A Federal High Court sitting in Benin and presided over by Justice B. O. Quadri has adjourned until June 29, 2026, for a report of settlement in a cyberstalking case instituted against Barr. Ede Asenoguan, a formerchairmann of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Benin Branch.
The suit with No. FHC/C/117/2025 was adjourned following an oral application made by E. O. Afolabi, counsel to the nominal complainant, Omoruyi Oloton, Chief Executive Officer of Uyi Technical Ltd. The application was supported by Douglas Ogbankua Esq. and E. E. Oisamoje Esq.
When the case came up at the weekend, Afolabi informed the court that the defendant, Barr. Asenoguan had approached his client, Uyi Oloton, for an out-of-court settlement.
According to Afolabi, consequent upon the move for settlement, Oloton requested that the defendant formally put the proposal for an amicable resolution in writing.
He further assured the court that he would facilitate a meeting between Asenoguan and Oloton towards a final resolution of the matter and report to the court at the next adjourned date.
The prosecutor, P. Odion, and Jude Imagbeghian, counsel to the defendant, did not oppose the application for adjournment.
At the last adjourned date, Afolabi had intimated the court that parties in the suit were already exploring the possibility of an out-of-court settlement.
