The Federal High Court in Lagos has summoned the Chairman of Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, Dr. Ambrose Orjiako, over alleged disobedience of an order of court.<\/p>\n

Justice Hadiza Shagari on Wednesday ordered that Orjiako must appear before her on October 16 to defend the allegation of contempt of court levelled against him by a firm, AOS Orwell Ltd.<\/p>\n

AOS Orwell had accused Orjiako of wilfully and deliberately violating an order made by Justice Shagari on November 8, 2016. The firm, through its lawyer, Mr. Kunle Ogunba (SAN), is urging the court to commit Orjiako “to prison and\/or protective custody of any of the detaining security agencies or at any designated prison\/reformatory centre in Nigeria’s territorial landscape until he purges himself of the contempt of the majesty of this honourable court.”<\/p>
