A Lagos State High Court has restrained Chevron Nigeria Limited
chief medical director, Dr.Rotimi Babalola, from evicting his wife,
Mrs. Adediwura Adebukola Babalola, from their matrimonial home.

Justice Olukayode Ogunjobi specifically barring Dr. Babalola by
himself his servants, privies, or workmen from entering,
trespassing, or otherwise disturbing the possession of the building
at N0 8, service Crescent, Cooperative Villa, Badore, Ajah, Lagos
pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice filed
in the divorce petition filed by his wife.

The judge granted the order after hearing arguments canvassed by
the petitioner’s counsel, Adeleke Agbola, who pleaded for
accelerated grant of the injunction in view of the insistence of
the Chevron CMD to unlawfully evict his wife from the matrimonial
home.

The motion on notice was adjourned to the 20th of September 2021
when the Lagos State High Court will resume from its annual
vacation.

Mrs. Babalola had earlier filled the petition before Lagos State
High Court in Suit No: LD/9231WD/2021 when all the attempts by
counsel to her husband, Olusola Idowu SAN of Olusola Idowu & Co.,
and her counsel Adeleke Agbola of Cheakley Chambers to make the
husband embrace peaceful settlement failed to yield any result.
