On Monday, two Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Professor, Kayinsola Ajayi and Etigwa Uwa staged a walkout in court.
This happened at the Federal High Court in Abuja in the N100 billion suit by Senator Ifeanyi Ararume against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ajayi, a Professor of law and Uwa had appeared before Justice Inyang Ekwo to represent the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) in the suit by Ararume challenging his removal as the Chairman of the oil company.
The Judge, however, informed the Senior lawyer to move all the applications together and that he would deliver separate rulings in each of the applications so as to save the judicial time of the court.
However, President Buhari’s counsel, Abubakar Shuaib, prayed the court to dismiss the suit against his client on the grounds that it was statute-barred at the time it was instituted.
After taking arguments from Ararume, President Buhari, and Corporate Affairs Commission, Justice Ekwo fixed 28 March for ruling and possible judgment in the suit.
