* Abacha family kicks
The Kaduna State Government on Wednesday night demolished the
moribund Durbar Hotel located along Independence Way, Kaduna.
The ownership of the hotel had been in contention between the
Federal Government and the family of the late head of state, Gen
Sani Abacha since 2001.
It was observed that the demolition exercise was carried out by
officials Kaduna State Urban Development Agency, (KASUPDA).
According to the Abacha family lawyer, Mr. Reuben Atabor, “the
Durbar Hotel belongs to the family of late head of state, Gen Sani
Abacha. They have been in court with the Federal Government since
2001. The family won the case against the Federal Government. Then
the Federal Government appealed and lost at the Appeal Court.
“And as I speak with you, the case is at the Supreme Court, and
it has not been decided. So why should anybody demolish the hotel?
We saw KASUPDA equipment demolishing the hotel, and since KASUPDA
is Kaduna State government agency, all we know is the State
government that is behind the demolition. The Abacha family will
get justice because we are filing a court motion against the
demolition.”
An eye witness who did not want his name mentioned said: “We saw
heavy equipment accompanied by security personnel, and thereafter
the demolition started.”
But when contacted on phone, the Director-General of KASUPDA,
Ismail Umar Dikko did not respond at the time of filing this
report.
Our reporter who was at the scene of the demolition reports that
while the exercise was in progress, security personnel were
stationed at in the vehicle, probably to forestall any breakdown of
law and order.
