Justice Tunde Sunmonu of the Lagos State High Court, sitting in Tapa, has granted an interim injunction restraining popular real estate developer, Kennedy Okonkwo and two others from further publishing or republishing alleged defamatory statements targeting two businessmen, Ikenna Jideofor and Adewale Oladapo.

Justice Sunmonu ordered that the interim injunction remain in effect for 14 days from the date of the order, pending compliance with pre-action protocols, the filing of the substantive suit, and the hearing and determination of any motion for an interlocutory injunction.

The court has barred Okonkwo, his company Capital Gardens Limited, and media personality Azuka Francisca Ogujiuba from disseminating additional versions of two publications dated May 23 and May 28, 2025, titled: “Beware of Buying Hampton Estate from Ikenna Jideofor & Adewale Oladapo”.

The judge granted the orders after deciding that there was significant urgency in the matter and that irreparable harm could occur if the reliefs sought were not given.

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