Abuja Magistrate Says She Never Ordered Police to Seize Guzape Property

Magistrate Farida Ibrahim says she never authorised police to take over a property in Guzape, Abuja, or remove the security personnel stationed there. In a ruling delivered on October 23, she directed the police to restore possession and return the guards, and to produce any written order they claim authorised the takeover. In a separate ruling on October 27, Ibrahim declined jurisdiction over the criminal complaint and struck it out. She said the parties should raise the alleged disobedience before the FCT High Court, where the main dispute is pending. Clazi Nigeria Ltd and Ngozi Abakporo are also asking the High Court to dismiss a fresh suit filed by Ghali Abdul. They argue that an earlier judgment, upheld on appeal, prevents the dispute from being heard again.
