A co-founder of Trucks Transit Parks Ltd, Mr. Jama Onwubuariri, has asked the Federal High Court in Lagos to discharge an interim injunction it granted against him in respect of his position as the firm’s Managing Director.
Onwubuariri made the prayer in a suit filed by the firm, marked FHC/L/CS/1501/2022 before Justice Justice Akintayo Aluko.
Justice Aluko granted the interim injunction on August 11 restraining Onwubuariri from acting as the firm’s MD pending determination of the dispute.
But, dissatisfied, he appealed the interim injunction and sought a stay of execution and discharge of said order.
Onwubuariri, in a statement, said his lawyers had “filed an application before the court for stay of execution and discharge of the said order on the basis that certain facts were not disclosed to the court in the application for injunction such as the existence of the status quo earlier granted by another judge of the Federal High Court in respect of the same facts and the violation of same by the sponsors of the suit was not disclosed in their plaintiff’s application”.
The matter came up for hearing of the application to discharge the order on August 18, 2022.
The court adjourned till today, August 23, for hearing of the application for stay of execution and discharge of the interim order.
“TTP wishes to state categorically state that the injunction did not declare or appoint Mr. Temidayo Adeboye or anyone else as the Acting Managing Director of TTP.
“Therefore, all stakeholders and the general public are advised to disregard anyone parading him or herself as the Acting Managing Director of TTP and anyone who transacts with such person does so at his or her own risk,” the statement added.
