My people, gbege don burst for Lekki as court order wey dey cause wahala don seal one big property for Lekki Peninsula Scheme. Na Sir Elvis Emecheta be the owner of this land wey dey cause kasala for Abuja High Court. Na Justice Othman Musa na im grant the order as e concern Henry Ugonna Orabuchi and di Nigeria Police Force.
According to the gist, dis order meant make police no fit arrest Orabuchi over land matter wey he claim say na him buy. E don call plenty waka for court, as cases dey scatter like kpof-kpof! E say im buy 3,000 square metres of land from Emecheta but wahala don start when im enter di reclaimed land go fence am as e like. Na dat one con lead to serious palava, as e com dey loss ground from other potential tenants wey don invest money.
Now, dem don seal di property as e mean say business go dey cool down for this festive season. Lekki wey be area wey dey bubble don turn ghost town! E be like say law no dey sweet for people wey dey want hustle abeg. As Emecheta dey talk, he don get Certificate of Occupancy for over 30 years but police and court don carry drama come wey don affect many small businesses wey dey operate for di area.
People wey dey watch di matter don dey raise eyebrow say wetin concern FCT Court with property wey dey Lagos? No be wetin dem dey call jurisdiction wahala? Na dis kind tin dey make naija law some kind funny as e no dey straight at all. E reach December 30, people claim dem dey official land grabbers come storm di place, chase people wey dey work there, follow sealing up shops during Christmas. Wahala dey! E be like say dem no get respect for festive period at all!
Emecheta don yan say dem don scatter di area, say shops don dey close, people don dey lose their livelihoods. E dey vex say after im don do everything right, agencies still come wahala him life like dis. Wetin you go expect when polygamous family dey for land matter? Different parties don dey cry foul!
Legal observers dey talk say dis action fit dey lead to serious palava, especially for businesses wey no get power to fight back. As court dey plan to hear the case again on December 16, e go be interesting to see how dem go fit untwist this gbege wey don tie much people for Lekki. Dem suppose find solution wey go benefit everybody, abeg! E don too much already!”
