Midwestern Oil has accused Coscharis Motors of selling to it a broken-down piece of ironmongery instead of a mint-new Ford Edge SE 2015 Model with full options. As a result, it has dragged Coscharis Motors before a Lagos high court, claiming the sum of N41.500 million as damages. Also listed as a defendant in the case is Emtem International Concept Nigeria Limited.
According to Onyebuchi Aniakor, counsel to Midwestern Oil, the oil company was directed to Emtem International Concept Nigeria Limited by Coscharis Motors, through its Group Sales Manager, one Yinka Oladipo for purchase of a 2015 Model Ford Edge SE vehicle.
Upon the representations of Coscharis Motors and the terms of the Pro-forma Invoice dated February 26, 2015 issued by Emtem International Concept Nigeria Limited, the claimant allegedly proceeded to pay for the said vehicle in the sum of N7.3 million, the receipt of which was acknowledged by to Emtem International Concept Nigeria Limited with the date March 4, 2015.
However, according to Midwestern Oil, the vehicle received was not a mint-new Ford Edge SE 2015 Model with full options but rather a broken-down piece of ironmongery.
