Dissatisfied with the court order nisi, the logistics firm, Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, through its lawyer, Kunle Ogunba (SAN) leading Obinna A. Divine, T. O. Ogunba, K. O. Ogunba and Oludare Amusan, approached the Court, to set aside the Order.

The logistics firm approached the federal High Court for setting aside the garnishee order Nisi, with a motion on notice pursuant to Order 26 of the High Court Of Lagos State {Civil Procedure Rules 2009, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

The logistics firm also listed the following grounds, for court to set aside the garnishee order Nisi: “that this Honourable Court handed down Judgment’ in favour of the Judgment Creditor in this suit on the 13th day of March, 2024.

“Being dissatisfied with the Judgment of this honourable court delivered on the 13th day of March, 2024, the 3rd Judgment Debtor promptly appealed the said Judgment to the Court of Appeal, particularly filing its Notice of Appeal against the said Judgment on the 22nd day of April, 2024.

“The 3rd Judgment Debtor in addition, compiled and transmitted the Record of Appeal to the Court of Appeal on the 20th day of June, 2024. And that the 3rd Judgment Debtor ensured the diligent prosecution of its Appeal by ensuring its Notice of Appeal (filed on the 224 day of April, 2024) was served on the Judgment Creditor on the 2nd day of May, 2024.

“Though the 3rd Judgment Debtor filed an application for stay of execution which was dismissed, the Applicant’s appeal was duly entered at the registry of the Court of Appeal, thus conferring only on the Court of Appeal, the jurisdiction to entertain anything regarding the matter, including processes towards executing the judgment.

“Notwithstanding, its awareness and knowledge of the 3rd Judgment Debtor’s Appeal, the Judgment Creditor (Nigeria Engineering Works Limited) subsequently sought to execute the Judgment of this honourable court, and particularly filed a garnishee ex-parte application on the 5th day of July, 2024.

“The judgment creditor deliberately concealed the facts of the pendency of the 3rd Judgment Debtor’s Appeal (particularly the 3rd Judgment Debtor’s Notice of Appeal filed on the 22nd day of April, 2024) from this Honourable Court, despite having been earlier served with the Judgment Creditor’s Notice of Appeal against the Judgment of this Honourable Court on 2nd day of May, 2024.

“This Honourable Court (unaware of the 3rd judgment debtor’s Appeal), while hearing the judgment creditor’s Garnishee Exparte Application, granted the judgment creditor’s Garnishee Exparte Application and pronounced an Order Nisi, attaching the bank accounts of Defendants in this suit on the 8 day of July, 2024.

“The Garnishee Order Nisi entered by this Honourable Court was made without Jurisdiction as it is only the Court of Appeal that now has the Powers to entertain any process relating to the matter, since the Appeal has been entered prior to the grant of the ORDER NISI.

“This honourable court has the powers to set aside its Order Nisi that was made on 8th of July, 2024, without jurisdiction.”

The logistics firm also supported the motion with a 16 paragraph-affidavit, deposed to by Ifeanyi Uchenna Odo, a lawyer in the law firm of Kunle Ogunba & Associates, and a written address, wherein it prayed the court to discharge the garnishee order Nisi was made without jurisdiction.

However, the judgment creditor, through it’s lawyer, Benjamin Obi, opposed the motion on notice for the discharge of garnishee order Nisi, and urged the court not to discharge the order.

Ruling on the motion today, Justice Aluko, after legally analyzed all the processes filed before the court, and the legal authorities cited by the parties, acceded to the logistics firms’ request and discharged the Garnishee Order Nisi made on July 8, 2024,
