The Federal High Court, Abuja, has fixed a judgment date to determine who the real operating officer in charge of Vedic Lifecare Nigeria Limited, a medical facility in Lagos, is between Dr. Benedict Okpala and an Indian national, Narayanan Chandra Praskash.
The court scheduled May 21, 2025, for judgment after lawyers for both parties orally adopted their final written addresses regarding the company’s incorporation, registration, and associated multimillion naira share allotment on Monday.
In court documents exclusively reviewed by Nairametrics, Okpala and Praskash are battling over the structure of the allotted shares in the company, which is worth millions, and who should have significant control over the medical facility and its branches, based on expertise, investment, and other factors.
