Scangroup locked in Ogilvy’s Nigeria shareholder row

Scangroup has been sued by a Nigerian investor over the termination of an agency partnership that is alleged to be linked to the listed firm’s new operations in Lagos.

Nigeria’s Prima Garnet Communications has enjoined Scanad Nigeria, a subsidiary of Scangroup, in a legal battle with Ogilvy Africa, which it accuses of having an interest in the Kenya-based firm and a breach of their exclusive dealership.
