the agency or any of its agents or officers from further disturbance, closure or interference with the production activities of the factory located at Asa Dam Road, Ilorin.
Ali, who observed that NAFDAC did not notify the industry of any contravention of the Act or Regulation, prayed the court to lift the closure of the soap company and re-open it immediately.
