• Attempting to undermine final judgment of the Supreme Court
Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja
The attention of Nestoil Limited, Neconde Energy Ltd. and other interested stakeholders has been drawn to the Press Release issued by Mr. Abubakar Sulu-Gambari, SAN, purporting to act as Receiver/Manager over Nestoil Limited and certain assets of Neconde Energy Limited.
Whilst the said publication admits that the Supreme Court has set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal that granted injunctive reliefs in favour of the purported receiver/manager, he has asked the public to proceed as if the decision of the Supreme Court has no bearing or effects on his exercise of powers as receiver manager. This same person had, upon issuance of ex parte orders by the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal (now set aside by the Supreme Court) taken out paid publications indicating that those inappropriate (and now declared as unlawful) orders implied that the public should only deal with him. Now that he has completely lost all judicial cover for his purported receivership, he has resorted to assuming the status of interpreter of the law to hoodwink the general public. If he did not need the orders that have now been set aside to function, why did he and his appointors apply to obtain them in the first place, especially in clandestine manners that the Supreme Court has now berated.
