IHS Holding Ltd.’s second-largest shareholder sued the African mobile tower operator, escalating a standoff with management over how the firm is run.

Wendel SE, via its subsidiary Oranje-Nassau Développement SCA FIAR, is seeking to force the tower company to hold a vote on several governance proposals after the board didn’t put them forward at its June shareholders meeting, according to a summons from the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands issued on June 30.
