The company was reacting to an online publication dated July 17, 2022, that said the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, had granted an ex parte order against the company and other respondents to the suit.
It said in a statement that up until it received a court order at around 3 p.m. on Monday, it was unaware of any such lawsuit or court order pertaining to their AGM.
