Former Governor James Onanefe Ibori of Delta State has lost his choice property located on Government Reservation Area in Benin, the Edo State capital, as the state Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has revoked the statutory right of occupancy granted to the former.
The property is located on plot 103A Aiguobasimwin Crescent, old GRA, in Oredo Local Government, the host capital town.
Governor Obaseki said he revoked the property in exercise of the power conferred on him by sections (28) 1 and 38 of the Land Use Degree of 1978 and by virtue of all other laws enabling him on that behalf.
Obaseki, who signed the revocation order, said the property contained an area of approximately 1985.950 square metres.
No further reason was given for the revocation.
But when contacted on Thursday for comment, Chief Ibori, who responded through a text message, said: “I am aware. He told me three months ago.”
