River Park Estate Dispute: Court Declines Injunction Against Paulo Homes, FCT Minister

By Correspondent in Abuja.

An Abuja High Court has declined to grant an interlocutory injunction restraining Paulo Homes Ltd, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) from carrying out further activities within River Park Estate, Abuja.

Justice C.O. Agashieze, sitting as a vacation judge, refused to hear the motion on notice filed by Jonah Capital Nigeria Ltd after the counsel to Paulo Homes Ltd, Oluwabunmi Adebiyi, informed the court of a preliminary objection to the suit raised by the 1st defendant.

The motion on notice, marked M/10188/2025, stemmed from suit number FCT/HC/CV/2902/2025, instituted by Jonah Capital Nigeria Ltd against Paulo Homes Ltd, the FCT Minister, and the FCDA.

The claimant sought an order of interlocutory injunction restraining Paulo Homes and its agents from trespassing, seizing, taking over, selling, converting, or otherwise tampering with land within River Park Estate.

However, at the last sitting, Adebiyi argued that three Ghanaians,Kojo Mensah, Sam Jonah, and Victor Quainoo,who are currently facing trial before another FCT High Court for alleged forgery and unlawful takeover attempts, used the name of JonahCapital Nigeria Ltd to file the suit on July 28, 2025.

He noted that police investigations, supported by forensic reports, had confirmed that the documents used by the trio were allegedly forged.

Findings by our correspondent at the court on Monday revealed that the motion, which came up last Thursday, could not be heard because of the pending preliminary objection by the 1st defendant.

Speaking with journalits, Adebiyi clarified that no restraining order was granted against any of the defendants.

“What the court did was to return the entire case file to the Chief Judge of the FCT High Court for reassignment. Being a vacation court, it found the issues too complex to resolve within the limited time available,” he explained.

The legal practitioner further stressed that the court adjourned the matter sine die (indefinitely) without hearing any applications from either party, adding that it lacked jurisdiction to restrain any of the defendants while a preliminary objection was pending.

Adebiyi also dismissed claims of ongoing police investigations into the matter.

“The police have concluded their investigation and a report has been issued. I challenge anyone to present evidence of a directive from the Inspector-General of Police or the Attorney-General of the Federation to the contrary,” he said.

Our correspondent recalls that Justice Modupe-Osho Adebiyi of the FCT High Court, sitting in Gwarimpa, had earlier fixed October 7 for the arraignment of the three Ghanaians over alleged forgery, breach of investment agreements, unlawful property seizures, and impersonation.
