Revocation of property in Abuja: Lori-Ogbebor cries out over revocation of late husband’s property


…Urges Tinubu to call Wike to order

Rights Activist, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor, has lamented the revocation of the ownership of a property belonging to her late husband, Col Paul Ogbebor, retd, in Abuja, saying President Bola Tinubu should call the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FTC, Nyesom Wike to order.

She said the estate, which is located in Life Camp area in FCT, is the property of Paulosa Nigeria Limited, a company owned by Col Ogbebor, a civil war hero and one of the first generation officers in the Nigerian Army.

Lori-Ogbebor, who said this in an interview, said the Federal Capital Development Authority, FCDA, had issued a notice of quit on November 22, 2024, and went ahead to reallocate the property on December 9.

She added that her findings at Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, indicated that the estate was reallocated to a company that has a three-time member of the House of Representatives as Director.

Lori-Ogbebor said Certificate of Ownership was issued three weeks after the notice was issued to the management of the estate.

Consequently, the elder stateswoman called on President Tinubu to call the leadership of the FCT Ministry to order, saying it is unjust to revoke the property, which was rightly acquired by her late husband, who fought for the unity of the country and whose company, Paulosa, was among the leading firms who constructed prominent infrastructure in FCT.

According to her, “my husband went to Abuja and worked there. He wasn’t a land grabber. My husband was among those whose sweat contributed in building the Abuja we have today. He gave people hope to come to Abuja. He never collected any land. My husband got his land rightfully like any other Nigerian. Paulosa is a company that brought Italians, Lebanese to work in this country. And they are there to date. They were all given land certificates. Later, they were told to revalidate, which they did. After revalidation, they were told they were now free to apply permanently for this land. My dear husband constructed the sewage system in Abuja. My dear husband died during COVID-19 outbreak. He had children. The children paid ten million naira to regularize. When they demanded receipt FCT officials said they were not ready yet. That was during Mohammed Musa. El-Rufai came, it was the same thing. At some point, they said the area was not surveyed that they needed to survey it. The children paid for the survey to the FCDA.

“Everytime they would say the file is with the Minister. When Wike came, on November 22, 2024, he sent a quit notice, the children were surprised. I couldn’t even imagine it. He followed it up with a demolition notice on the 9th. The occupants were asked to quit that they are now staying there illegally.

“I don’t want my husband’s legacy to be destroyed. He served this country well. Whatever it is they want us to pay again, they children will pay it now. It will be an justice to the memory of Col Ogbebor if the estate is destroyed and given to another person. He didn’t bring any money back home. The only legacy he has that bears his name is this estate. The sad thing here is that the property was reallocated to a company with the name of a three-time House of Representatives member, who has ties with Wike as Director. I went to CAC and I have the proof now. All I am asking is for the President to call Wike to order. This is our country. The revocation of lands in Abuja should be probbed. Why would land be grabbed from those who laboured for it? Where was he when Abuja was a forest? Mr. President whose name is being polluted should order the probe. Enough is enough. I have asked my lawyers to file a case in court on the matter. The land grabbing in Abuja won’t help this country.

The dirty drunkard of Obio Akpor is doing too much. He should know that power is transient. Today is your turn to humiliate people and laugh, tomorrow will definitely be your turn. That's life dynamics.

What hurts me most is that no compensation is being paid for all revocation and destroying of people's sweat. You just wake up one day and realized that you've been chased out of your house without any prior notice.

I could still during GEJ era, the federal government then wanted to construct a double lane from Eket down to portharcourt. Every houses that enters and properties, the owners of the houses and properties were paid heavily and they were given time to pack out. Non of those people were chased out . But Buhari the dullard and Tinubu the greatest dullard of all time that have nothing to offer came on board and start displacing people forcefully. This is height of tyranny.

Renewed hope my foot.

Hmm

The presidency should look into it. Wike is been high handed, he should be careful. FCT dynamics can mess him up. He should ask El rufai

Small Tiger (Kekere-Ekun) will not tolerate Judiciary bully, you cannot bully a Tiger, if not, you will end up in the Tiger’s stomach. Don’t end up in prison on top your late husband’s supposed property. Small Tiger is a Lagos street girl that refused to drop out of school, she is now the CJN and will not mind eating up dogs and baboons. BE WARNED

For garki, e still dey

This issue of Wike grabbing lands has been on for months now, Tinubu kept quiet, remi tinubu kept quiet, NSA kept quiet, police kept quiet, soldiers kept quiet... Wike has built houses for the judges...the only option is for people to take the laws into their hands.

Is this suppose to be a country ?

No place like home, no place like home, but ask yourself, is Nigeria a home ?

ignorant Wike will destroy Abuja and the legacy of those who fought for this country.

The Army/Military doesn't joke with its people o talkless of A hero.

wike the land grabber should back off.

.

Looking4Trouble:
Cry to Court

Wike has built houses for all the judges

Wicked wike already told you all that he is blind, deaf and dumb

Wike is on revenge mission

I really feel sad that this is going on right now in Abuja.My father worked with Col. Ogbebor at Paulosa in the 1980s.Deji Adeyanju said this same thing that Wike is grabbing land from people and giving it to his friends.I guess he is very correct.Col Ogbebor was the first cadet officer at Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).His legacy should not be rubbished in this manner by Wike.

As if the presidency don't know what's going on.

A Lagos land grabber is the President in Aso Rock, A Port Harcourt land grabber is the FCT Minister, what a wicked combo, People shouldnt be surprised about whats happening.

Wike take it easy, this is Nigeria and power is transient. Ask El Rufai, he will tell you better. Imagine quickly reallocating the land to his crony. What a country.

H

My friends in enugu state also said that what the governor there wants to do

To be stealing people land in the name of construction of two lane roads in abakpa

Nigeria is becoming some thing else

I don't even understand the system this government is operating. If you have money you will have problem with government, if you don't have money you will still have problem with government, this is the worst istration I have ever experience since I was born.

The government is over taxing the poor and no improved social amenities to show for it, what you will later hear is government official who embezzle 80 billions.

This powerful Delta woman.
I had the worst experience in life working for her
