The court, as a result, ordered that parties maintain the status quo and adjourned the matter until July 20, for a hearing.
During the proceedings, the Federal Government’s counsel, Ochum Emmanuel, informed the court that he was ready to proceed with his application.
He told the court that the matter was scheduled for Monday for the claimant to take its motion on notice for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the defendants from embarking on strike. On his part, the defendant’s counsel, Marshall Abubarkar, reminded the court that they had filed an application praying the court to vacate the order which restrained the organised union from embarking on strike.
Abubakar further said that the claimant was served the application on June 8, only for them to serve a counter-affidavit on Monday, in court.Opposing Abubakar’s application for adjournment, Emmanuel urged the court to allow him to take his motion on notice which was slated for hearing. He averred that the defendants were not equally prepared before the court as they had not filed their memorandum of appearance.
