A Federal High Court has awarded N50,000 damages in favour of a foremost rights group seeking diligence in the Malabu oil scandal.
The Human and Environmental Development Agenda had sued the Attorney General of the Federation in its bid to ensure transparency and diligence in the Malabu oil allocation by Nigerian authorities.
The Malabu case has already assumed international dimension with Shell, Eni and their officials being prosecuted at a Milan court for their roles in the scandal. The 1st Respondent applied for an adjournment because they are just appearing in the matter for the first time adding that they require some time to study the processes to enable them enter the matter properly.
The 2nd respondent said that they were not opposed to the adjournment but stated that the applicant was yet to respond to its preliminary objection since December 13, last year and urged the court to uphold its pronouncement of the February 25 that the preliminary objections be taken before delving into the originating motion.
