He also paid Okafor N500, 000 to prepare documents<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">over the purchase of the land from Enwonwu.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The ex NADECO chieftain told Pointblanknews.com that Tokosi had<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">approached him to complete his then unfinished building at 24A Ikoyi<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Crescent and share the units between them. They entered an into joint<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">venture agreement which stated that Tokosi was to perfect the land<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">title, build a first class finished building of the highest standard<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">well as ensure that all building approvals are gotten and his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">consent(Obioha&#8217;s) obtained before any changes will be allowed in the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">building. He disclosed that the joint venture agreement he made with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Tokosi on the property was handed over to his lawyer for safe keeping.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Now, he alleges that Tokosi has deviated from the terms of agreement and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">plotted with his lawyer, Okafor, trying to take over the property.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Okafor claims that the joint venture agreement was consumed in a fire<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">which gutted his office in a building owned by Tokosi.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Narrating his ordeal to Pointblanknews.com, Obioha said he had<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">demolished a bungalow at the side and started erecting a building<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">through a firm, Multi-Project Limited, owned by Mr. Ademola Odutola who<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">was introduced to him by Tokosi in 1993. He paid Odutola N70, 000 Pounds<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and he commenced work in 1993. Following the onslaught against him and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">other NADECO chieftains by the General Sani Abacha junta over its<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">refusal of the military to swear in the winner of the 1993 presidential<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">poll, Chief M.K.O Abiola, Obioha had to flee into exile to USA which<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lasted till 1998.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He said; &#8220;Political unrest rocked Nigeria following the refusal of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">military to swear in Chief M.K.O. Abiola as the winner of the 1993<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">presidential election. The truncation of Abiola&#8217;s mandate predicated a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">massive unrest with General Sani Abacha assuming full military powers<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and I, being a front liner in the struggle fled into exile in the USA,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">partly for my safety and most importantly, to continue with the struggle<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for the restoration of democracy. Multi-Projects continued with the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">construction of my property at 24A Ikoyi Crescent, reached foundation<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">level and had to stop as my flight to USA which we believed will be<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">brief turned from months to years. I didn&#8217;t return to Nigeria until<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">1998.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Four years after his return from exile and the property lying<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">uncompleted, the ex NADECO chieftain said Tokosi approached him to allow<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 him complete the building on the basis of sharing the four units ; two<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">each to himself and Tokosi. He explained that Tokosi also agreed to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">perfect the Certificate of Occupancy of the land and other fees.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Obioha lamented that the agreement to allow Tokosi complete the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">unfinished building and share the units between them was his major<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">undoing as the latter rented one of the two units belonging to him<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">(Obioha), paid rent thrice and declined further payment since 2018 while<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">still occupying the unit.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He said; &#8220;Tokosi rented one of my two units, paid rent for three years<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and stopped. He started claiming that the property belongs to the Lagos<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">State government and not me. Out of curiosity, I sensed that Tokosi must<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">have engaged in some fraudulent practices because many documents started<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">disappearing from the file.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;My erstwhile lawyer, Chima Okafor, called me in the USA and announced<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that he will no longer act as my lawyer, that I should return<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">immediately to Lagos and collect my property file with him. When I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">returned to Lagos after a week, I discovered that Tokosi and Okafor had<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">concluded a plot to take over my property .Okafor refused to honour any<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">invitation for us to meet, except once and did not return the property<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">file to me till date. We spoke on phone and he said there was a fire<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">incident in his office which consumed my property file.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He accused Tokosi of having a hidden agenda and collaborating with his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lawyer, Okafor, to take over the property.\u00a0 Obioha further stated that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">he had earlier handed over some documents including the agreement he had<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">with Tokosi, to the lawyer for safe keeping.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Tokosi wants to use Okafor to deprive me of my property. The missing<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">joint venture agreement which my former lawyer claimed was burnt in a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">fire incident that took place in Mr. Tokosi&#8217;s property was contrived to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">destroy evidence particularly the part that established things that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Tokosi was to perfect the land title, build a first class finished<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">building of the highest standard, ensuring all building approvals are<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">obtained and consent obtained from me before any changes will be<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">allowed. It was convenient for all these agreements to be burnt by fire<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">as alleged by Tokosi and Okafor. If there was a fire outbreak, there are<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">laid down procedures that must be followed. Why didn&#8217;t the duo obtain a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">police report of the incident? As my then lawyer, why didn&#8217;t Okafor<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">swear to an affidavit of facts over the incident and obtain CTC of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">burnt documents and make them available to me? It was a planned scheme<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to take over my property. The two of them were of the mistaken<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">conviction that if they succeeded in claiming that the documents were<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">burnt by fire, then Tokosi will simply inherit the property. It took my<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">producing printout from my bank, UBA, that Okafor was paid N500, 000 for<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">his services to prepare necessary documents for the purchase of the land<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">from Enwonwu.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Tokosi and Okafor were aware that the enforcers of the Abacha junta<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">invaded my country home in Arondizuogu in Imo state and carted away<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">title documents on my property holdings in Nigeria including the ones I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">received in respect of 24A Ikoyi Crescent. I felt secured that my<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">lawyer, Okafor was in safe custody of the original documents of 24A<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Ikoyi Crescent. In 2006, Tokosi informed me that Okafor had told him<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that the deal I gave him (Tokosi) was a sweet one that he should give<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">him one of the four units and I dismissed the information. But now, I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">know better.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Tokosi, who was the managing director of my bank, also told me Abacha<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">closed the bank because of my NADECO activities. But it is regrettable<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that I was betrayed. Tokosi believes that the documents to the property<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">are out of sight, this is why he is shouting that the production of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">documents is all he wants. He has even made false claims that the land<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">doesn&#8217;t belong to Prof. Enwonwu, but to the Lagos state government. This<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">is a sinister plot to make a tenant, Tokosi, a landlord through the back<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">door. He was paying rent on the unit he rented and suddenly stopped. I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">bought the property at 24A Ikoyi Crescent three years before a friend<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">introduced Tokosi to me and I made him the Managing Director of my bank.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;He has made several petitions against me to the Ikoyi Police Station.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Tokosi has brought several gangs of thugs, one of who assaulted my boy,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Kingsley Mbonu. Due to the extent of the assault, the Ikoyi Police took<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">my boy to the Police clinic at Falomo. I have lost count of the number<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of times he has brought purported officials to seal my property. I have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">been arrested over 20 times by the Police on flimsy reasons.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Each time, the Police told him to maintain peace. Tokosi has also<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">dragged me before the Lagos land grabbers committee who washed their<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">hands off the matter because they discovered he has no case. He has been<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">playing the ethnic card that he is a Lagosian while I&#8217;m Igbo, but that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">is nonsense. I knew he was a Lagosian before I employed him as Managing<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Director of my bank. How did Tokosi jump into the property and start<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">developing it? Ask him to produce bill of quantities, submit all the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">technical drawings and get his collaborator to produce the agreement<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">between him and myself. If the agreement is produced, it will expose the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">many lies of Tokosi who now claims to be the landlord.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Contacted, Tokosi said the issue is that he and Obioha had a joint<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">venture agreement on a land he (Obioha) claims to be his and Lagos state<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">later objected to the claim with proofs.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In his words; &#8220;I erected the structure and completed it with money. I<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">gave him two after the completion and after awhile, Lagos State<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Government came and said they own the land. Instead of him to go there<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to ratify things, he did otherwise.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;He&#8217;s my friend. He&#8217;s a very good man. I like him. I was the Managing<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Director of his bank for six years, I still respect him. Instead of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">fighting me, he should go to Lagos State Government and clear things.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Once he clears things fine. When Lagos came, he ran to the US, my<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">investment was at stake, so I had to regularize things. So, if he clears<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">with Lagos State and pays me my money which I spent, he can have his<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">part of the property.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He alleged that Obioha employed the service of some thugs to come and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">vandalize his property which he claimed led to the arrest of the thugs<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">who confessed to him been paid by Obioha to do what they did.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Obioha&#8217;s erstwhile lawyer, Mr. Chima Okafor, who was former Commissioner<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for Commerce and Industry during Governor Peter Obi&#8217;s regime, said he<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">was in a meeting and promised to call back. Repeated calls and text<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">messages was made to his mobile number, but he never responded as at the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">time of filing this report.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex- chieftain of the defunct National Democratic Coalition, (NADECO), Chief Ralph Obioha has revealed how his former employee, Mr. Yomi Tokosi, plotted with erstwhile lawyer, Chima Okafor, seeking to deprive&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
