27 February 2014

The legal tussle between entertainment company, Chocolate City, and artiste, Olawale "Brymo" Ashimi, continued on Wednesday at the Federal High Court in Lagos, before Justice Buba. However, it was adjourned till March 4 following an exchange of derogatory words between Brymo's lawyer, Nike Olagbede, and Chocolate City's counsel, T.O Lawal - who is replacing C.O. Madubuko.

Defending the adjournment, Justice Buba said, "I will adjourn this case because the counsels have failed to portray themselves according to the stipulations of the court and acted with complete disregard to the court's regulations."
