Mr. Felix Ezeamama, a controversial property speculator and Lagos-based businessman, has been accused of manhandling the occupants of an apartment on Kingsway Road, Ikoyi, Lagos who include a 90-year-old woman, Alhaja Halima Abubakar.
Gistmania correspondent reports that Ezeamama led some uniformed men and hoodlums armed with machetes and another dangerous weapon to the Block A, Flat 1 and 2 of the apartment at about 4 am on May 6, 2017.
Daughter of the nonagenarian, Aisha Abubakar, who narrated the ordeal of her grandmother, said the thugs asked the three of the occupants who also include her mother to sit on the floor as they destroyed their property in addition to allegedly carting away her mother’s gold jewelry and cash.

“We heard bangs on the gates as they hit it so hard, i initially thought they where robbers as they arrived at our home in the early hours,” Aisha said. They broke down the gates and the wall, forced themselves into my mother’s room and then dragged us out. We tried to escape but they threatened to kill us if we dared.

“I sat defenseless as they took my mother’s trinket. They also took foreign currencies and about N7million-proceeds from the sale of her wares and took foodstuff from the refrigerator.”

Alhaja Abubakar, who is the claimant, also asked the court to declare that she could not be compelled to sell her interest to the defendants or anyone acting for them while urging the court to declare that the purported Acceptance Form being paraded by the first and second defendants was obtained by fraud, as well as a perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, their agents and any other person from trespassing on the property.
The defendants, however, argued through their lawyer, Mr. C.O. Ejezie, that the claimant had employed the services of several solicitors to ensure that the property was offered to her with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and other contracts entered into between her and the first defendant, urging the court to declare the claimant's rejection of the offer of N7million as a breach of contract while also praying the court to order the claimant to vacate the property and pay the sum of N2.8million as damage
Gistmania correspondent learnt that Mr. Ezeamama has gained notoriety for harassing owners of properties over disputes that were already in court. He was variously reported in the media to have brutalized business owners at 17 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos on September 19, 2016, over payment of rent.
It was also learnt that the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), the Federal Government’s agency established to resolve non-performing loans with Nigerian banks, had filed a debt recovery action against Mr. Ezeamama on the said property in Ikoyi. He was consequently restrained from dealing with or charging any existing tenants’ rents as the court order expressly directed that all tenants were to accord recognition to AMCON as the de-facto landlord.
Despite the restraining order, however, Mr. Ezeamama was reported to have hired some thugs to evict, harass and brutalize the tenants to force them into paying him rent.
