Former Chairman of the Delta State Peoples Democratic
Party and Delta North Senator, Barrister Peter Nwaoboshi has been dragged to an
Asaba High Court for alleged blatant defiance to an injunction granted by
Justice F. Azinge of the Delta State High Court sitting in Asaba arising from
the ownership tussle between DavNotch and Senator Nwaoboshi in which all
parties were restrained from accessing the parcel of land pending the
determination of the substantive suit.
According to Davnotch's counsel, Sola Rhiogbere, his
client, DavNotch had instituted a case of trespass, vide suit No A/104/2016,
accusing Senator Nwaoboshi of trespassing on his land; a claim Senator
Nwaoboshi denied and shunned adherence to the judicial injunction on the
disputed property.
Rhiogbere said that "sequel to the development Form
48: notice of consequences of disobedience of court order was issued and served
on Senator Nwaoboshi in the manner earlier granted by the court when ordering
substituted service of the originating and all other processes on the Senator
but surprisingly, the Federal lawmaker still defied the order and was
subsequently served with Form 49: notice to show cause why order of commital
should not be made against you(Senator Nwaoboshi )
This development Mr. Rhiogbere said was preceded by his
petitioning the Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zane Ibrahim alleging
that in May this year, some persons believed to be agents of Nwaoboshi,
forcefully broke into the company’s land measuring 4019.440 square meters and
began construction on the land.
He further averred that the ownership of the land is
incontestable as available authenticated documents shows that the Davnotch Company
owns the land situated at plot 37, Core Area,Central Spine, Phase IV, Asaba. “This
is covered by Certificate of Occupancy, No. DTSR 14767 issued in 2010, approved
by the then State Governor, signed by then Commissioner for Lands, Raymos
Guanah, on behalf of the governor. It was registered as No. 47 on page 47 in volume
Co 186 of the office of the Lands Registry in Asaba with relevant details of
payment for the land,” the counsel said.
Hearing in the case resumes on October 12, 2016.
