The landowners, under the auspices of the Trustees of the Association of Plot Owners, Maitama Extension, Maitama Aliero & 11 others, had approached the court on December 16, 2022 to restrain the defendants and their agents from “committing further acts of trespass, forcibly developing, acquiring, taking over, meddling in or with, transferring, disposing of, speculating in respect of the properties of the claimants/applicants lying, being, situate at and known as and within Cadastral Zone A05, Maitama a.k.a Maitama Aliero.” 

The court granted the restraining order after hearing the defendants’ affidavit in support of the motion paper attached with 13 exhibits, sworn by Dr Angela Ekure, and written arguments by the counsel to the applicant, Williams Ataguba.

The court adjourned the case to June 20 for hearing.
