adsOn 22nd May 2026, the Federal High Court delivered Rulings in the ongoing legal tussle between Rite Foods Limited (Rite Foods) and Mamuda Beverages Nigeria Limited (Mamuda), where it held that Mamuda complied with the content of the consent judgment entered by the Federal High Court on 4th March 2025, in Suit No FHC/ABJ/CS/139/2025 filed by Rite Foods Limited against Mamuda Beverages Limited. The Court refused to order the confiscation and destruction of the popular “Pop Power” Energy Drink being produced by Mamuda Beverages Nigeria Limited, as requested by Rite Foods Limited, holding that the “In compliance with the above judgment, the Defendant effected changes to the color of its bottle cap from bright yellow to “golden olive” and also changed its bottle from “black” to “olive green”. It also replaced the word “classic” on the bottle with “original” and the boarder lines to yellow. It thereafter withdrew the entire “Pop Power” energy drink with “classic variant” from the market as ordered by the Court.”
It may be recalled that Rite Foods Limited, worried about the rising dominance of “Pop Power” energy drinks in the market, approached the Federal High Court in January 2026 seeking an Anton-Pillar Injunction against Mamuda Beverages Nigeria Limited, aimed at taking “Pop Power” energy drinks out of the market. This is despite the earlier judgment of the Federal High Court, in which Rite Foods and Mamuda Beverages settled the trade dispute, as a result of which a consent judgment was entered, and the Federal Court found that Mamuda has complied, as can be seen above.
