The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again stormed a disputed land in the Mabushi area of Abuja, days after the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court delivered a judgment restraining the anti-graft agency from further investigation, prosecution or interference in the matter.

SaharaReporters obtained videos showing EFCC officials recently invading the property, with one of them seen carrying mattresses inside, apparently to sleep on the premises.

On November 11, 2025, Justice Modupe Osho-Adebiyi of the FCT High Court delivered a judgment dismissing Charge No. FCT/HC/CR/151/2023 filed against Jona Brothers Construction Ltd and its Director, Comrade Uche Vincent.

The court held that the EFCC’s investigation and prosecution over the ownership of plots 680–689, Cadastral Zone B06, Mabushi, Abuja constituted a “gross abuse of statutory powers,” “malicious, vexatious, and oppressive use of legal process.”

Justice Osho-Adebiyi not only dismissed the case in limine (at the very outset), but also awarded a punitive cost of N20 million against the EFCC and restrained the Commission from filing any new charges or conducting any investigation relating to the land while a judgment by Justice S.U. Bature, which declared Jona Brothers the legal owner, remains in force.

The restraining order was formally issued on November 28, 2025.

But barely 24 hours later, on Friday, November 28, 2025, EFCC operatives returned to the disputed property.

EFCC Storms Land With Armed Policemen Despite Court Order

According to the company’s lawyers, about six armed policemen and 30 other individuals, some allegedly linked to businessman Chief Michael Adeojo, the EFCC’s principal complainant, invaded the land on Friday.

The policemen reportedly broke into a makeshift building on the site; accessed sensitive documents and building materials; moved in mattresses and slept on the property until December 1, 2025, leaving only after learning that Jona Brothers was mobilising to resist the intrusion.
