The plaintiffs through their Counsel Chief Bolaji Ayorinde SAN told Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa on Wednesday that the occupants of the properties in contention were molested by breaking the doors while relying on the experte order obtained by AMCON before Justice Aneke on the 2nd of October by counsel C. Ezenduka despise an interlocutory injunction granted by Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa on the 25th of June AMCON

Plaintiffs in the contempt proceedings are Marcellina Jolaoso and Bankole Jolaoso who both instituted the action as executrix of the estate of the late Mr Olujimi Jolaoso

The defendants in the suit are Safe Equip Nigeria Limited, AMCON, Mr Gbenga Alade, Managing Director/CEO AMCON, MR. Aloyaius .C. Ezenduka and MR. Robert Ohuoba.

The Form 48, Notice of Consequences of Disobedience to Court Order and Form 49, Notice to Show Cause Why Order of Attachment Should not be made, filed by the plaintiffs, was sighted by our correspondent in court today.

It would be recalled that the AMCON and the executrix of the Late Olujimi Jolaoso Estate are contending parties at the Federal High Court, Lagos over the ownership of the property which was alleged to have been used to secure an unpaid facility from FCMB bank, a debt that was consequently bought by AMCON in line with the Act establishing the Corporation.

It is the plaintiff’s contention that its tenants were evicted while the action between the parties was pending before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa.

It also contends that there was an interim order restraining AMCON from tampering with the said property pending hearing and determination of the suit and the substantive motion was thereafter adjourned for hearing till October 3, 2024, with the knowledge of the defendant.

It claims that despite these, the defendants allegedly went ahead to file an ex-parte application before another judge of the Federal High Court, Lagos division wherein they secured an order on October 2, 2024, to take over the same property that is subject of litigation.

The next day, armed with the ex-parte order, AMCON and its solicitors accompanied by the police, stormed the property in contention, and allegedly ejected its occupants and kept the property under lock and key.

Justice Allagoa adjourned the case till 14th October, for hearing.
