Also, Maple Petrochemicals, owned by Kwara Governor Abdurahman Abdurazak, had in an application requested the court to restrain OTL, who had executed warrant on its 14 Probyn Road, Ikoyi property in 2022.

The warrant was executed on the property following a 2018 judgment delivered by the court.

Afamefuna and Nwachukwu Ojukwu through their best friend, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu who had filed an application to withdraw an earlier one seeking to join as parties, were not in court, neither were their lawyers.

However, OTL Director, Dr P. Ike Ojukwu; the company’s counsel, Chief Ifeanyi Okumah and Chief Massey Udegbe, OTL Estate agents, were in court.

In another case, Bianca and sons had instituted Form 49 – contempt proceedings against the Ojukwus/OTL and some tenants before Justice A.M. Lawal.

The matter which came up on March 13 at Ikeja was adjourned to June 16.

The lawyer that appeared for Bianca and sons had requested for more time to respond to applications before the court.

The case, LD/1539/2012, in which judgment was delivered in 2022 had Bianca suing OTL on behalf of her sons who at time were minors.

OTL, following judgment by Justice Adedayo Oyebanji on June 1, 2018 in suit LD/794/2011, executed warrant on its properties in Lagos, including the five suits before Justice A.M. Lawal.
