“Abeh Signature is a cosmopolitan luxurious property with fifteen serviced flats for sale and rent. The property currently has over six owners and tenants currently occupying the premises and one of them is Asabe Waziri whose leasehold in the property has generated crisis, mischief, assault and disruption of the peace and quiet enjoyment of the premises. The said Asabe Waziri was a previous leaseholder whose transaction with us was terminated by a court judgment delivered by Hon Justice Musa Othman of the FCT High Court on February 15th,2022 and the judgment was enforced on the 18th of March 2022 wherein she was vacated from the premises.
Osakwe further stated that “however Asabe Waziri had adopted a criminal and illegal act to intimidate and subvert the course of justice and further cause personal injury to our personnel and company. She had instituted a suit against our company to challenge her eviction from the property in suit number FCT/HC/CV/927/2022, Asabe Waziri vs Abeh Signature LTD and 3others.
“But Asabe Waziri in conjunction with her lawyer Henry K.Otu from the law firm of Law Corridor Asokoro fraudulently and with intent to deceive misguided the court and obtained a judgment in conjunction with CSP Idachaba and Chukwuemeka Tony Ubani to illegally return her to my property. She on the 10th of May,2022 procured thugs and holigans who were armed with matchets and sharp objects into our property destroying doors, tables, chairs, electronics, gates and lifts(see pictures attached).
Osakwe noted that “they broke into one of the flats and carted away items including diamond jewlries belonging to the wife of one of the house owners. Sir Asabe Waziri’s action was supervised by CSP Idachaba and Chukwuemeka Tony Ubani who for questionable reasons provided the platform for such damage to our property. We therefore request the following;
That Asabe Waziri, her lawyer Henry Otu, Tony Chukwuemeka Ubani and CSP Idachaba be investigated for malicious damage to my property worth a 100Million Naira.
That Asabe Waziri, Henry Otu, Chukwuemeka Ubani and CSP Idachaba be prosecuted for criminal intimidation, criminal trespass and malicious damage to property under the penal code.
