Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, said, he is “profoundly disheartened” as “individual who unlawfully entered the premises of Next Foods Limited in Ikeja GRA has continued to act with brazen impunity”.
This is coming after Obi’s younger brother’s Company, Next Foods Limited, was invaded and demolished in Ikeja, Lagos.
Obi said, despite the fact that the case is before the Court, the individual has continued to “show utter disregard” for authority of the Court.
Obi said via X: “It is profoundly disheartening that, notwithstanding the pendency of several applications before the court—including duly filed and served committal proceedings—the individual who unlawfully entered the premises of Next Foods Limited in Ikeja GRA has continued to act with brazen impunity, showing utter disregard for both the authority of the court and the sanctity of public order.
“It is a well-established principle of law, and indeed of civil society, that once parties have submitted their grievances to the judiciary, they are duty-bound to maintain the status quo and allow the court to determine the issues before it.
“Any deviation from this principle not only undermines the justice system but also sets a dangerous precedent for lawlessness.
“My younger brother, who serves as the Chairman of Next Limited, and I have spared no effort in trying to identify and reach out to the woman who lays claim to the property in question, with the sincere intention of exploring a peaceful and amicable resolution.
“Regrettably, all such efforts have yielded no fruitful outcome, as she remains evasive and inaccessible.”
