The ex parte application was moved by counsel to the plaintiff, Chisom Ibemesi, after an affidavit detailed unsuccessful attempts by the court bailiff to personally serve the defendant with the originating court processes.
In her ruling, Justice Onyefulu granted leave for the writ of summons and all accompanying or subsequent court processes to be served by pasting them at Okonkwo’s last known residential address at NPR 48 Ofuluonu, Nsukka, Enugu State, near Ijeoma Fishing Company, or by delivering the documents to any adult found at the address.
The court also directed that photographic evidence of the substituted service be taken and filed before the court as proof of compliance..See the video & full news here.
