A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed the 15th of December, 2022 for the hearing of a N100b Suit filed against President Muhammadu Buhari over an alleged unlawful removal of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume as a non Executive Chairman of the newly-incorporated Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
Senator Araraume is claiming the sum from the Federal Government as damages caused him in the alleged unlawful and unconstitutional way and manner he was removed as the NNPC Chairman after using his name to incorporate the entity.
At the hearing of the suit, Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo ordered that the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) be joined as a party in the suit in the absence of an objection from Chief Chris Uche (SAN) who represented Araraume and Alhasan Shuaib who represented President Buhari.
Justice Ekwo subsequently fixed December 15 for mention in the suit and ordered that the amended originating summons be served on parties before the adjourned date.
