Counsel to claimants, Mr Uche Muoneke at the resumed hearing in suit, had informed the court that PENGASSAN deliberately evaded service of a court order restraining it from holding its delegates conference, by employing the services of fierce looking dogs and the police to ward off the court bailiff and claimant from its premises.
Claimants are Mr John Nwanosike and Jonathan Omare, who dragged PENGASSAN to court over alleged breach of their rights.
Defendants in the suit are PENGASSAN, its Chevron branch, Mr Esanubi Frank and Mr Ayanate Kio.
