Court adjourns Falana’s suit against VeryDarkMan to January 2025

He said, “Preemptive remedy proceedings ends after injunction is granted or refused.

“They have gone ahead to file a writ, using the same suit number as the preemptive remedy proceedings.

“And the court said no, that a fresh writ of summons with a new suit number, needs to be filed.

“At this point my lord, we will be seeking for a date to hear our preliminary objection”.

Omorogbe further urged the court to withdraw a motion dated Oct. 18.

He said the motion was a move to appeal on the ground that the claimants had admitted, there was an issue in respect to the preemptive proceedings.

Justice Dawodu, however, struck out the motion, following no objections from the claimants counsel.

“I will give you a date for hearing because we are talking about a writ that is not before the court,” Dawodu said.

The judge thereafter adjourned the case until Jan.23, 2025 for hearing of the preliminary objections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court also adjourned the sister case involving Falz and VDM on the same ground.

The court had on Oct. 14 ordered VeryDarkMan to bring down the alleged defamatory video which he made on Sept. 24 against the Falanas.

The court had made the order following an ex parte originating application filed by Falana and his son against the actions of VeryDarkMan.

The court had ordered VeryDarkMan to bring down an unverified audio recording of a one sided narrative by a cross dresser, Bobrisky, alleging perversion of justice by Falana and son.
