Having obtained the above default judgments, the applicants then set in motion execution proceedings against the respondent. The applicants however were unable to execute the judgment against the respondent as the messenger of court’s return showed that T Nikanor could not be traced. The first applicant then proceeded to apply in the Magistrate’s Court to attach claims due to the respondent from various Ministries of Government. These proceedings were opposed by the respondent. As a result, sequestration proceedings were launched in this court.
