A Federal High Court in Lagos has directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Ministry of Petroleum Resources and National Petroleum Investment & Management Respondent Services (NAPIMS) to stop allocating crude oil to Addax Oil Exploration Plc. The suit was filed by the Federal Government and the Attorney-General of the Federation, while Addax Petroleum Development of Nigeria Limited and Addax Petroleum Exploration (Nigeria) Limited are the first and second defendants/respondents respectively. The judge granted the Mareva Injunction, but ordered the government to swear to an affidavit that it would indemnify the defendants in the event that it misled the court to grant the injunction.
