Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, restrained the Kogi State government from closing down Dangote Cement Plc in the Obajana area of the state.
The court also stopped the state government from disrupting or suspending the activities of Dangote Coal Mines Ltd and Dangote
Industries Ltd in Okaba, Ankpa Local Government Area and in Olamaboro Local Government Area respectively.
Justice Binta Nyako gave the interim order following two separate ex-parte motions moved by counsel for the companies, Regina Okotie-Eboh.
The Kogi State government and Dangote group had recently locked horns over the ownership of the Obajana cement factory.
The state government had, on October 13, given the cement factory at Obajana 48 hours to close down in honour of the Kogi State House of Assembly which ordered the company to be sealed off until the conglomerate furnishes it with the requisite documents demanded by the legislature.
