Firm Writes Intelligence Agency Over Officers’ Trespass On Property

A firm, A and R International Investment Limited, has called for the intervention of the director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) over alleged illegal trespass on a property located on Plot 1682, Zone 7, Wuse.

In a letter dated October 14, 2025, to the NIA DG, the firm said that the trespassers started destroying some parts of the property after the illegal intrusion and trespass on the property.
The letter, signed by Barr Victor Giwa, lead partner, Victor Giwa and Associates, told the DG that the NIA, as one of the best security agencies in the country, its officers should not be named or seen in such characterisation.

He said the property, which was occupied and managed by his clients through their agents since 2009, has been trespassed, barricaded, and taken over by armed officers of the agency.

Giwa said in the letter, “This occupation and trespass took place shortly after our clients’ agent took a writ from the court to vacate some persons who held over some flats for several years without payment of their rents.

“All efforts to inquire about the reason for the occupation, trespass of our clients’ property by your armed officers, have proved abortive and were greeted with threats.

“It was also discovered that the trespassers had started destroying some of the property shortly after the illegal intrusion and trespass on the property.

“It’s based on the worrisome development that we, as counsel, have written this letter to you to call your urgent attention to this situation.

“Sir, it is our position that the activities of your officers in the said property are intimidating, unlawful, and illegal, aimed at forcefully taking possession of our clients’ property without lawful authority,” Giwa said.
