The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal brought before it by Jude Chidiebere, a former husband to Nigeria's envoy to Argentina, Chikerenwa Cordelia Anyatonwu over joint ownership of property in Abuja. Justice Okon Abang in a judgement delivered on Monday, dismissed the appeal for want of merit.
Not satisfied with the decision of the high court, Chidiebere approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja, praying that the judgement of the high court be voided and set aside on ground of miscarriage of justice. The appellate court held that, the appellant did not establish any source of income to be able to buy a property other than been a driver, driving the former envoy around in Argentina and that, the court cannot speculate for him.
“In all, this appeal lacks merit and is hereby accordingly dismissed. The judgement of the FCT High Court delivered on December 11,2019 in favour of the first respondent’s soul ownership of the property is hereby affirmed,” the Justice Abang held.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
