A Benin High Court has restrained the Edo Government and its agents from demolishing a hotel belonging to a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Tony Adun.
The Ministry of Urban Planning had issued a seven -day notice for the relocation of the hospitality sited at Ugbor within the capital, saying it was built on government land.
But Justice D. I . Okungbowa yesterday gave the restraining order in the suit numbered B/ 151/ 05 /2019 and filed by Adun.
However, the plaintiff has pleaded with the state government to temper justice with mercy.
He said the property had a certificate of occupancy besides the court’ s injunction.
Addressing reporters in Benin City, he stated : “ You see , this is my deed of transfer for the property . This is the Oba’s approval . This is the signature of the Surveyor – General of the state.
“ You can see the youths from all parts of the state here in solidarity and the governor, even though I may have wronged him anyway through politics or freedom of speech , should please have mercy . ”
