Vacation judge Justice Nicholas Oweibo made the interim order following an ex parte application filed by Mr Oginni, 87.
The Indian nationals, who are also the first to third respondents in the suit, are: Mr. Jai Bhagwan Gupta, and his two sons, Vineet Gupta and Rachit Gupta.
Justice Oweibo also restrained the respondents from convening any meeting at Mushin, Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, or at Victoria Island, all in Lagos, for the removal of the couple as the firm’s directors, pending the hearing and determination of the originating summons.
The judge made the interim orders after hearing the octogenarian, through his counsel, Mr. Yakubu Galadima.
Oginni had claimed that without his consent or a board resolution to that effect, the Indians, sometime in November, 2017, illegally removed and changed the signatory to the corporate accounts of the firms.
He also averred that the Indians had, by a Notice of Extra Ordinary General Meeting scheduled to take place on August 21, 22 and 23, respectively, proposed to remove him and his wife as a director and to strip them of their membership of the firms.
The judge fixed September 5 to hear the substantive suit.
