Sex Party Saga: Owner Of Demolished Restaurant Drags Kaduna Govt To Court

Aisha Mercy Yakubu, chief executive officer (CEO) of Asher Kings and Queens Restaurant in Kaduna says she’s going to institute legal action against the state government over the demolition of her restaurant.

Ekohotblog had reported how the state government through its Urban Planning and Development Agency (KASUPDA) demolished the restaurant over imminent purported illicit and obscene acts.

KASUPDA claimed the demolished building was the proposed venue of a sex party.

However, a flyer attached to a tweet announcing the event had no detail of the location of the party.

But in statement on Saturday, Yakubu refuted  the assertion of the state government that her restaurant was the venue for a planned sex party.

She said she would not condone such immoral act let alone allow her restaurant to be used for such base endeavours.

Yakubu added that her restaurant located at 75 Kachia Road, Sabon Tasha area of the state was duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commision  under the COMPANIES AND ALLIED MATTERS ACT 1990 Food Production and Processing Services and with the registration number BN2463851

Narrating her travail, she said trouble began on the 27th December, 2020, after “a customer hired the VIP Lounge for a 15-man reunion/Clothing line promo, to appreciate his customers for their good patronage of his brands”

“Before the event proper commenced, a friend of mine and i noticed an unusual movement around the main gate to the restaurant, as it was half opened to avoid a crowded environment. We approached the main gate and on getting there I saw two truck load of heavily armed officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

“I asked the team leader what was going on but he ignored my question and said he will explain to me when we get to the Police Station, Sabon Tasha Division.

” When we arrived the Police station, my customer, who accompanied me to the station, enquired what the matter was and the Police showed us a poster on a GSM phone belonging to one of the officers by name Inspector Felix.

“It was a poster of an event titled; KADUNA SEX Party, which the Police claimed the venue for the supposed “sex party” was scheduled to hold at my restaurant, even though with no address of where it will take place on the poster” She narrated

She said she denied knowledge of the event as there was nothing of such taking place at the restaurant and that she wouldn’t be party to such illicit activity but the Police did not believe her.

She disclosed that the police detained her friend and two of her staff for one night, one day, “until the customer that had earlier hired the place for usage on that fateful day was also arrested the next day”

“They were released after paying a “bail fee” of #100,000 to Inspector Felix and one other lady Officer, fair in complexion” she said

I noticed how incompetent the NPF were, i suggested to the them to call the number on the supppsed “Kaduna Sex Party” poster, which they immediately put a call through and a name came out using the True Caller App as MARVELLOUS AKPAN.

“The Police asked me to pay a fee of #20,000 for them to do their job of tracking the user of the phone number, which I immediately paid them so that they will swing into action.

” Marvellous Akpan was arrested the next. He was interrogated and he obliged to owning the phone number on the poster and printing of the poster which was posted on Social Media, assisted by a friend of his named Noah and one other guy.

“On further interrogation, Mr Marvellous Akpan confessed to the Police that he doesn’t know me and has never being to my restaurant nor have any knowledge of its address” she disclosed

Yakubu said she got a call from a friend the next day, which was  31st December, while at the other Branch, at Court Road, Sabon Tasha, urging her to go to the main Restaurant and see what was going on.

“I immediately went and saw a combined team of Police men, Soldiers, KASTLEA and Vigilante groups guarded a Pay loader to demolished my restaurant” she said

She said there was no prior notice or any form of communication between her and the Kaduna State Property Development Agency (KASUPDA)
who came to demolished the building structure.

She said the lack of prior notice and time to move out essential items and commodities before the demolition made her incur huge financial loss.

She disclosed that items, materials and appliances worth ₦32 million were buried beneath the rubbles and remains of demolition, adding that the trauma made her lose her one month old pregnancy.

“I plan to seek legal redress for defamation of my character and the loss of my properties in the building” she said
