Rite Foods’ N1.6 billion suit against Mamuda returned to chief judge for reassignment
The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, has transferred the N1.60 billion suit filed by Rite Foods Ltd, the manufacturer of Fearless Energy Drinks, against Mamuda Beverages Nig. Ltd, to the chief judge for reassignment.
This was disclosed on Wednesday when the matter, which was before Justice Emeka Nwite, was called for a hearing.
The suit, which was number 19 on the cause list, could not go on.
When Justice Nwite called the registrar’s attention to the case after it had not been called, she informed the judge that since the matter had been brought during the Easter vacation, it had been transferred back to the chief judge for reassignment.
Rite Foods, in a fresh suit filed by its team of lawyers led by Oyetola Oshobi and Boonyameen Lawal, had instituted the case over allegations bordering on trademark infringement.
Rite Foods also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining Mamuda from further producing Pop Power Energy Drinks with a similar resemblance to its products.
