The Umuejechi Nekede community in Owerri West LGA of Imo State is accusing the State Government of disrespecting a court judgement restraining it from tampering with the parcel of land which initially harboured the former Agricultural Development Corporation, ADC.
Organisations located in the land, which the community said belongs to it by virtue of a High Court judgement include the former Nekede Zoo, the Songhai Farms Area, the Staff Quarters of the defunct ADC and the Imo Forestry. A document that was issued to journalists through the community's lawyer, U.B.Okoro Obinna, stated that judgement was delivered in favour of the community against the State Government in a suit numbered HOW/603/2018, in a case between DR.
and three others representing the Community against the GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE and two others. According to the lawyer, the State Government filed an appeal challenging the judgement which is still pending at the Supreme Court. He noted that in spite of the clear orders of the court restraining the government and its privies from further trespass on the land, it still went ahead and concluded plans to build a hotel on the land, in spite of the pending appeal at the Supreme Court.
