Court Reserves Ruling On Gwarimpa Land

A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Bwari, Abuja, has reserved ruling on an application to amend processes filed by Tulwu Integrated Ltd against the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and AIBEN Properties Ltd.

The trial judge, Justice M.A. Madugu, announced this after taking the claimant’s application to amend the processes in a Suit No: FCT/HC/BW/CV/227/25.

The claimant, through its lead counsel, Godwin Sunday Ogboji (SAN), filed an application to amend the writ of summons, the statement of claim and the witness’s statement on oath.

The company dragged AIBEN Properties Ltd and FHA to court over their alleged encroachment on its property located along 5th Avenue, 52 Road, Gwarimpa II Estate, Abuja.

The purpose of the application was to allow the claimant to amend its processes against the defendants in light of facts not captured in the original processes sought to be amended.

The counsel to the defendants, Ayodeji Eoyede and Ademola Adeleyin, however, objected to the claimant’s application, saying the court shouldn’t grant it as it sought to overreach their defence.

After hearing the parties’ arguments, Justice Madugu reserved judgment and said a date would be communicated to them.

On January 6, 2026, the court issued an order restraining the FHA and AIBEN Properties Ltd from encroaching on the Gwarimpa property.

The case started when AIBEN Properties Ltd encroached on Tulwu Integrated Ltd’s land in Gwarimpa and carved out about 6,000 square metres, allegedly with the backing of FHA officials.

After the alleged encroachment and demolition of parts of the land’s fence by FHA and AIBEN, the company rushed to the FCT High Court and obtained an order on July 1, 2025, restraining the defendants from further encroachment.
