Sepat Energy said Thursday that the Nigerian government, through the Nigerian Immigration Service, has called off the legal action launched against the oil driller, some of its directors and officers.
“The Notice of Withdrawal/Discontinuance of the action dated 6 April 2023, was issued by the Director Legal Services of the Nigeria Immigration Service and stated in part that “the Claimant hereby discontinues all the proceedings in this charge against the above-named Defendants,” said Seplat Energy in a statement on Thursday seen by PREMIUM TIMES.
The action puts to rest a knotty labour dispute between Seplat Energy and a couple of its staff, which was blown out of proportion to involve the immigration service and spawned at least two different lawsuits.
