The judge ensured the suit challenging the sacking of Ifeanyi Ararume as the non-executive chair of NNPC Limited continued after the senior lawyers’ walkout on Monday.
Two senior lawyers, Kayinsola Ajayi and Etigwa Uwa, on Monday, staged a walkout on a judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja in the middle of a hearing over the alleged unlawful removal of Ifeanyi Ararume as NNPC Limited’s non-executive chair early last year.
Other lawyers in the case adopted their final addresses, and the judge went on to fix 28 March for judgement at the end of the hearing. Mr Kayinsola contended that his application seeking a stay of proceedings must be heard separately and the ruling delivered by the judge before any other application should be heard.
But Mr Kanyinsola insisted on moving the application for a stay of proceedings against the judge’s directive even after Mr Ararume’s lawyer, Chris Uche , said the application had yet to be served on him.ALSO READ: The plaintiff’s lawyer informed Mr Ekwo that Mr Buhari breached the law by removing Mr Ararume after incorporating the oil company in his name and was billed for inauguration in the capacity.
