The chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue state Chief Abba Yaro has denied claims that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has seized a house that he purchased illegally.

Chief Yaro, in a chat with our correspondent, presented several documents, including Deeds of Assignment between the owner of the house Chief Terlumun Jonathan Akputu (assignor) and himself(assignee) as well as the Certificate of Occupancy.

The deed was signed by both parties in the presence of a legal practitioner Amaechi and the APC chair’s wife Dr (Mrs.) Margaret Abba Yaro.

The deed was dated 4th May, 2018 with the accompanying affidavit of ownership and transfer deposed at the Benue State High Court on 17th May, 2018.

The documents reads: “Whereas the assignor is the beneficial title holder of all that developed property known as plot No. 2441 Gboko Road Cadastral Zone MKD04 Gboko Road District covering an area of 1027.44m square situated at Judges Quarters Gboko Road District, Makurdi which is covered by Certificate of Occupancy No. 80022333S00200G22302-01 with a file No. BN22786 having been allocated same by the Benue State government.

“The assignor is now desirous of transferring his interest in the said piece of land and has agreed to transfer same to the Assignee herein who. He has agreed to acquire the land from the Assignor for an agreed consideration.

“The assignor as the beneficial owner hereby assigns all existing interest in all that developed property registered as No. 01629 at page 00066 in volume 0001 in the registrar to the Assignee herein to hold onto and enjoy absolutely henceforth, free from any form of encumbrances.”

“So you can see with all these documents that I genuinely acquired the house contrary to claims that it was gotten illegally.”
