An FCT High Court sitting in Maitama has fixed November 13 for hearing in a dispute over the Apo Resettlement Market Scheme amid allegations of disobedience to a subsisting court order.
The case involves a multi-billion-naira project on Plot 1729, Cadastral Zone E27, Apo District, Abuja. Developers Dr. Shuaibu Musari and Techs & Concretes Nigeria Ltd are seeking N850 million in damages from the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Investment Development Company Ltd and others for allegedly violating a court injunction.
Through their counsel, Mr. Realwan Okpanachi, the developers accused the claimants of continuing construction despite an April 15 injunction directing all parties to maintain the status quo. They urged the court to order demolition of the structures or mandate security agencies to seal the site.
Justice Halilu Yusuf, who had earlier upheld the developers’ legal interest in a joint venture with Manillah Integrated Partners Ltd, directed all parties to exchange necessary processes ahead of the November 13 hearing.
