In the petition dated August 15, 2017, Mr Mbakwe through his legal representative, Ubani and Co. stated the he was shocked when some men from the Sheriff section of the Lagos court accompanied by Policemen on Monday stormed his property located at 18 Awolowo way, Ikeja with the purpose of executing a strange court judgment. Mbakwe noted that the said property was leased to him for a period of 10 years by the rightful owner, Mrs Risikatu Gbose Adegbule and that at no time was he informed or served with any court process of a pending litigation on the property. The businessman further stated that a day after the purported illegal judgment was executed, he found out that one Kolawole Ajayi Moses had instituted a court action against Mrs Adegbule before Justice Femi Adeniyi. According to him, throughout the duration of the suit until judgment was delivered, neither him nor Mrs Adegbule was served with any court process. Acting on the purported judgment, Mbakwe said that area boys on the instructions of Mr Kolawole have taken over the property paralysing business activities in the building complex. Stating that appropriate legal steps have been taken to address the judgment delivered without hearing from all parties. Mbakwe appealed to the Police Chief to assist in removing the hoodlums who have already halted business activities within the property. He further noted that since the illegal execution of the said judgment, all tenants properties within the property has been locked out with properties worth millions of naira have either been destroyed or stolen. ” I humbly appeal to your office to investigate this matter and duly despatch officers to remove the hooligans from the property in question to prevent further breach of peace,” he said.]]>
