Court Begins Proceedings in NBM’s Legal Action Against Edo State Over Demolition of Property

The Federal High Court in Benin has commenced proceedings in the lawsuit brought forth by the Neo-Black Movement (NBM) of Africa against Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo.

The suit alleges unlawful trespass and the unauthorized demolition of the NBM’s national secretariat, located at the Oba Ewuare II Cultural Centre, Arena Way, Amagba, Benin City, Edo State.

A 28-member legal team from NBM, led by Chief Reginald Asiuwhu, filed the lawsuit on June 4, seeking both justice and compensation for what they term significant violations of their constitutional rights to freedom of association, as well as the illegal destruction of their property.

The Edo State Government is represented by prominent attorneys including Steve Okuro, O.C. Igbinedion, C.C. Chinedu, and H.A. Bello, SAN.

In a court session held on Thursday, H.A. Bello SAN, leading the defense for the Edo State Government, contended that the third defendant in the suit had not been appropriately served with the necessary court documents.

Justice Chukwu Obiozor requested proof of service from NBM’s legal team; however, they were unable to provide it, attributing the issue to a misplaced document.

As a result, Justice Obiozor postponed the case until June 16, 2025, encouraging both parties to prepare thoroughly with all necessary documentation and to follow legal protocols closely.

Outside the courtroom, Chief Reginald Asiuwhu expressed his unwavering confidence in the movement’s case.

He stated, “NBM of Africa is a charitable, non-governmental organization that had its secretariat wrongfully demolished by the Edo State Government.”

“As a responsible government, there should be a valid court order before any property demolition is carried out. This reckless act is what brings us here today to challenge and declare such actions unconstitutional.”

Asiuwhu contended that the characterization of the group as a “cult organization” is defamatory, libelous, and constitutes a sweeping accusation that ignores legal due process.

He added, “Even if there are individuals with misconduct within the organization, it does not taint the entire group. NBM operates like any registered organization in Nigeria and is officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in accordance with Nigerian law.”

He also suggested that if the government had concerns, they should have consulted security footage to review activities at the NBM secretariat before taking further legal action.

Describing the demolished secretariat as a “large, well-furnished building” that also served as a community venue for social events, he questioned how such a structure could be demolished without forewarning, allowing any opportunity to salvage items, or providing a fair hearing. “The Edo State Government will bear the consequences of their actions. This will be the final unlawful demolition they undertake,” he asserted, emphasizing that the state would face repercussions.

“As we fight for NBM, we are also standing up for all registered organizations that may be threatened in the future.”

Dr. Sir Chukwudi Ijeoma, President of NBM of Africa Upper South East, expressed, “We are here to contest this unlawful demolition. We are a recognized organization, and the government should acknowledge that.”

The NBM of Africa is taking legal action against what it views as an infringement of its fundamental human rights due to the demolition of its international secretariat.

Meanwhile, representatives of the Edo State Government have refrained from commenting on the ongoing case.

It is noteworthy that on April 30, 2025, the Edo State Government dispatched bulldozers and personnel to the organization’s international secretariat to demolish the entire structure without any prior notice.

In a strong show of solidarity, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Delta Central Senatorial District has officially endorsed President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as their exclusive candidates for the upcoming 2027 elections.

This endorsement came during the APC Delta Central Mega Unity Meeting held in Ughelli, which brought together key political figures and supporters from federal, state, and local government levels. The gathering focused on reinforcing their commitment to President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori’s leadership.

Rt. Hon. Francis Waive, who represents the Ughelli/Udu Federal Constituency, proposed the motion for their adoption, commending President Tinubu’s economic policies and Governor Oborevwori’s effective governance.

Former House of Representatives member, Hon. Halims Agoda, supported the motion, further demonstrating the consensus within the party.

Senator Ede Dafinone, who represents Delta Central, conducted a voice vote on the motion, which was unanimously approved, highlighting the party’s robust support for both leaders.

The assembly also expressed confidence in the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori, with local party leaders reaffirming their support for their re-election in 2027.

Chief Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, emphasized that the meeting was designed to enhance unity among party members. He described President Tinubu as an exemplary steward of national resources and pointed out the complementary relationship between the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, which aims to benefit the entire populace.

Keyamo remarked, “This meeting is not merely a routine gathering. This is the ‘Ukodo’ base, and it is imperative that no other senatorial district claims this initiative.”

He further noted that since the inception of democratic governance in 1999, the Urhobo nation in Delta Central has never been as united as it is now, predicting that this unity would enable the APC to secure a 100% vote in Delta State for the first time.

The Unity Meeting is planned to be replicated across the eight local governments in the senatorial district, encouraging leaders to proceed with resolve and purpose.

Elder Omeni Sobotie, the State Chairman of the APC, emphasized the importance of the gathering, which he labeled the “All Progressive Congress, Delta Central Unity Meeting.” He thanked the supporters for their dedication and commended both Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Festus Keyamo for their pivotal roles in promoting party unity.

Chief Paulinus Akpeki, the Chairman of the party in Delta Central Senatorial District, remarked that the state is experiencing a transformative era under Governor Oborevwori and praised his decision to join the APC.

Akpeki stated, “Today signifies a moment of unity, purpose, and vision. It is a day for us to reaffirm our commitment to collectively pave a common path forward.”

Prominent speakers at the event, including 2015 APC gubernatorial candidate Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, Chief Stella Okotete, Executive Director at NEXIM Bank, Chief Adviser to the Delta State Governor Senator Ighoyota Amori, and Chief Jaro Egbo, Chairman of Ughelli North Local Government, reiterated their dedication to unity and promised to collaborate for the party’s success in the forthcoming elections.

The meeting was well attended by members of the National and State Assemblies from the district, federal appointees, commissioners, local government chairpersons, and other political office holders.
