An Anambra State High Court sitting in Onitsha has granted the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC), Peter Obi, leave to serve court processes on actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo through substituted means after efforts to personally serve him failed.
The order was made by Justice D.A. Onyefulu on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, in Suit No. O/229/2026, following an ex parte application filed by Obi.
According to the court order, Obi was permitted to serve the writ of summons, accompanying court processes and all subsequent documents by pasting them at Okonkwo's last known residential address at NPR 48 Ofuluonu, Nsukka, Enugu State, close to Ijeoma Fishing Company, or by delivering the documents to any adult found at the residence.
The court further directed that the substituted service must be photographed and the evidence placed in the court's file as proof of compliance with the order.
Justice Onyefulu also ordered that the substituted service be carried out within seven days.
