Appeal Court asked to reverse FG’s fresh allocation of 4 oil wells
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri ABUJA— The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has been asked to overturn the Federal Government’s recent decision to allocate four new oil wells in the Niger Delta region.
The appellants, in the motion filed through a team of lawyers led by Chief Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, SAN, prayed the court to set aside the allocations and restore the four oil fields to the status quo that existed when the appeal and their application for stay were filed.
