Former Chairman of Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and senator representing  Delta North, Chief Peter Nwaoboshi’s company, PON Specialised Services, has been dragged before a Delta State  High Court sitting in Asaba,  for allegedly disobeying the order granted by Justice F. Azinge in respect of a parcel of land in Asaba.

Justice Azinge granted the order in the suit between DavNotch and PON Specialised Services in which all parties were restrained from entering the disputed land pending the determination of the substantive suit.

According to Davnotch’s counsel, Sola Rhiogbere, his client, DavNotch instituted a case of trespass, accusing PON Services, owned by Nwaoboshi, of trespassing on the land, which the senator denied.

Rhiogbere said: “Sequel to the development, Form 48 notice of consequences of disobedience of court order was initiated against PON Services. It defied the order and was subsequently served with Form 49: notice to show cause why order of commital should not be made against you, PON Specialised Services.”

Rhiogbere added that the fresh suit followed his petition to Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zane Ibrahim, in which he alleged that in May this year, some persons believed to be agents of Nwaoboshi, forcefully broke into the company’s land measuring 4019.440 square meters and began construction on the land.

He averred that the ownership of the land was incontestable as available authenticated documents show that DavNotch Enterprises owns the land situated at plot 37, Core Area, Central Spine, Phase IV, Asaba. This is covered by Certificate of Occupancy, No.DTSR 14767 issued in 2010,  approved by the then state governor, signed by then Commissioner for Lands, Raymos Guanah, on behalf of the governor. It was registered as No. 47 on page 47 involume Co 186 of the office of the Lands Registry in Asaba with relevant details of payment for the land.

Hearing in the case has been adjourned till October 12, 2016.
