Abuja land dispute: Dame Patience Jonathan VS Hajiya Turai Yar’Adua

Abuja land: Turai Yar’Adua and Dame Patience Jonathan to settle out of court
    VERSUS

First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan and her predecessor, Hajiya Turai Yar’Adua are ready to settle their dispute over a plot of land in Abuja out-of-court.

The documents before the court showed that the land was duly allocated to Turai’s pet project: the “Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYE)”, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), after it was issued with the Right of Occupancy for plot 1347 Cadastral Zone by the Federal Captal Territory (FCT) minister.
This, followed an application by the Registered Trustees of WYEF after paying N184.529 million.
Under the terms of grant, the plaintiff was given three years to develop the property based on approved building plans.
After the payments of the various levies, the plaintiff paid additional N76.936 million as building plan fees after which the grant and approval of the building plans were made and given in line with the master plan for Abuja.
Thereafter, the plaintiff appointed and mobilised a building company, Al-Cooks Nigeria Limited to develop the property for N13.516 million
On November 1, 2011, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) sent an additional bill of N18.529 million being the balance of the various charges under the grant which the plaintiff paid the following day.
Shortly after these transactions, the minister for the FCT without reasons, issued a revocation notice on the said property which it re-allocated to the plaintiff for the purpose of building public institution (Training/Vocational Centre).
Immediately after the revocation, the FCT Minister, Bala Muhammed swiftly re-allocated the plot to another organisation – the African First Ladies Peace Centre, believed to be the pet project of Dame Jonathan.
It was at this stage that the Turai’s organisation went to court to challenge the actions of the minister with respect to the revocation letter.
Before Justice Peter Affen, it sought and obtained a restraining order, barring the minister and the FCTA, the AGIS and the Attorney-General of the Federation from carrying out further activities at the site.
However, while the order of the court was still subsisting, the defendants in defiance of the said order, mobilised people to the site to commence work.
Dissatisfied, counsel to WAYE, Innocent Lagi went back to the court and initiated contempt proceedings against the defendants.
Last Friday, the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation approached the court with a motion seeking to vacate the said order.
