ABACHA FAMILY APPEALS COURT RULING ON REVOKED PROPERTY
The family of late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has filed an 11-ground appeal against President Bola Tinubu, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the Federal Capital Territory Development Authority (FCDA) over the revocation of their property in Abuja.
The family, represented by Hajia Maryam Abacha and her son Mohammed, is seeking to overturn the Federal High Court's decision, which revoked their Certificate of Occupancy and handed the property to Salamed Ventures Limited.
The appeal argues that the trial court erred in law, citing issues with jurisdiction, locus standi, and the transfer of title during the pendency of the case. The family also claims that the revocation was not carried out in accordance with the Land Use Act and that no compensation was paid.
The appeal seeks to set aside the judgment and return the property to the Abacha family or, alternatively, for the Court of Appeal to hear and determine the case as a court of first instance. No date has been fixed for the appeal to be heard.
