The group equally implored the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, to wade into the matter by calling on the police to refrain from further threatening to arrest the lawyer.
Narrating how the issue started, Opara said a staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mrs Asabe Waziri, who bought a multi-million naira property in the Maitama district of Abuja, led to a series of litigations. The purchase of the multi million naira property by Waziri was said to have attracted several court cases before the FCT High Court, during which an order was issued for her eviction due to her alleged faceoff with other property owners in the apartment as well as financial infraction in the purchase transaction.
Although, she was said to have challenged her eviction in court, Opara accused Mrs Waziri of resorting to self help “with the unlawful use of police to achieve what she could not achieve in the open court.”
