The order which was issued by Justice Edem Ita Koofreh also granted Elder Edet Umana, the factional Chairman of IPMAN in the state and two others for themselves and on behalf of IPMAN leave to serve the writ of summons and originating process on the National Chairman of PTD, Otumba Oladini Salimon, the Zonal Chairman, Chief Peter Modebelu, factional Chairman of IPMAN in the state, Prince Robert Obi and seven others .
Umana and others had dragged the National Chairman of PTD, the Zonal Chairman of PTD, factional chairman of IPMAN in the state, Prince Obi and seven others to court in-suite No HC/451/2019 challenging why they are still collecting levies on behalf of IPMAN and why Obi was still parading himself as Chairman of IPMAN when the Supreme Court had since December 14, 2018 declared Elder Chinedu Okoronkwo as the National President of IPMAN and by extension all the State executives like that of Umana...
But the Chairman of the Eastern Zonal office of IPMAN, Chief Larry Nworuh, the Zonal Legal Adviser, Obasi Nnanna Esq and some other officers of the zone had declared that IPMAN has one leadership in the country led by Elder Okoronkwo and the members in Cross River State know that as the crisis of leadership in IPMAN was at the national level but was effectively laid to rest by the judgment of the Supreme Court that gave legitimacy to Elder Okoronkwo led Exco.
Reacting to the injunction placed on them by Justice Koofreh, Obi and his group have petitioned the Acting Chief Judge of the state, Justice Akon Ikpeme, asking for the matter to be transferred from Justice Koofreh’s court to another as they are not sure of justice and at the same time accusing him of bias.
