There was tension at the Satellite Town area of Lagos State as Chinese nationals prevented the police operatives from sealing their company following a court order over alleged production of fake AKT light bulbs.
A businessman had dragged the company located at 194, Marwa Close Ijegun Water Site, Satellite Town, Lagos, before Justice Taiwo Taiwo of a Federal High Court, Abuja, accusing it of producing and importing fake AKT light bulb in Nigeria, and sought an order of the court to seal up the company as well as evacuates the fake products.

The court had granted the request and ordered the Inspector General of Police to seal the company and evacuate the products pending the conclusion of the investigation.
On Wednesday, April 6, policemen from Abuja and court sheriffs stormed the premises to enforce the court order and ordered all the workers out of the premises.
However, several days after law enforcement agents stormed the warehouse, the Chinese nationals refused to allow them to enforce the court order by preventing evacuation of the substandard products.

All efforts by the police have so far proved abortive as the Chinese allegedly mobilised some ‘area boys’ and blocked the entrance to the company so as to prevent the police from carrying out the court order.
The scenario is currently causing unrest in the area as the police insists the court order must be carried out to the fullest.
