Peter Obi, former LP presidential candidate, revealed that his brother’s company property in Ikeja was demolished without prior notice, permit, or proper court order. In a long statement on X, he detailed how he rushed from Abuja to Lagos only to find confusion, unanswered questions, and bulldozers.
- Obi’s brother was denied access to the Ikeja site as demolition was already underway.
- No court judgment or demolition permit could be produced.
- The supposed court order was against “unknown persons” and squatters, not the actual company.
- The contractors claimed not to know who sent them.
- Obi stood for hours seeking answers, none came.
- He says this incident reflects a broader breakdown of law and civil rights.
- Warns that investors are avoiding Nigeria because of such impunity.
Obi’s outcry is not just about a demolished building; it’s about a crumbling system. When the rights of even a prominent Nigerian are violated without consequence, what’s left for the rest? His final words echo like a plea: A new Nigeria is POssible—but only if the law returns to the centre.
