Judge

Oyuko Anthony Ojok, J

The court found that the applicants had demonstrated a prima facie case with a probability of success, as the main application raised serious issues that were neither frivolous nor vexatious. The applicants showed that there was an imminent risk of being deprived of their interests in the suit land before the main application could be determined, and that such deprivation would result in irreparable loss not adequately compensable by damages, particularly given the involvement of third-party interests.
