BREAKING NEWS: Court Orders Army To Vacate Disputed Land, Awards N3m To Claimant
A State High Court sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, has issued a perpetual injunction restraining the Nigerian Army and the General Officer Commanding 3 Armoured Division, Maxwell Khobe Cantonment, Jos, to immediately vacate and dismantle all illegal structures erected on a disputed parcel of land at Adisindu village, Dutsen Kura in Bassa LGA of the State.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
LEADERSHIP reports that the property measuring 1.449 hectares and covered by the Certificate of Occupancy No: PL56329, belongs to Dr. Mawo Abaya, a missionary and founder of the International Centre of Evangelism.
The claimant, Dr. Abaya had through a firm of Solicitors, Harry Partners, sought multiple declarations affirming his ownership and challenging what he described as unlawful entry and surveying, digging and erection of structures by the Army on his land .
He asserted that the land originally belonged to the Ati Adeji family of Igbak-Kago village, who sold it to him via a duly executed sale agreement dated September 17, 2017, adding that subsequently he obtained a valid Certificate of Occupancy from the Plateau State Ministry of Lands.
Dr. Abaya also told the court that he first noticed the Army encroachment in 2022 after the defendant fenced the property and despite notifying the Army of their wrongful act of trespass and his intention to seek legal redress, the construction continued.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army also presented one witness, the Acting Director of Legal Services of the 3 Armoured Division, who argued that the entire land, measuring 7.76 square miles was acquired in 1973 by the Federal Ministry of Defence in two phases from the Rukuba community.
He claimed that compensation was paid in 1995 and that the claimant acted in error when purchasing the land in 2017, stressing that the Plateau State Ministry of Lands had previously issued and later withdrawn a Right of Occupancy granted to another entity for a Police Post-retirement Housing Scheme on the same land.
The presiding judge, Hon. Justice S.D. Samchi, in his ruling held that the Nigerian Army failed to provide credible evidence to support its claims that the land formed part of the vast area compulsorily acquired by the Federal Government in 1973 for military use.
He held that the Respondent failed to discharge the burden of proof required to establish that the disputed parcel formed part of the land allegedly acquired in 1970s.
According to him, the exhibits tendered by the Army, including documents relating to the acquisition, survey plans and compensation, did not convincingly link to the particular land covered by exhibits B (C of O PL56329) to any previous acquisition.
The court further held that the Army’s action of fencing off the land constituted trespass, noting that their conduct reasonably created psychological distress and apprehension for the claimant and therefore awarded N3 million as general damages to the claimant.
The court granted reliefs 1-7 sought by the claimant, including a declaration affirming the claimant as the legal and beneficial owner of the land, an order directing the Army to vacate the property and remove all illegal structures and a perpetual injunction restraining further interference or development. The Army’s counterclaims were dismissed in their entirety.
“This shall be the judgement of the court,” Justice Samchi declared.

Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
Even after her previous marriage ended, Abdul remained a steadfast presence, looking after her and her children through difficult times and significant milestones.
