When it comes to property investment in Nigeria, due diligence is non-negotiable. A recent ruling by the High Court in FCT Abuja has placed River Park Estate, located along the popular Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road, under strict restrictions.
Watch the full video on YouTube:
The court ordered all parties involved in the dispute to maintain status quo, meaning:
- No new sales
- No fresh transactions
- No processing of Rights of Occupancy (R of O) or Certificates of Occupancy (C of O)
Until the next hearing on October 27, 2025, the estate remains in legal limbo.
If you buy land or property there now, you risk losing everything when the court delivers its ruling.
THE DISPUTES BEHIND RIVER PARK ESTATE
The conflicts around River Park Estate are multifaceted:
1. Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited vs Dunamis International Church:
Jonah Capital claims Dunamis encroached on part of the estate and converted it into a parking lot.Dunamis denies any wrongdoing, insisting it has a valid allocation to the land.
2. Forgery Allegations Against Jonah Capital:
Jonah Capital itself is facing forgery charges in what appears to be a desperate bid to assert full ownership and control over the estate.
These disputes make the estate encumbered, placing potential buyers in a very dangerous position.
