A real estate firm, Lumen-Deo Realities and Constructions Ltd, has petitioned Pennek Nig. Ltd, developer of Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction of Kubwa, Abuja, to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) for developing a disputed land in Abuja.

Lumen-Deo Realities and Constructions Ltd, in the petition, claimed that the developer, Pennek Nig. Ltd, is not only selling but also offering for sale as well as marketing and advertising its Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction,Kubwa, in Abuja, when the plot of land upon which the estate is built is subject matter of litigation.

The real estate firm in a suit number marked CV/2361/2023, appealed to FCCPC to compel Penek Nig. Ltd to desist and refrain from unconscionable selling, offering for sale, marketing, and advertising of its Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction, Kubwa, Abuja to the general public pending the determination of the suit which was filed on 12/2/2023 and served on respondent.

The solicitor to Lumen -Deo Realities Constructions Ltd, Chidi Odo, Esq of Assurance Solicitors, warned that it is against the welfare of consumers for the respondent to engage in the selling, offering for sale, marketing, and advertising of its Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction, Kubwa, Abuja through off and online media to unsuspecting members of the public without CAVEAT and/or CAUTION notifying the general public that the land (PLOT NO. 2118 CADASTRAL ZONE 15, located at Kubwa Extension District, in Kubwa,Bwari Area Council if Abuja,upon which the Estate is built and is being built is subject of litigation.

The plaintiff maintained that such act by the respondent was an unwholesome practice and injurious to consumers.

It prayed the Commission to order or compel Pennek Nig Ltd to publish in national newspapers or its social media platforms a warning or caution to the general public that the land upon which the Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction, Kubwa, Abuja is built or being built is subject of litigation to enable the public make an informed decision before purchasing litigation or heart attack instead of a property as it is the statutory duty of the commission to protect and promote the welfare of consumers.

The firm cautioned and warned the general public and prospective purchasers that Pennek Court Estate in Dutse Junction, Kubwa, Abuja is the subject of litigation in FCT High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice Mohammed, sitting at Court 54 in Gwagwalada.

The plaintiff advised anybody who bought land in the disputed area to go for a refund of his or her money as the land in dispute is in exclusive possession of Lumen -Deo Realities and Constructions Ltd.

The plaintiff warned that it would not hesitate to demolish buildings on the disputed land for trespass with the order of the court.

It would be recalled that the suit over the land was adjourned to 8/11/2023 following an interlocutory injunction restraining the respondent from constructing, selling, marketing, and advertising the houses in the land in dispute.
