Justice Inyang Ekwo, in his judgment on Tuesday, restored Ararume as chairman and awarded him N5 billion in damages against President Buhari and the NNPCL.
It will be recalled that Buhari, had on January 17, 2023 removed Ararume from office as the non-executive Chairman of NNPCL, an action that did not go well with him, as he dragged Buhari to court, praying the court to declare his removal as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional and that it was a total breach of CAMA law under which the NNPCL was incorporated.
Ararume further prayed the court to order his restoration back to office and also demanded the payment of N100 billion as compensation for damages he suffered both nationally and internationally.
