July 8, 2023An Abuja High Court sitting at Jabi has fixed September 1 to hear a suit by four children of a former military Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Idongesit Nkanga, who alleged that they were forcefully evicted from their deceased father’s house by their stepmother.At the resumed proceedings in the matter, Mr Effiong, told the court that the plaintiffs are currently homeless, adding that the children had lived in the property before Mosun was married by their late father in 2007.
Contrary to Effiong’s claim that his clients were homeless, Omorogbe told the court that “at the time of the eviction, the children, were holidaying in France.” After he had listened to both sides, Justice O. A. Musa, said the court was empowered to “revisit whatever it did.” The court had on the strength of a suit that was filed by their stepmother, Mosun, issued an order on March 24, 2022, granting her possession of her late husband’s estate at No. 3A and B Mary Slessor Close, off Udo Udoma, off Yakubu Gowon Road, in Asokoro.
However, the plaintiffs refuted the claim that they denied their stepmother access to their late father’s property.
