Breaking: Court stops Chevron’s CMD from evicting wife

A Lagos High Court has restrained Chevron Nigeria Limited Chief Medical Director (CMD), Dr.Rotimi Babalola, from evicting his wife, Mrs. Adediwura Adebukola Babalola, from their matrimonial home.

Justice Olukayode Ogunjobi specifically barred Babalola, his servants, privies, or workmen from entering, trespassing, or otherwise disturbing the possession of the building at N0. 8, Service Crescent, Cooperative Villa, Badore, Ajah, Lagos pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice filed in the divorce petition filed by his wife.

The judge granted the order after hearing arguments canvassed by the petitioner’s counsel, Adeleke Agbola, who pleaded for accelerated grant of the injunction in view of Babalola’s alleged insistence to evict Adediwura from their matrimonial home.

The motion on notice was adjourned to September 20 when the Lagos State High Court will resume from its annual vacation.

The suit is numbered LD/9231WD/2021.
