A Chief Magistrate’s Court in Delta has restrained Unity Bank Plc from financial and contractual dealings with Oleh Community Development Association (OCDA) in Delta State led by Believe Alakri.
Other entities restrained by the court from dealing with the embattled OCDA’s leadership are Agip Oil Company of Nigeria Ltd, Heritage Energy Operational Services Ltd., and OML 30 Community Development Board.
Chief Magistrate B.O. Williams granted the interim order of injunction following a motion ex-parte filed by aggrieved members of the OCDA led by Israel Onokurefe.
A copy of the order made available to NAN on Friday showed the court also restrained Alakri and members of his executive committee from parading themselves as the leaders of OCDA pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
On December 27, 2023, to prevent breach of peace in Oleh community, the court halted the conduct of the election for the leadership of the Community Development Association.
The order was sequel to an application by Onakurefe and four others alleging manipulation, violation of the association’s constitution and state guidelines against the outgoing president of the association.
In the new motion filed by the applicants, they contended that the three-year tenure of Alakri-led leadership of the community association had expired.
