Documents from the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) have emerged to counter a false claim by a staff of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, Asabe Waziri, over the purchase of a property located at 1, Mekong Close, Maitama, Abuja worth N130million.
There have been controversies over the purchase of an Abuja property by Waziri and a developer, Mr Cecil Osakwe.
SaharaReporters had reported that the NNPC staff had intended to purchase one unit of two bedroom flat from the developer, which was valued at N130 million but later resolved to purchase two units at N260 million.
It was further gathered that Waziri paid N140 million for the purchase of the choice property.
But due to the irreconcilable differences between the parties and coupled with the court order, Abbey Signature owned by Osakwe refunded the N140 million to Waziri with an additional N10 million, totalling N150 million refund.
According to a judgement of Justice Othman Musa of a High Court of Justice of the Federal Capital Territory, sitting in Apo, in suit no. FCT/HC/CV/2435/2021, the court ordered Abeh Signature Limited to take possession of the property after it filed a suit against the NNPC staff, alleging breach of contract sales agreement.
However, contrary to allegation by Waziri that the Managing Director of the company was holding unto her money after the court judgement, Osakwe, through his lawyer, Mr Victor Giwa, said a cheque of N150m was immediately issued in her name.
