Court order

By Chibuike Nwabuko

ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the reopening of its National Secretariat in Abuja following compliance with court directives by the Nigeria Police Force.
In an official statement released on Saturday and signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the PDP confirmed that its headquarters at Wadata Plaza, along with Legacy House in Maitama, had been unsealed and formally handed over to the party’s leadership.
The properties were returned to the custody of the National Chairman, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed Takushara, and the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyawu, in what the party described as full compliance with duly issued court orders.
The PDP commended the police for what it called professionalism and respect for the rule of law, noting that the development underscores adherence to constitutional processes and due diligence.
At the same time, the party issued a stern warning against any future disruptions at its secretariat. It cautioned individuals and groups against actions that could threaten peace or obstruct activities, stressing that security agencies have been placed on alert to deal decisively with violators.
Describing the reopening as a turning point, the PDP assured members that its recent internal challenges had been effectively resolved. The party called on aggrieved stakeholders to set aside their differences and work collectively toward unity and progress.
The statement also acknowledged the support of key party figures, including Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, whose backing was described as instrumental during the crisis.
Reaffirming its commitment to cohesion and its broader political vision, the PDP declared that it is now moving forward “stronger, united, and more committed” to its goals.

Precise Post recalls that the Nigeria Police Force sealed the Wadata Plaza headquarters on November 19, 2025 after clashes between rival factions of the party.
The conflict involved two competing leadership camps, each claiming control of the party’s National Working Committee.
Tensions escalated when both groups attempted to take over the secretariat at the same time, leading to a physical confrontation that required police intervention.

The Abia State House of Assembly has announced plans to embark on a peaceful march to Abuja to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The decision followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Deputy Speaker Austin Mmeregini during plenary on Tuesday. Lawmakers expressed growing concern about Kanu’s health and the need for the Federal Government to comply with existing court orders granting him bail.

In solidarity with Governor Alex Otti and other South-East leaders, the Assembly urged President Bola Tinubu to consider Kanu’s release on medical and humanitarian grounds. Lawmakers also appealed to National Assembly members from the South-East and to Ohanaeze Ndigbo to intensify advocacy for his freedom.

Mmeregini, representing Umuahia East Constituency, emphasized that Kanu’s continued detention undermines peace-building efforts across the region. He warned that failure to release Kanu could further heighten tension and insecurity in the South-East.

The member representing Ikwuano Constituency, Isiehi Boniface, proposed that the Abia Assembly visit the National Assembly in Abuja to meet with the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, followed by a joint press briefing to push for federal intervention. Similarly, Kalu Nwoke from Ohafia South highlighted that prolonged unrest in his constituency was tied to Kanu’s detention.

Speaker Emmanuel Emeruwa condemned the Federal Government’s disregard for the court order granting Kanu bail, stating that “Nigeria appears to be operating two systems of justice.” He urged the President to “show mercy” and allow Kanu to access medical care, stressing that “it would be of no use for him to die in detention.”

The planned march, according to Assembly members, aims to send a strong yet peaceful message to the Federal Government and to reaffirm the region’s commitment to justice, peace, and the rule of law. The lawmakers believe that releasing Kanu could help reduce agitation, foster dialogue, and promote stability across the South-East.

Meanwhile, the Assembly also deliberated on reports of property destruction belonging to Igbo indigenes in Lagos. Nnamdi Ibekwe, representing Bende North, called for urgent intervention from the Presidency and the National Assembly to ensure protection of citizens’ rights and properties across the federation.

The Abia Assembly’s planned peaceful march is expected to draw attention to both the humanitarian and national security implications of Kanu’s prolonged detention, with hopes of prompting renewed dialogue between the Federal Government and South-East stakeholders.

Nigerian vibrant Lawyer, Alexander Oketa, has petitioned the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over land grabbing activities by the officials of the Commission.

The piece of land located at plot 680-689, Cadastral Zone Bo6, Mabushi, Abuja, has been a subject of tussle between Jona Brothers Construction Limited and Chief Michael Adeojo (Owner of Elizade Motors), for over six years.

Despite many court judgements, orders and rulings in favour of Jona Brothers Construction Limited and its partner, Uche Vincent, declaring them as authentic owners of the piece of land; with the Police investigation report also confirming same; the EFCC, in a twist of event, was said to have meddled into the matter, uninvitedly, declaring the Chairman of Elizade Motors as the rightful owner of the said piece of land.

In a 5-page strong worded petition signed by Barrister Oketa and submitted and acknowledged at the Executive Chairman’s office, EFCC headquarters on Friday, 7th March 2025; some EFCC officials led by Mr. Olayinka Macaulay, the Team Leader of the agency in Area 11, Abuja, allegedly stormed the said property on Thursday, 6th March, harassing the workers on site, sealed off the premises and threatened to arrest anyone seen close to the premises.

“Please recall our earlier letter to the Commission dated 22nd April, 2024, informing you of the judgement of His Lordship, Hon. Justice Ibrahim Mohammed in JONA BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION LTD & 3 ORS V. EFCC & 3 ORS, SUIT NO. FCT/HC/CV/42/2023, which perpetually restrained the Commission and any entity acting on its behalf from arresting, dispossessing or seizing the above mentioned property from our clients, or engaging in any act inimical to our clients’ ownership, use and occupation of the said property, unless the judgement of Justice S.U Bature is set aside by an appellate court.

“It has come to the knowledge of our clients that some recalcitrant officers of the Commission (EFCC) led by one Mr. Olayinka Macaulay of the Property & Fraud Unit, Area 11, Abuja, on the 6th day of March, 2025, unlawfully stormed the said property; stopped ongoing approved construction on site; padlocked the gate; chased away our Clients and workers from the property; marked the property with the inscription ‘EFCC KEEP OFF’; and threatened to arrest our Clients and the workers if they dare return to the property; on the basis that they (Mr. Olayinka Macaulay and his men, Police Officers) are enforcing an Interim Forfeiture Order granted to the Commission (EFCC) by Hon. Justice Nwite of the Federal High Court.

“Our Client’s building materials and equipment worth Billions of Naira have been exposed to theft, demurrage and expiration by the unlawful activities of Olayinka Macaulay, at the behest and pleasure of our Client’s defeated opponent, Chief Michael Adeojo, whom the prosecutors, SYLVANUS TAHIR, SAN; ELIZABETH ALABI, ESQ; AND M.I BUBA, ESQ, declared as the true owner against the judgements of the FCT High Courts.

“For your education Sir, Court Orders are only enforceable by the Sheriff of the Federal High Court, and not by the personal whims and caprices of the Commission, particularly when the Commission is a party to the ongoing forfeiture proceedings. Interestingly, our Clients contacted the Registry of the Federal High Court, Abuja, and the Registry categorically distanced itself from the illegal enforcement of the said interim Order, especially as our Client’s application to set aside the interim forfeiture is pending.

“For your further education Sir, the Judgement of Ibrahim Mohammed is the latest and takes precedence over and above the Interim Order secretly obtained by the Commission without the joinder, knowledge, participation and service and/or publication of the said Order in any of the national dailies. The Commission is further challenged to provide any evidence of service of the said Interim Order on our Clients.

“It is quite unfortunate, appalling and shameful that the Commission once perceived to be a model to other sister agencies in the country, has degenerated into a cartel wherein, officers of the Commission now seizing properties and handling same to our opponent, Chief Michael Adeojo, who we have repeatedly defeated in Courts.

“We humbly urge you to urgently call the concerned EFCC officials to Order and forestall the imminent clash of the judgement and Orders of the Court, as our Clients shall equally be relying on the judgement and Order in their favour to utilise every legally conceivable means to protect its adjudged property”, the petition reads in part.

The Lawyer also threatened to ventilate the grievances to the “National Judicial Council (NJC), the National Security Adviser, the National Assembly, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the National Human Rights Commission and other relevant government functionaries”, if the EFCC Chairman refuses to take action within 48 hours.

When contacted via telephone Saturday night, Mr. Olayinka Macaulay, the leader of the team that invaded the said property on Thursday, declined comment. Rather, he directed that our Correspondent speak with media unit of the EFCC, even though he admitted carrying out the “official” duty on Thursday.

He said, “What I did is not in my personal capacity. It was in my official capacity. I was directed. So, I can’t now be personally attending to it. Because as you are calling me now, it is like I’m responding to it personally. If you want any response, it has to be a kind of formal response from our media unit”.

…but obey court orders as promised in your broadcast

ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Group under the auspices of Concerned Rivers People (CRP) has said that its attention has been drawn to the many comments of the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara immediately after the Supreme Court verdict and it did not come to us as a surprise.

The comments are designed to whip up sentiments to generate sympathy where there ought to be none because we all know of the saying that a child that decides to cry all night will not sleep so will the mother will not blink an eyelid.

He has said he remains unfazed and not scared of anything as he has nothing to lose at the end of the day, the statement from the Public Relations Officer, Concerned Rivers People, Alex Nwogu said on Monday.

Little wonder, Fubara has taken all Rivers people on a journey ride to nowhere as he has nothing to lose as come what may his life remains intact.

He has nothing to lose because he has looted more than enough. Spent more than 2 and half years expenditure of Wike in 2024.

Proposed 3 years expenditure in 2025. All with nothing to show.

He has also categorically stated in his statewide broadcast that he has directed his self appointed local government chairmen to handover to heads of local government administration in the 23 councils of the State

If we may ask where’s Fubara drawing his legal powers from? Is it the same 1999 constitution as amended as his directive directly contravenes all known norms of local administration in Nigeria.

We do not need to educate him on what to do since he has equally promised to obey court verdicts though in his half wisdom he is in disagreement with the apex court.

A man who swims in self delusion should be allowed to progress in errors, Fubara continue your progression.

CRP wants to quickly remind Rivers people also that a self inflicted wound is very difficult to heal particularly when one deliberately refuses to hear the whistle of a hunter like a strayed dog in the forest.

The Rivers State House of Assembly has spoken and given clear cut directive on Fubara’s next line of action so we are fervently believing in your new penance to obey and do the needful so that Rivers people do not wallow in hunger due to your deliberate errors in turning the principle of governance upside down in our beloved Rivers State.

Also, as a quick reminder, we have heard your dirge Fubara but cannot mourn with you.
