A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), sitting in Bwari, has stopped Galactic Aviation Limited and two others from proceeding with the sale of an Embraer EMB-145LR aircraft, following allegations of outstanding payments.
The interim order, issued by Justice M. A. Madugu on Friday, December 5, 2025, came after the court considered an ex parte motion by Reekers Engineering and Construction Limited, the claimant in the suit.
The claimant’s counsel, Mr. Azeez Hassan, SAN, had moved the application in the matter marked FCT/HC/BW/CV/391/2025.
The suit lists Galactic Aviation Limited, Mr. Abdullahi Ahmed, NG Eagle Airline Limited, and the Minister for Aviation and Aerospace Development as first to fourth respondents.
In his ruling, Justice Madugu granted the application and restrained the first to third defendants—Galactic Aviation Limited, Mr. Abdullahi Ahmed, and NG Eagle Airline Limited—from putting up for sale or selling the aircraft with Manufacturer Serial Number 14500842 and engine serial numbers ESN 25606 and ESN 25831.
The court noted that the aircraft had allegedly not been fully paid for by the first and second defendants.
Justice Madugu also ordered the defendants to show cause within seven days why the key prayers in the claimant’s ex parte motion should not be granted.
The matter was adjourned to December 16, 2026, for hearing.
