LAGOS—A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, yesterday, insisted on hearing the 11 years old suit brought by X.M Federal, an International Arms Company, in which the company had sued Shell Petroleum Development Company, over the termination of its contract to supply arms to the oil company. The court said it will hear the case today.
Counsel to Shell, had at the resumed hearing in the matter, drawn the attention of the court to an application, in which they had sought for extension of time to amend their statement of defence. Counsel to the plaintiffs, however, argued that the application was meant to delay the case. In response, counsel to Shell said that an application for extension of time to amend can not be said to be a delay tactics.
Presiding judge in the matter, Justice Abdulahi Mustapha, however granted the application to amend, insisting that the court will hear the case today.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
