A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Bwari has granted an interim injunction preventing Galactic Aviation Limited and two other parties from selling an Embraer EMB-145LR aircraft with registration number 5N-BZM.
Justice M. A. Madugu issued the order on Friday, December 5, 2025, after reviewing an ex parte motion brought by the claimant, Reekers Engineering and Construction Limited.
The motion, filed and presented by the claimant’s counsel, Mr. Azeez Taiwo Hassan (SAN), was submitted in case number FCT/HC/BW/CV/391/2025.
Reekers Engineering and Construction Limited filed the suit against Galactic Aviation Limited, Mr. Abdullahi Ahmed, NG Eagle Airline Limited, and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, listed respectively as the first to fourth respondents.
However, in his ruling on the application, Justice Madugu granted the application and restrained the 1st to 3rd defendants—Galactic Aviation Limited, Mr Abdullahi Ahmed, and NG Eagle Airline Limited—from putting up for sale or selling the aircraft with Manufacturer Serial Number 14500842 and engine serial numbers ESN 25606 and ESN 25831.
The court noted that the aircraft had allegedly not been fully paid for by the 1st and 2nd defendants.
Justice Madugu also ordered the defendants to show cause within seven days why key prayers in the claimant’s motion ex parte should not be granted.
The court subsequently adjourned to hearing to December 16, 2026.
