Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, Chairman of Platform Petroleum, through his publicist and spokesman one Sotonye Ijuye-Dagogo who sneakily operates on Facebook with the fake name Ijuye Telescopic put out another false statement on the 20th of November 2019 claiming that Dr. Mrs. Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs lost, “her Prohibition Lawsuit at the Ghana Supreme Court alleging bias against a High Court Judge.” On account of the varied public interest and inquiries we have received on the issue from far and wide, it is important to set the records straight.

Nothing is further from the truth; victory had already been achieved. The said Judge having openly shown bias by categorically stating that, “She (Dr. Mrs. Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs) doesn’t seem to be interested in burying her husband,” was unable to give judgment on whether or not Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs should have custody of the body to carry out another autopsy on his father on September 6, 2019 even when the first autopsy was properly done as endorsed by his own representative pathologists.

Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs through her lawyers had approached Ghana’s Supreme Court to seek a declaration that on the basis of the disparaging comment made against her by the High Court Judge presiding over her case, which reasonably indicated bias, she (the judge) was incompetent to continue to preside over the case.

The said Judge was a vacation Judge at the time. Given that by the time the Supreme Court heard the matter, the case would no longer be presided over by a vacation Judge, but a substantive one, the application could not but be withdrawn. Incidentally, this is not the first time Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs is employing this strategy of approaching vacation Judges to address matters that have no business in vacation Courts. From Nigeria to Ghana he has used this same strategy, without success.


Chief Dumo’s statement also states that, “Her (Mrs. O.B. Lulu-Briggs’) lawyers were lambasted by the justices of the Ghana Supreme Court for bringing a very frivolous application and wasting the time of the court and the family.”

There was no lampooning of any sort by the respected/respectable Justices of the Supreme Court of Ghana, not even by the closest shade of a whimper. The earlier application to the Supreme Court was simply withdrawn. Indeed, if the Supreme Court was as vexed as falsely claimed by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, why did it not award costs against Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs if her application was truly frivolous?

There was also no loss of any prohibition lawsuit by Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs as dishonestly claimed by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, whose lawyers were not even in court on the said day. Otherwise, can he state the particular benefit it has brought to him? If she truly lost such a lawsuit as he claimed, what did he or anyone for that matter achieve or gain by her purported loss? Nothing. How then does his phantom ‘gain’ help his insincere and misleading claim of being desirous of burying his father? Huh?

Dr. Mrs. Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs did not lose any lawsuit and by God’s grace will continue to triumph on the side of truth. In this particular case, God granted her desire to have a Substantive Judge to fully hear the matter.

However, the entire O.B. Lulu-Briggs family continues to lose by not laying the mortal remains of its beloved patriarch High Chief Dr. O.B. Lulu-Briggs to rest because of Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs intransigence. Nothing is stopping him from getting on with the business of burying his father.

We appreciate the concern and sincerely thank all those who have reached out to us for their continued support and prayers as we work towards according her beloved husband, High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs, a dignified interment.
