Eniyamire is seeking exemplary damages of N500 million and requesting that the court recognizes her entitlement to 11.11 percent of all her late father’s properties, including estates, as stipulated in his will. The lawsuit contends that the defendants deviated from the specified sharing formula and allocated only 4.16 percent to Eniyamire instead.

With 38 reliefs, Eniyamire is asking the court to reverse the defendants’ decision, relieve them of their duties as executors of her father’s will, and restore her rightful share of her father’s assets.

During the court proceedings, Eniyamire’s lawyer asserted that the case was ready for hearing, while the defendant’s counsel stated that they had filed a preliminary objection challenging the competence of the suit.

The judge consolidated the preliminary objection and the lawsuit for a joint hearing and scheduled the case for June 4, 2024, to proceed with the hearing.
