Ce Triple F Global Vs Kogi Assembly: Court adjourns case of N15.7million contract controversy to March 2

Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja, has adjourned the case between a private firm, Ce Triple F Global versus the Kogi State House of Assembly, over alleged N15, 780,920 million contract indebtedness against the State Assembly, to March 2, 2022.

Ce Triple F Global Services Limited, had dragged the Kogi State House of Assembly before the State High Court in Lokoja, praying the court to compel the State Assembly to pay N15,780, 920 contract debt to it.

The State Assembly in October 2016, was said to have contacted a private firm, Britcool Nig. Ltd. to supply 43  LG TVs, Central Stabilizers, 185ltr Thermocool Fridge, 195Ltr Thermocool Fridge and 36000 BTU Royal Floor Air Conditioner to the tone of 15.7m via Ce Triple F Global Service Limited.

The Complainant, who is equally the Chief Executive Officer of Ce Triple F Global Services Limited, Engr. Chris Edime, said the items were supplied to the Assembly, during the era of the former Speaker, Alfa Umar Imam, when the current Speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawole, was the Majority Leader and the current Majority Leader, Abdullahi Bello was Minority Leader.

Our Kogi State Correspondent reports that the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Engr. Chris Edime, during cross examination by his Counsel, Barr. Samuel Ichado Akoji, submitted evidence of the contract documents and eventually, they admitted it as evidence by the court.

The Trial Judge, Justice JJ Majebi, therefore adjourned the case to the 2nd of March 2022, for further cross examination by the Counsel to the defendant, Barrister Oluwafemi Adegboyega, who is from the State Ministry of Justice.

Speaking to Journalists shortly after the trial, Engr. Chris Edime, said the company have exhausted every means of negotiations with the State Assembly, to ensure that the debt is paid to the company, but all proved abortive, hence they had to approach the court for justice.
