UBA Institutes Contempt Suit Against Land Grabber

The University of Benin (UBA) has taken a bold step to protect its interests by filing a contempt suit against a land grabber who has been encroaching on its land.

The institution has been embroiled in a long-standing land tussle with the land grabber, who has been occupying a portion of the university's land without any valid title or permission. Despite several warnings and notices, the land grabber has refused to vacate the land, prompting the university to take legal action.

In the contempt suit filed at the Benin High Court, UBA is seeking an order of the court to compel the land grabber to vacate the land and pay damages for the trespass and encroachment.

According to the university's counsel, the land grabber's actions have caused significant financial losses and damage to the institution's property. The counsel argued that the land grabber's refusal to vacate the land is a clear contempt of the court's earlier orders and a violation of the university's rights.

The university is seeking a declaration that the land grabber has no right to occupy the land and an order directing the land grabber to vacate the land forthwith. The institution is also seeking an order for the land grabber to pay damages for the trespass and encroachment.

The case is expected to come up for hearing soon, and the university is confident that justice will be served. The institution is committed to protecting its interests and ensuring that its land is not encroached upon by unauthorized individuals.

In a statement, the university's spokesperson said, "We will not tolerate any form of land grabbing or encroachment on our land. We will continue to take all necessary legal steps to protect our interests and ensure that our land is not encroached upon by unauthorized individuals."

The university is urging all stakeholders to respect its rights and interests and to refrain from any actions that may compromise its ability to carry out its mandate.
