The Lagos State High Court sitting at Tapa has issued a 14-day interim injunction restraining real estate developer, Kennedy Okonkwo, his firm, Capital Gardens Limited, and media personality, Azuka Francisca Ogujiuba from further publishing or republishing alleged defamatory statements against Ikenna Jideofor and Adewale Oladapo.
Justice T.B. Sunmonu granted the order following an ex parte application filed by Ikenna Jideofor Ogbu and Premium Homes and Property Consultant Ltd, represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adedayo Adedeji.
The claimants are seeking redress over two posts published on May 23 and 28, 2025, titled: “Beware of Buying Hampton Estate from Ikenna Jideofor & Adewale Oladapo” and “Beware: Ikenna Jideofor of Premium Homes and Adewale Oladapo of Oretol are hurriedly building on lands they do not own.”
Justice Sunmonu, in granting the interim relief, held that there was urgency and a risk of irreparable damage if the alleged libel continued unchecked.
The court barred the defendants, their agents, and associates from further spreading the disputed publications and ordered them to retract the statements across all platforms, including Ogujiuba’s Instagram handle, @mediaroomhub.
Additionally, the court mandated that the order be published in two widely circulated national dailies and on all platforms where the original content appeared.
The interim injunction remains in effect for 14 days pending further legal proceedings.
