FCT High Court. Photo: HotelsAn FCT High Court on Friday ordered the FCT minister to issue a Certified Certificate of Occupancy to a housewife, Mrs Habiba Abdullahi.
Abdullahi, filed a suit filed against the FCT minister, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and Its Effiong, over a land located in Katampe district of the FCT.
Delivering judgment, Justice Peter Affen,also ordered a perpetual injunction restraining the FCT minister and the FCDA or their agents from revoking or relocating to any other person or persons right of occupancy to the said land.
Justice Affen held that the defendants refused to provide evidence showing that they are not the ones who allocated the land to the plaintiff.
“ In the absence of any valid art of revocation I can not but hold that the plaintiff land title remains intact.
“There is no gain saying that the minister has the statutory right to allocate or reallocate land in FCT but there must be evidence of revocation of a land before it is reallocated.
