The firm claimed that the money represented the cost of unpaid air tickets purchased from it by Adelegan and 25 percent interest from last August 10, until final liquidation. In a statement of claim filed by its lawyer, Hammed Oyekunle, in Suit No: MCL/92/2017, the firm is also claiming the sum of N200,000 as costs. The statement, deposed to by the firm’s secretary Tolani Sarumi on January 31, stated that the defendant refused and neglected to pay the debt despite repeated demands for same. It said the firm approached the Lagos State Citizens’ Mediation Centre where a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was entered between it and the defendant who was represented by one Miss Aruwajoye Simisola. An agreement, it said, was reached last October 18, through the MoU whereby the defendant was required to pay N207,000 monthly within seven months starting from the date of agreement. The defendant, it claimed, only paid N100,000 of the amount which fell due last November 30, but “neglected, failed and refused to honour the terms of the MoU.” On January 26, the court, in line with Order 3 Rule 1 of the Magistrate Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) Rules 2009, issued a summary summons on the defendant.]]>
