Quest Oil & Engineering Services Limited has issued a formal warning to the public against engaging in any transactions involving specific properties currently under litigation.
The company noted that the assets are the subject of an ongoing legal battle that has now reached the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
In a public notice released on March 10, 2026, the company revealed that the Federal High Court in Abuja had, on March 6, granted leave to a group of applicants, including Enenmoh Ikechukwu George, Enenmoh Grace Ndidi, and others, to execute a consent judgment originally delivered in December 2020.
While the judgment was previously affirmed by the Court of Appeal (Case No. CA/ABJ/CV/965/2023), Quest Oil emphasized that the matter is far from settled.
The case is currently being challenged at the apex court under Appeal No. SC/CV/330/2025.
Following the recent High Court ruling, Quest Oil’s legal team filed a Notice of Appeal and a Motion for Stay of Execution.
The company explained that under Nigerian law, the filing of a stay of execution necessitates a pause on all enforcement actions to preserve the status quo until the judicial process is exhausted.
“Anyone who proceeds with any transaction involving the disputed properties while the appeal is still pending does so at their own risk,” the notice read.
The company further stated that it would not be held liable for any financial losses incurred by individuals who ignore this warning.
Citing established legal precedents such as Vaswani Trading Company v. Savalakh & Co (1972), the firm argued that parties must refrain from actions that could render the eventual Supreme Court decision nugatory.
Quest Oil has advised prospective buyers or investors to exercise extreme caution and contact the company’s management for clarification before taking any steps related to the affected properties.
