Following the “unlawful” demolition of his company, Next Foods Limited, property in Ikeja, Peter Obi’s younger brother, Ndibe Obi, has taken the matter to Court.
The property of Ndibe Obi was demolished “after a trespasser misled the court into granting an unjust possession order”, the former Governor of Anambra State disclosed.
Information reaching the 2023 Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, has revealed that, the same trespasser is “erecting a fence within the premises in an apparent attempt to divide the land into two”.
Obi said, the “secrecy and desperation” that surrounds this “act” speaks so much, adding, it looks like a “calculated move” to expand the ongoing legal proceedings.
Via his official X account, Obi said: “Still on the Demolished Ikeja Property
“The legal counsel to Next Foods Limited, acting on the instruction of the company’s CEO, my younger brother, Ndibe Obi, has taken the matter to court over the Ikeja property that was unlawfully demolished after a trespasser misled the court into granting an unjust possession order.
“I have now been informed that the same trespasser, under the cover of night, is erecting a fence within the premises in an apparent attempt to divide the land into two.
“The secrecy and desperation surrounding this act speak volumes. It reeks of impunity and appears to be a calculated move to further complicate the ongoing legal proceedings.
“Whatever the motive, this is a blatant act of trespass and a direct assault on the rule of law. Fortunately, the matter is now before the court.
“We trust that justice will not only be done, but be seen to be done swiftly, decisively, and in full accordance with the law.”
In its response to the outcry following the “invasion and demolition” of his brother’s company property, the Lagos State Government said, the public should “disregard” Obi’s claims, adding, it is not involved in the demolition.
