An Onitsha High Court No. 4, under the leadership of Justice Sylvester Odili, has postponed the hearing of a motion for an interlocutory injunction to Tuesday, December 10.
The motion aims to prevent the Ekwerekwu family of Onitsha from interfering with the possession and use of the Onitsha Sports Club premises or demolishing any structures located on the property.
The adjournment came after a request from G. Ezeuko SAN, the newly appointed counsel for the second defendant, Valentine Ekwerekwu, who asked for more time to review the case.
The legal representatives for the applicants, Nnamdi Ibegbu SAN and A. C. Anaenugwu SAN, did not object to the request, leading the court to agree to the new date.
The motion, labeled 0/285M/2024, was filed by the Incorporated Trustees of Onitsha Sports Club and Chief Dan Okafor, the Club’s President, along with other applicants.
