Justice Taiwo Olatokun of an Ikeja High Court has ordered substituted service on President of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria, Idorenyen Enang in a N20 million libel suit filed against him by Marketing Edge Publications Limited.

Justice Olatokun granted the request of the claimant following an application moved by his counsel, Felix Akinisola.

The court agreed with the submission of Akinisola that the institute, which is the 1st defendant, would be an appropriate place of service on Enang, who is its President. Akinisola told the court that he filed an ex-parte application asking for an order of the court for substituted service on the 2nd defendant by pasting on the wall of the office and front desk officer in his office.

Akinisola told the court that the application is supported by a 10-paragraph affidavit stressing that in paragraph 6 of the affidavit, the deponent deposed to where the 2nd defendant would be served by substituted means.
