An international realtor, Odupaye Joseph Abimbola, has expressed satisfaction over the recent court ruling vindicating him of an alleged fraud.

In a recent judicial development, the Chief Magistrates’ Court of Nasarawa State in Karu, led by His Worship Abdulsalam Abubakar Esq., had delivered a significant ruling in Suit numbers M/312/2024, M/313/2024, M/314/2024, and M/315/2024.

The court in its ruling on the Motion filed by Joseph’s lawyer, C.S.Igwe, Esq of Waterbridge Solicitors, vacated its earlier directive to arrest and impose a ‘Post no debit’ restriction on various bank accounts belonging to Odupaye Abimbola Joseph.

The ruling delivered in favor of Odupaye Abimbola Joseph, marks a pivotal resolution in a case that attracted considerable media attention.

A statement personally signed by him, stated that previously, several media outlets had extensively covered reports calling for the arrest of Odupaye Abimbola Joseph. Some sources went as far as speculating that he was evading authorities, hinting at international pursuit by Interpol.

Abimbola Joseph Odupaiye, accompanied by attached court documents, expressed his joy and gratitude to the judiciary as this ruling has once again reinforced his belief in the saying ‘the court is the last hope of a common man’.

He further prayed that this ruling would conclusively put an end to the allegations and unfounded rumors tarnishing his reputation.

Asserting his consistent adherence to transparency and legality in his business dealings, Odupaye Abimbola Joseph emphasized that truth and integrity prevail despite persistent efforts to sully his name over time.

He, therefore, cautioned media against succumbing to financial inducements that undermine the integrity of reporting, emphasizing the detrimental impact of misleading narratives fueled by external motives.

“The court’s order to vacate the arrest warrant and financial restrictions on Odupaye Abimbola Joseph’s accounts stands as a testament that indeed our courts still uphold the fundamentals of justice”, the statement partly reads.
