Ogbuanu Sues Ex-Governor Nwobodo for ₦5.8bn Over Demolished Estate
Dr. Basil Kenechukwu Ogbuanu has filed a ₦5.8 billion lawsuit against former Anambra Governor Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo and his wife over the demolition of his properties at Patson Estate, Independence Layout. Court filings show Ogbuanu is claiming ₦820 million in special damages for destroyed buildings and materials, plus ₦5 billion for emotional and psychological distress. He alleges that his development was razed by earthmoving equipment while he was detained. The statement of claim details a series of transactions via Millennium Construction & Estate Developers, Linkana Hotels and Moss Island Limited. Ogbuanu says he paid over ₦235 million for several plots before discovering conflicting titles. In response, the Nwobodos filed a counter-suit arguing no valid sale took place and claiming they offered a refund. They also accuse Ogbuanu’s workers of assaulting a police officer and detaining Patricia Nwobodo. A Magistrate Court recently struck out criminal charges against Ogbuanu and awarded him costs.
