Rita Lori Ogbebor and other individuals have been sued by multinational oil company Chevron Nigeria Limited in a Warri courtroom for allegedly violating a consent judgment by trying to withdraw or transfer money from the Itsekiri Regional Development Committee, IRDC, account, which is held at one of the new generational banks.
Alero Tenumah, Aginejune Agbonekuya, Ebigbeyi Kennedy, Lori Omatie, Aburo Mene-Ejegi, Frank Aberuoluwa, Itse Orugbo, and Richard Omare are among the additional defendants who have joined the lawsuit as the second through tenth defendants, respectively.
The company claimed that the defendants withdrew N300 million from the IRDC’s bank account located in the bank in violation of the GMOU and the mandate and terms of the operation of the IRDC’s bank accounts, ostensibly as legal fees of the 1st – 7th and the 9th –10th defendants, while relying on a consent judgment in EHC/20/2020.
