In his submission before the court, counsel to Imo State Government, Chief Olusola Oke argued on the need to protect his client pending the determination of the suit.

After granting the exparte order, Justice Mohammed ordered the Imo State to join other Oil Producing States as respondents to the suit.

He consequently adjoined the matter to June 15, 2022 for hearing of the motion on notice.
