The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) have been sued for N1 billion over the alleged unlawful revocation of a property belonging to Green Lake International Limited in Abuja.
The property in question, located in the Maitama District, is identified as Plot 2786, Cadastral Zone A06, Maitama. Green Lake, the plaintiff, claims that its Certificate of Occupancy was revoked by the Minister and FCDA in 2009, despite having acquired the property legally in 2006, after the previous owner, Lodigiani Nigeria Limited, failed to develop it.
Green Lake is seeking compensation for alleged trespass and a court order to nullify the revocation and its related certificate issued to Lodigiani. The plaintiff also seeks a declaration of ownership and the right to evict trespassers from the property.
The suit has been scheduled for hearing on November 19 before Justice M.A. Hassan.
