The house located at the Sagwari Layout of Dutse, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Terrritory, FCT, was built by the politician.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The wife identified as Christiana Obe had been married to Obe since 2006. The couple hailed from Ogbadibo Local Government Area LGA of Benue State.
It was gathered on Saturday that the incident happened on Wednesday, September 25, 2024.
Obe, while on his way to Benue State, received a call that some security operatives invaded his Abuja house and had begun to evict him from his own property.
Angered by the report, the politician swiftly made a u-turn along the Keffi road in Nasarawa State.
Upon returning to the house, he was handed a court document where it was stated that the same house had been confiscated over an outstanding loan taken by his wife.
But Obe told upon getting to the scene that he was never issued any court notice prior to the day his house was invaded by the security personnel.
Some military men in uniform and police officers were seen at the scene with Obe’s property littered across the street of Sagwari Layout.
Obe, referring to his wife, intermittently told our correspondent: “She has done her worse. This is a house I built with my hard-earned money.”
In a Facebook live, Obe claimed his wife stormed the house that belongs to him in collusion with some officers, wondering why a court could confiscate a property without prior notices.
Asked whether he was contacted by the lenders when the loan was taken, Obe said he had no knowledge the wife took any loan and was never contacted prior to the alleged loan.
He also disclosed that the wife took his son away to a place, apparently to a new apartment prior to the incident.
He also denied being served any court paper prior to the eviction.
“I was never served. This was plotted by my wife and the officers that came. We have been having issues for a while and I think this is her best way of getting at me,” he said.
It was gathered that Christiana, an officer of the Nigerian Air Force, had prior to the eviction, moved some of her things out of the house, including air-conditioners.
She went away unquestioned as Obe claimed he did not want to create a scene.
Meanwhile, our correspondent obtained the court papers served during the eviction. In the court paper, it was claimed the claimant had lived in the said duplex as a tenant.
A family member who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “Ewaoche (Obe) has invested a lot in this woman, even the job she currently has came from him. He saw this woman through school and has invested in her life in so many other ways. How do you connive with external persons to bring down a man you have lived with for more than two decades? How?.
“From the look of things, it is clear this is a clear case of oppression. Assuming this happened to a woman, we will say is because “na woman. This is a direct opposite. How can wife take a loan without informing the husband? Why did the lender not call to get details from property owner? Who values a house without a man who owns it? Something is seriously missing in all these.
“We gathered that the court papers are all fake and the people commissioned to carry out the eviction were mobilized illegally. We want the Air Force and the police to investigate the officers in the video.”
Christiana simply said “I am not under any obligation to speak to anyone.”…..For More READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE ▶▶
