Alleged Dirty Fuel Importation Nouvelles

Court

An indigenous oil company, Matrix Energy Limited, has filed suits before the Federal Capital Territory High Court seeking N20 billion as damages over reports linking it to the alleged importation of low grade fuel from Malta to Nigeria.

The company and its Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Alhaji Abdulkadir Adisa Aliu, who are the plaintiffs in the suits numbered CV/3718/2024 and CV/3719/2024, described the reports published by two media houses as libelous. In a suit filed by their counsel, Ahmed Raji, SAN, the plaintiffs are praying the court for an order restraining the two media houses from further publishing libelous reports against them.

They also asked for an order compelling the defendants to forthwith delete or cause to be deleted the libelous/defamatory words contained in the publications, as well as an order compelling the defendants to immediately and wholly retract the libelous/defamatory words contained in their publications. In the same vein, the plaintiffs are asking the court to order the defendants to tender an unreserved apology over the publications.
