A Federal High Court in Lagos Tuesday cleared the way for Access Bank Plc to acquire Interconti-nental Bank Plc.

It dismissed the suit filed by the former CEO of Interconti-nental Bank, Mr. Erastus Akingbola, challenging the plans by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to sell the bank to Access Bank.

Akingbola and a former executive director of Intercontinental Bank, Mr. Bayo Dada, had filed the suit to challenge the propriety of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for merger signed by Intercontinen-tal Bank and Access Bank without recourse to them as shareholders and former directors of the bank.

But ruling on the preliminary objections filed by the CBN, Justice Okechukwu Okeke held that the suit was an abuse of court process since there was an action already filed by other interested parties on the subject matter.

He added that the petitioners failed to issue a pre-action notice to the defendants before instituting the matter in court, which was a condition precedent for the suit to be justified.
