A firm, Nextdora Nigeria Limited, has urged an Abuja High Court to restrain Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and others from selling its landed property.
Firms sues Wike, demands N500 million in damages
The company has filed a suit requesting an order to prevent the sale of its property in Guzape, Abuja, by the FCT minister and other individuals.
Nextdora Nigeria Ltd has requested the court to award N500 million in damages against the defendants for trespassing on its land.
The company is seeking multiple legal declarations to affirm its exclusive rights to the 2.46-hectare plot of land,
“a declaration that the claimant is entitled to the lawful use, occupation and quiet enjoyment of the property.
“A declaration that the entry of the 1st and 2nd defendants (Nnamdi and Hajiya Bilikisu) into the claimant’s property amounts to trespass and therefore wrongful, illegal and unlawful,” among others.
The matter is yet to be assigned to a judge as at the time of filing the report.
Wike under fire over FCT demolitions
Earlier, Legit former national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, condemned President Tinubu’s silence over the mass demolitions of houses in the FCT by Wike.
Frank described the demolitions as “illegal” and “oppressive,” urging the President to act swiftly to prevent further suffering for residents in the territory.
