NDINWUBA village, Obeagu community, Enugu South Local Government Area, Enugu State, has made it clear that the lands known Onuagu and Ugwuorie are its bonafide property.
The community made this categorical declaration in a statement issued and signed by the chairman of community,
Chief Ifeanyi Agbomba Egbo, to dismiss a court ruling they said was being circulated by mischief makers.
They have therefore cautioned the public to ignore the court ruling being circulated, describing it as fake.
The statement said: “We hereby write to notify the general public about the mischievous and calculated attempt to mislead by misinterpreting the clear and unambiguous ruling of His Lordship, Hon. Justice C.A. Ogbuabor (Ph.D) delivered on Thursday, the 19th day of September, 2024.
“We are aware of a write-up headed ‘COURT ORDER’ being circulated in some WhatsApp groups where attempts were made to twist the facts and the Court ruling”, the community warned.
This said order of court is erroneously claiming that it strikes out the matter on grounds of abuse of court process and multiplicity of actions, thereby overturning its interim order.
This is not true, they said. Truth, according to them, is that the said court order being peddled never formed part of the ruling of the Honourable Justice C.A. Ogbuabor (Ph.D) in the said suit.
“Be it known therefore that the above peddled ‘Court Order’ never formed part of the ruling of the Honourable Justice C.A. Ogbuabor (Ph.D) in the said suit as can be gleaned from the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Ruling which was issued to us by the said court.
“It is sacrilegious of the hallowed temple of justice for any party to a suit to supplant, add, modify or expand the ruling of a court, against all known canons of interpretation.
“The ruling remains inviolably what it is, and nobody, whether a party to a suit or not, can embark on any riotous interpretation of the clear and unambiguous ruling which was expressed in an ordinary and understandable language.
“This act is contemptuous of the court and we believe there are consequences which necessarily must follow.
“We take it for granted that the purveyors of this fake ruling intended to deceive the unwary members of the public to believe we are no longer the bonafide owners of our lands, namely: Onuagu and Ugwuorie lands.
“We wish to state unequivocally that ownership of the said lands remains with us, and we continue to enjoy peaceful possession of same, as they are our ancestral lands.”
