The politician went to court to seek more than N2 billion in damages for the Abuja authorities’ alleged illegal demolition of his home, which he said they did because he refused to sell it.

In a decision on Thursday, a high court in Maitama prevented the FCT minister, Muhammad Bello, from destroying Prince Kpokpogri’s home any further.

The decision was made in response to an ex-parte application Kpokpogri submitted through his legal team, which included Mike Ozekhome (SAN). In it, Ozekhome detailed how the FCDA broke into his client’s home on May 14 using armed police officers, bulldozers, and excavators.

The Delta lawmaker claimed that the FCDA officials threatened to return and completely demolish Kpokpogri’s home while failing to provide any explanation for their actions. They reportedly started by demolishing the boys’ quarters of his home.

Ozekhome pleaded with the court to become involved in the case for the sake of justice.

In his decision, Justice Charles Agbaza stated that he thought the ex-parte application had validity and as a result, had granted all of the reliefs requested by the applicant. Justice Agbaza ascertained:
