Raises Alarm Over WINHOMES Case, Seeks Presidential Intervention"},"content":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">By Lizzy Chirkpi<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has condemned what it described as prolonged injustice in the case involving WINHOMES Global Services Limited and diaspora investors affected by the Lagos\u2013Calabar Coastal Road project, calling for urgent intervention by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, HURIWA said the matter, which has lingered for over two years, raises serious concerns about Nigeria\u2019s commitment to the rule of law and its reputation as an investment destination.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group noted that despite repeated engagements with relevant authorities and the submission of necessary documentation by affected parties, there has been no conclusive resolution or compensation paid to WINHOMES Global Services Limited.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA said the delay, which has stretched beyond 24 months, suggests either bureaucratic inefficiency or deeper systemic issues requiring urgent government attention.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The association also referenced a widely circulated video in which the Minister of Works, David Umahi, reportedly stated that he personally ordered the demolition of the WINHOMES Estate, adding that the directive did not come from the President.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to HURIWA, the statement raises constitutional and administrative concerns regarding due process and the exercise of authority in matters involving private investments.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe public admission, if accurately represented, necessitates immediate clarification from the highest levels of government,\u201d the group said, stressing the need to determine whether established legal procedures were followed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA further expressed concern over the plight of a diaspora investor, reportedly a woman, who mobilised significant foreign direct investment into the country but allegedly suffered demolition of her property, reputational damage, and prolonged delays in securing redress.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group warned that any perception of targeted victimisation could erode investor confidence and harm Nigeria\u2019s global image.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It added that the unresolved dispute carries broader implications for the country\u2019s investment climate, noting that investors require assurances of legal protection, transparency, and timely dispute resolution.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA cautioned that continued inaction may reinforce negative perceptions about governance and accountability, especially as details of the case, including video evidence and official statements, are already in the public domain.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The association called on the President to intervene by clarifying the extent of authorisation for the demolition, ensuring due process was followed, and directing the prompt payment of compensation to affected parties.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It also urged the Federal Ministry of Works to provide a transparent account of the circumstances surrounding the demolition, including its legal basis.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, HURIWA called for an independent investigation by relevant anti-corruption and oversight agencies to determine whether there was any abuse of office or violation of constitutional provisions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group stressed that Nigeria cannot afford to project an image where investments are destroyed without accountability, warning that justice delayed in such cases undermines governance, weakens economic prospects, and damages the country\u2019s international standing.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA said it would continue to monitor the situation and sustain advocacy efforts until justice is achieved.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content
