The sealed up property houses various business entities including Angelos, Café, Zevis, Pharmaceuticals, EOD PFM Ltd, Lord of Hosts Miracle Church, who have been carrying their various businesses in the premises for several years.

The Exparte Order was granted in a case for enforcement of Fundamental Rights in Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/4636/2025, instituted by Mr. Henry Ugonna Orabuchi Vs Nigeria Police Force and Others.

The plaintiff had alleged that his fundamental Rights as guaranteed under Sections 34, 35, 36, 37, 41, and 44 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), and Articles 9 and 14 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, have been breached.

He claimed that he purchased 3,000 square meters of reclaimed land situated at the back of Plot No A Block 12, Lekki Peninsula Scheme, Lagos State from the Landlord, Mr. Emecheta Elvis Eze, which has nothing to do with the premises where the business entities are located.

The plaintiff filed the suit to shield him from honouring invitation of the Nigeria Police Force, following a Petition against him by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, (lawyer to Mr. Emecheta) over Mr.
Henry’s conduct that amounts to criminal trespass, damage to property and threat to life.

In the fundamental Rights suit filed by the law office of Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, on behalf of the plaintiff, it was argued that the Police Invitation infringes on his fundamental Rights and is aimed at compelling him into relinquishing his lawful proprietary and contractual rights over the 3,000square meters of reclaimed land behind the sealed up property.

In his Exparte application before the Court, Ojukwu urged the Court to grant an Exparte Order to seal up the Lagos property.

The court presided over by Justice Musa granted the order on on November 24, 2025 to seal and secure the entire property, including the reclaimed land at the back of the property measuring 3,000 square meters

He also ordered the immediate stoppage of all construction works, activities, actions, or steps on the said property while ensuring that no person, authority, or entity howsoever described is permitted access to or entry upon the property pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit pending before the court.

Following the order of the court which was supposed to have been vacated, having elapsed, on December 30, 2025,, all the occupants of the property and their workers were forcefully chased out of their business premises and the property was sealed up by people who introduced themselves as officers of the FCT High Court, from Abuja.

All efforts by the various business owners to explain to the FCT Court officials that their business premises is different from the 3,000square meters of the reclaimed land upon which the plaintiff claim is predicated, met stiff resistance as they were forcefully pushed out of the premises without being allowed any opportunity to remove anything from there.

The institution of this case in FCT Abuja and the grant of the Exparte Order suggests a grand and calculated scheme orchestrated to cause mischief and hardship on the Landlord of the Premises and the innocent occupants who have been deprived of access to their business premises. The Business owners are not parties to the alleged agreement between Mr. Henry Ugonna Orabuchi, and Mr. Elvis Emecheta, over the 3,000 square meters of the reclaimed land behind their business premises and are not parties to the fundamental rights enforcement suit.

The Exparte Order of the FCT High Court over the Lagos property is a manipulation and abuse of judicial process using the instrumentality of the judiciary itself (FCT High Court) which has occasioned great hardship and injustice on the business owners and Landlord.

Following credible intelligence received on 20th December 2025 that suspected members of the Aiye Confraternity, also known as Black Axe, were planning an initiation ceremony within the forest, the commander Quick Response Squad (QRS), SP Collins Achem, swiftly activated operational assets to forestall the criminal gathering. At about 2300hrs, the QRS Commander led a team of highly trained operatives to the identified location. On sighting the patrol team, the suspects engaged the operatives in a gun duel. The operatives responded with professionalism and tactical superiority, leading to the arrest of thirteen (13) suspects, while several others fled deeper into the forest.

A search of the area resulted in the recovery of the following exhibits: two (2) automatic pump-action guns, one (1) double-barrel cut-to-size gun, one (1) single-barrel cut-to-size gun, one (1) battle axe, aprons bearing “NBM” insignia, razor blades cut into pieces, several mobile phones, charms, and suspected hard drugs.

The suspects are currently in custody, while investigations have commenced to establish their individual roles, dismantle the network, and track down other fleeing members of the syndicate.

“As you have supported us in 2025, we want to say come 2026, we need to do more in that regard. Tell your youths, tell everyone in your community that the time of oil bunkering is over. This is the time to join hands with the government to stop all forms of criminality along the TNP.
“So I want to urge you that come 2026 double up your efforts in supporting us while we will also double our efforts in bringing out programmes that will be for the benefit of everyone in these communities,” he stated.
He also used the opportunity to announce to the people of the free medical services going on simultaneously with the distribution of the palliatives.

According to IYE, it is both insensitive and dangerous for anyone to take advantage of a moment of collective mourning to launch unfounded attacks against a revered traditional institution. The group stated unequivocally that claims suggesting the Palace was attempting to shield suspects linked to the crime were false, malicious, and calculated to erode the moral authority of the Olu of Warri, an institution it described as the enduring symbol of unity and justice in Itsekiri land.

IYE explained that at the time the allegations were being circulated, the Palace was engaged in long-scheduled and widely publicised cultural activities, including the Ghighọ́n Aghọ́fẹn celebrations and the installation of new chiefs, all conducted peacefully and in strict adherence to Itsekiri customs. It added that while investigations continue into incidents that later occurred in Ogidigben, it was dishonest to conflate those developments with palace activities or to weaponise the death of Mr. Onuwaje for ulterior motives.

The group further alleged that certain actors, driven by personal grievances and political vendetta, had mobilised youths towards Ogidigben with the aim of destabilising the community and targeting individuals loyal to the Palace. It expressed concern that Ayiri Emami had failed to acknowledge the destruction of properties worth millions of naira belonging to palace supporters and Chief John DejiOkpeyo, while paradoxically accusing Chief Captain John Deji Okpeyo, who was reportedly in Warri at the material time of orchestrating violence in his own ancestral home.

While reaffirming its sympathy with the family of the deceased, IYE warned that turning a tragic loss into a tool for personal revenge, particularly against the Palace, could plunge Warri Kingdom into avoidable crisis. The group called on the Federal Government to order a thorough and transparent investigation into both the killing and the destruction of property in Ogidigben, urged the Delta State Government to reinforce security in the area, and reiterated its unwavering confidence in the Olu of Warri and his Palace, insisting that the truth would ultimately prevail over propaganda.

Speaking at a dinner held at the State House Conference Centre to celebrate the 85th birthday of the elder statesman, President Tinubu said he was delighted that the sentiments he had about the former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is also a former governor of Osun State, resonated well with other speakers at the event.

“Listening to the remarks from the podium, they are inspirational enough. It has been said that you are Mr. Integrity, we, the younger ones, are very lucky to have you. You deserve to be celebrated. Thank you for always being forthright and being honest. I do not want to repeat myself beyond the fact that, lucky enough for me, I have you. I thank God for your life,” the President said to Chief Akande.

Recounting the role of Chief Akande in the process leading to the emergence of the APC as a mega party and its eventual election victory in 2015, the President stated that the lessons in forgiveness and patience that he learnt from the elder statesman eventually led him to becoming the President of Nigeria.

“Anyone who wants to learn about forgiveness, candour, reliability, should see Chief Bisi Akande. You taught us perseverance, patience, honesty, and management of resources, be it human or capital. See me standing before you, I am the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“You know how many times and how long that we spoke truth to power, deliberate on how to take the cuff off this nation, how to change and comply with our developmental objectives. You have been doing it whispering silently, ‘be patient, forget the past, look forward'”, the President said.

In his response, Chief Akande, who said he had concluded arrangements to have a discourse on ‘leadership’ to mark his birthday in Ibadan, thanked the President and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for the dinner, acknowledging that President Tinubu had always been pivotal in the celebration of his birthdays since the 70th anniversary.  

He harped on the twin values of loyalty and honesty in dealings with friends.

Other speakers at the event, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio; House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai, Minister of Solid Minerals Dele Alake, and former Chairman of TETFUND, Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, extolled the virtues of the elder statesman.

The explosion killed two persons and wounded about 80 others. It also destroyed several buildings, vehicles, and other properties.

It is worrisome that the cause of the blast is being attributed to the activities of illegal miners. Those behind the inexcusable and reckless behavior that has created the conditions for this sad incident to occur must be fished out and punished.

I commiserate with the government and people of Oyo State and call on all concerned agencies of government to unravel the circumstances that led to this tragedy with alacrity.

I have directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to work with the Oyo State Government to offer immediate and comprehensive relief to the victims.
