- *Invasion of Property*: The lawyer alleges that NAF personnel, led by a Group Captain identified as Femi, invaded the property and chased away security guards and workers.
- *Use of Threats and Intimidation*: The personnel allegedly used threats and intimidation to assert control over the property, despite ongoing court proceedings.
Petition's Key Demands
- *Immediate Withdrawal of NAF Personnel*: The lawyer demands the immediate withdrawal of NAF personnel from the disputed property.
- *Investigation into the Incident*: A thorough investigation into the actions of the NAF personnel involved in the invasion.
- *Assurance Against Future Incidents*: Assurance that such incidents will not recur and that the NAF will respect the rule of law and court orders.
Background of the Dispute
The dispute over the property has been ongoing, with both parties claiming ownership. A Federal Capital Territory High Court has ordered all parties to maintain the status quo pending the determination of the substantive suit [1].
