The Federal High Court, Lagos, yesterday, struck out a suit filed by some aggrieved shareholders against Seplat Energy, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Roger Brown, and Chairman, Board of Directors, Basil Omiyi, over alleged racism.
Justice Chukwuejekwu Aneke struck out the suit after the stakeholders’ counsel, Ayodele Arotiowa, informed the court of his clients’ intention to withdraw the suit.
The petitioners had asked the court for an order of mandatory injunction restraining the second respondent from parading himself as the CEO of Seplat or working for Seplat in any other capacity. At the resumed hearing of the substantive suit, counsel to the petitioners, Arotiowa, informed the court that his clients had filed notice of withdrawal and were no longer willing to continue with the suit.
Counsel to Seplat’s CEO, Kayode Adesina, informed the court that the notice of withdrawal filed by the petitioners was served on him in court, after the appeal challenging the jurisdiction of the court had been entered at the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division.
