Justice Sunmonu made the order after being satisfied that there was real urgency in the matter and that irreparable harm could occur if the reliefs sought were not granted.

The court also held that granting the injunction was in the interest of justice.

The suit was instituted by Ikenna Jideofor Ogbu and Premium Homes and Property Consultant Limited (the claimants/applicants) through their counsel, Adedayo Adedeji (SAN) in Suit numbered LD/5250CMW/2025.

In the ex-parte motion, brought pursuant to Orders 42 and 43 of the Lagos State High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019, and the Expeditious Disposal of Civil Cases Practice Direction No. 2 of 2019, the applicants sought multiple reliefs.

Among the orders granted by the court were: “An interim injunction restraining the defendants and their agents or privies from further publishing or causing to be republished the alleged defamatory statements mentioned above.

“An order compelling the defendants to retract all defamatory posts made against the claimants on social media and electronic platforms, particularly on the third defendant’s Instagram handle, @mediaroomhub.

“An order directing service of the interim injunction through publication in two widely circulated national newspapers and on all electronic and social media platforms where the defamatory publications appeared.”

The orders are to remain in force for 14 days, inclusive of the date the ruling was delivered.
