A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Bwari, Abuja has adjourned the case instituted by Tulwu Integrated Limited against the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and AIBEN Properties to May 6, 2026.

The defendants were dragged to court in Suit No: FCT/HC/BW/CV/227/25 over the alleged encroachment on a property located along 5th Avenue, 52 Road, Gwarinpa Il Estate, Abuja, belonging to Tulwu Integrated Ltd.

The matter came up for hearing yesterday in relation to the claimant’s application seeking an order directing the parties to maintain the status quo.

On January 6, 2026, the court, presided over by Justice M. A. Madugu, issued an order restraining the FHA and AIBEN Properties Ltd from encroaching on the Gwarinpa property.

During yesterday’s sitting, Tulwu Integrated Properties Ltd, through its counsel, Godwin Sunday Ogboji (SAN) and Abdulazeez Ibrahim (SAN), informed the court that it had filed an application for amendment and to vacate the earlier order granting the amendment, and that the defendants were still within time to respond.

The claimant’s counsel moved for the order directing the parties to maintain the status quo pending the determination of the suit.
Counsel for the second defendant (FHA), Ademola Adeleyin and Ayodeji Eoyede, adopted a counter-affidavit and written address in opposition to the application.

The counsel for the claimant further applied for a date for a hearing of the claimant’s application for amendment.

The court obliged the application and adjourned to May 6 for the hearing of the claimant’s application for amendment.

The case began when AIBEN Properties Ltd reportedly encroached on Tulwu Integrated Ltd’s land in Gwarinpa and carved out about 6,000 square metres, allegedly with the backing of FHA officials.

Following the alleged encroachment and demolition of parts of the land’s fence by FHA and AIBEN, the company rushed to the FCT High Court and obtained an order on July 1, 2025, restraining the defendants.

Despite the court order, on December 15, 2025, armed police officers, accompanied by FHA officials, went to the land and demolished its
fence again, during which the company’s pregnant managing director was allegedly assaulted.

Shortly after the demolition, the rival developer moved equipment onto the land at night and commenced excavation, prompting it to seek further court injunctions.

While the FHA claims the original allocation was 16,000 square metres, with an alleged illegal encroachment of an additional 6,000 square metres, Tulwu Integrated Ltd insists that official documents clearly show the land measures about 22,000 square metres after survey.
