OHHA MICROFINANCE BANK FILES N20BN SUIT AGAINST ENUGU GOVT OVER ALLEGED UNLAWFUL DEMOLITION

OHHA MICROFINANCE BANK FILES N20BN SUIT AGAINST ENUGU GOVT OVER ALLEGED UNLAWFUL DEMOLITION

Ohha Microfinance Bank Limited has filed a legal suit against the Enugu State Government, claiming that the demolition and destruction of its headquarters and assets were unlawful and without compensation.

The bank is seeking a total of N20,420,194,500 in damages for the alleged violation of its constitutional rights.

The lawsuit, filed at the Enugu State High Court on Monday, names the Enugu State Government and the Attorney General of the state as defendants.

The bank argues that the demolition, which took place on May 15, 2024, violated its constitutional right to own property.

The bank is specifically challenging the 72-hour notice it received to vacate its corporate headquarters on Ogui Road, Enugu, followed by the destruction of its headquarters and valuable assets, including two safes valued at N15 million. In its suit, the bank claims that the actions of the Enugu State Government contravene Sections 43 and 44(1) of the Nigerian Constitution and international human rights laws.

The suit also includes a demand for N420,194,500 in special damages and an additional N20 billion in aggravated, punitive, and general damages for the unlawful destruction of the bank’s assets.

The bank is further requesting interest at a rate of 18% on the special damages from May 15, 2024, until judgment is delivered, and a 10% interest on the total judgment sum until it is fully paid.

In his statement, Olu Omotayo, one of the lawyers representing the bank, highlighted that the government’s actions have undermined the state’s claim to be investor-friendly.

The lawyer noted that the state’s refusal to compensate the bank for its property violations is a direct breach of Nigerian constitutional rights.

    POLICE INSPECTOR FOUND DEAD IN ABUJA HOTEL ROOM AFTER NIGHT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA DATE

    POLICE INSPECTOR FOUND DEAD IN ABUJA HOTEL ROOM AFTER NIGHT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA DATE A police inspector, identified as Lawal Ibrahim from the Kwali Division, has been found dead in a hotel room in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. According to reports, Ibrahim died following a rendezvous with a woman he reportedly met online. The incident occurred at Palasa Guest Inn early last Thursday. According to sources, the inspector had invited the woman, identified as Maryam Abba, from Dutse, Jigawa State, three months after their initial interaction on social media. Eyewitness accounts suggest the pair had engaged in intimate relations upon checking into the hotel on Wednesday evening. The following morning, around 6 a.m., the duo reportedly engaged in another round, after which the inspector began breathing erratically and became unresponsive. Maryam, noticing the unusual condition, attempted to revive him by sprinkling water but received no response. She alerted the hotel manager, Danlami Palasa, who then reported the situation to the Gwagwalada police division. Police officers arrived at the scene and found the lifeless body of the inspector in the hotel room. His remains were subsequently taken to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, where doctors confirmed his death. Authorities recovered several items from the room, including watermelon, a drug suspected to be an aphrodisiac, a phone charger, and the deceased’s police identity card. Maryam has been taken into custody, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death is underway. A police source from the Gwagwalada division confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, adding that efforts are being made to determine the cause of death.
