The plaintiff also claimed that MyaCynth holds 30 per cent of the shares of EMTS BV; that EMTS BV holds 99 . 9 per cent of the shares of EMTS and that EMTS ’ syndicated loan from the second to fourth defendants was granted without the requisite statutory approval of the CBN .
It further claimed that its investments in EMTS will be lost if the 15 th to 17 th defendants were allowed to effect the sale of EMTS .
