A resident of Effurun in Warri, Delta State, Mr. Richard Loromeke, has instituted a N100 million suit against the registered trustees of Believers Love World, also known as Christ Embassy, for trespass on his parcel of land and exhumation of remains of his mother, Madam Cecilia Loromeke, buried on the land situated in Aba, Abia State.
He also asked the court for…
an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants by themselves, servants, agents, workmen, surrogates, thugs and/or privies from any further trespass on the disputed land.
He explained that after his mother’s death and burial in 2006, he continued to manage the estate and collect rent from tenants made up of electricians, mechanics and artisans that her mother leased the land to when she could not farm anymore due to failing health.
He averred that in November 2011, the first defendant started to foment trouble by trespassing on the said land in dispute when he came to serve all the tenants court orders during his absence, which propelled him to warn the trespasser to steer clear of the land.
The claimant noted that while away to Senegal, the first defendant in December of the same year, chased away all the tenants and that in November 2012, without his consent, invaded the land in dispute, demolished his mother’s grave house, which he had erected over his mother’s tomb.
