Children of Idongesit Nlanga, the late former military administrator of Akwa Ibom State, have approached a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja,
The children, Mr. UtibeAbasi Idongesit Nkanga, Mr. Etietop Nkanga, Mr Lance Okon Nkanga and Mr. Ini Idara Nkanga, joined as judgement debtors/applicants in a motion on notice filed before the court through their lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, are asking the court to set aside the warrant of possession illegally obtained by their father’s wife and reinstate them back to premises.
The late Nkanga, married Mosunsola in 2007 after his marriage to Joanna, his first wife who had the four children, was dissolved by a court of law. Based on the judgement and the subsequent warrant for the possession of the premises signed by Justice O.A. Musa, Nkanga’s wife secured an enforcement team from the court and evicted her stepchildren from the house, leaving them stranded after seizing their property.
“Before you can remove somebody from a property, there has to be another court order, but there was no such order, the court only granted her access, even the warrant used was an illegal one because by law a warrant can only last for three months,” he told our correspondent. According to him, the unlawful eviction of the applicants by the respondent is also a violation of their “fundamental human rights” to own and have interest in a property as enshrined in sections 34,43 and 44 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999.
