Prince and Princess Ltd, developer of properties at a multi billion naira estate belonging to Praco Ltd has sent a passionate appeal to President Bola Tinubu to urgently intervene in the unlawful demolition of it's property located at Pot 581 E27 Cadastral Zone, Kugbo- Abuja.

The Developer disclosed that officials of the Federal Capital Development Agency, acting on the orders of the FCT Minister, Barr Nyesom Wike, had on Wednesday 27th March, 2024, invaded the project site with a detachment of over 300 security personnel including the Army, the Navy, the Police and many others, and destroyed the properties.

The said property has the registration number: FCDA/DC/BP/ASD/29163 validly approved by the FCT authorities for development.

Court processes showed that the demolition was against the subsisting judgements of courts and valid order of Interim Injunction by Justice Eleojo Enenche of the FCT High Court 44, Wuse Zone 2, issued on the 22nd of March, 2024 and served on the Minister, FCDA, the Deed Registrar of the FCDA, the Director of Urban and Regional Planning, security agencies and many others.

The Order was to restrain the defendants, who include the minister, the FCDA and the rest from demolishing or destroying the developer’s properties, which include infrastructure and house on Plot 582 Kukwaba, 542 Kukwaba, 454 Guzape, 455 Guzape, 456 Guzape, 458 Guzape, 1577 Guzape, 4577 Maitama A6 Ltd, 5044 Maitama A6, 2444 Gwarinpa, 505 Wuye, 2129 Garki 1, 4143 Jikoyi, 4145 Jikoyi, 4147, 4149, 524 Kukwaba, 527 Kukwaba and 3037 Asokoro.

The court recognized that the developer had put the properties on the afore-mentioned land after securing the defendants’ approval upon payments of the necessary fees pending the determination of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.

According to the Managing Director of the company developing the estate, Dr. Barr Chukwudubem Ezekwelu, it was worrisome that the Minister would order the FCDA to demolish the property even when the Motion on Notice fixed for hearing on 9th April 2024, is yet to be heard.

Ezekwelu also revealed that the owner of the property Praco International Limited, had earlier on the 7th of July, 2023, received the certificate for the Restoration of the Right of Occupancy for the land from the then FCT Minister, pursuant to a court order in Suit No FCT/HC/M/2318/2022.

In spite of all these certifications, Ezekwelu revealed that the FCDA officials invaded the property early Wednesday 27th March around 6am and continued demolishing the properties till afternoon when they suddenly pulled out.

Regretting the FCDA’s flagrant flouting of the court’s orders, the legal practitioner noted that there was no prior notice of demolition, nor were there any letters, court order or warning whatsoever from the FCDA before they embarked on the unlawful act.

“These demolitions were done against the valid order of the FCT High Court, which was duly served on the development control, the FCDA and the Office of the FCT Minister.

“This is the highest level of impunity, high handedness , Executive rascality ,disregard for the rule of law, judiciary & constitution of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria,” he fumed.

Barr Ezekwelu expressed worry that the FCDA could destory such huge investment worth over N10billion, and aplealed to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu to immediately intervene to stop the lawlessness and impunity and save the massive investment of patriotic nigerians, as well as protect the integrity of the judiciary.

“Mr President needs to intervene urgently in this matter to restore the confidence of Nigerians and even expatriates in investing in the country.

“It is worrisome that the Minister will by this act of high-handedness, be making a mess of Mr President’s call to well-meaning Nigerians to invest in the country.

“It also beckon on all well-meaning Nigerians, the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and the National Judicial Council, NJC, to call Barr Nyesom Wike and other co-perpetrators of this illegality to order to avoid driving away both local foreign investors from the nigerian economy” Ezekwelu posited.

The exparte motion was drawn from a suit filed by Engr. Success Obioma, Praco International Ltd, Psalm 127 Ltd, and Peace Be Still Ltd, (Claimants) against the FCT Administration.

Defendants in suit are the FCT Minister, Federal Capital Development Authority, The Deed Registrar FCDA, Director Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Chairman Abuja Metropolitan Management Council and the Director of Land Administration FCT.

This country na wa

Personally, Ibos and cutting corners are like 5 and 6.
In Lagos that I know pretty much, they will encroach into water ways, setbacks and knowingly bypass approval processes by flying coordinates to deceive physical planning officials during documentation review and when they are caught much later, they will start saying that they are destroying their properties because they are ibos.

They so much believe that they can getaway with anything. They will to the extent of having 2 different sets of drawings to deceive physical planning personnel.

Because of your nonsense, Lagos state government have stopped the issuance of governor's consent since last year to anyone and in particular to any iboman. You guys think you can get away with anything, because you repatriated part of your drugs peddling proceed into real estate, as you famously call it, washing black money into white money.

You make so much noise for nothing and disregard any constituted authority because you so much believe you can bribe everyone.

So he has stopped crying that he Wicked Wike are victimizing ibos and instead started begging Tinubu.

You think by investing 10 billion naira drug money into real estate, the government should be afraid of you ? Or should be forced to accept your illegalities?

You need to be in real estate business to understand how these people operate. They so much believe that they can gaslight everyone into their control. In Lagos, they buy land that is meant for just 2 units, and will knowingly put 4 units on it, they will continue building even when stop work order is pasted on the site, they will continue building on Saturdays and Sundays because they know that government officials are on holiday.

When they are caught, they will start shouting..."Yoruba people are envious of us", like for real?

This is the same thing they have been doing in lagos for years, just that now the commissioner of environment in lagos, Wahab is giving them back to back. After disobeying all physical planning laws, they will eventually sell the houses to naive customers and transfer illegalities to unsuspecting buyers.

Wike called him a land grabber and ethnic jingoist on this interview with channels. The man Ukachuwku texted Wike, that Wike told his Ikwerre brothers that he will deal with Ibos. Imagine the audacity.

Is that there are no yoruba properties these people can see to demolish ?

What always Igbo properties ? Na wao

BitterTruth01:

Wike said he has revoked several Hausa and Yoruba peoples land. Only the ibos are crying victimization.

Nicholas Ukachukwu is bigger than Wike. He had been in Estate business before Wike came to lime light. Wike cannot collect that property from him no matter how hard Wike tries. Mark my word! Wike is just a temporary set back for the man.

I just finished watching the videos. The landgrabbers would get allocated lands at a very cheap price based on a contract that they want to build multi-residential houses to ease cost of living in Abuja. They will hold the land (speculation). And when the value of the land increases after a while, they divide it up and start selling to people to build big single houses on them.

When the government jumps in, they connive with corrupt government workers. The government workers hire external lawyers that also collect bribe from people like ukachukwu to buy judgements and keep the FCT government away from cancelling the land allocation due to violation of contract. Wike is now saying no to that corruption.

Wike said they said he is fighting ibos but he was the one that nominated an Ibo man from Anambra to become the first chairman of the civil service commission.

Land has now reverted back to the FCT.

I just finished watching that video, exactly what I was saying here is exactly what wike said, they so much believe that they are smarter than everyone and can get away with all sorts of rubbish. In Lagos, they have been check-mated. They initially ran to the media with their usual rubbish, "They are demolishing ibo properties " and when they realised that no one is buying their rubbish, they resorted to pleading.

I know a lot of them the will disregard stop order and continue building on Saturdays and Sundays and they will hurriedly sell that property to unsuspecting buyers.

Some of them will buy 2 plots and sand fill into the water ways to get additional 2 more plots and will build on that land without approvals or manipulate the approvals on the 2 plots to cover for the other 2 plots they fraudulently acquired.

Yes. Wike said they quickly sell those lands to ignorant buyers too.

I have been in real estate for more 15 years and I know them like the back of my hand. Let me tell you something, if Lagos for example really want to punish ibos as they will want to make everyone to believe, there are more than 10 thousand units of houses that I can personally point to the government that are built by ibos, disregarding the LABSCA laws with multiple contraventions. Just that Sanwo-olu na gently man, else the house that will be going down on daily basis ehn?

opamoses1:

What about the one at Ibeju Lekki worth over 1 billion . That a Baale fraudulently sold to an Igbo union. And then FHA came to repossess. Why is the Baale not in EFCC custody.

I am only saying what Wike mentioned in the video nah. Wetin concern me with FHA, Lekki and Baale in custody. Lol.

Thank God Wike is not a Yoruba or Hausa. Wike is Ikwerre, get the man still dey cry victimization. When Soludo and Otti were busy demolishing properties in their states, there was no cry of victimization

Everyone can feel the heat of hate, envy and jealousy in their minds. May God have mercy on all of your minds.
