Ndinwuba Family Warns Public Against Illegal Land Transactions with Agbomba, Associates
By Wilson Macaulay
The leadership of the Ndinwuba Family of Amauzam Obeagu in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State has cautioned the general public against purchasing lands and other kindred-owned properties from Mr. Ifeanyi Agbomba Egbo, Barr. Emeka Agu, and their associates.
According to the family, any transaction with these individuals are illegal and will result in significant legal troubles for the buyers hence the need for them to stay away out of trouble
The warning comes in light of a subsisting court order from the High Court of Enugu State, which affirmed the legitimacy of the Mr. Timothy Ogbodo-led Executive as the only recognized leadership of the family. The court order explicitly restrains Mr. Agbomba and his group from interfering with the family’s assets or parading themselves as executives.
Recall that the Enugu State High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice A. O. Onovo, on July 28, 2023, in Suit No. E/349/2023, granted an order of interim injunction restraining Mr. Ifeanyi Agbomba Egbo and others from performing any function as executives of the Ndinwuba Family. The court also barred them from selling, leasing, or dealing with family properties, including the contentious lands at Centenary Layout, Enugu.
Speaking on the matter in Enugu on Monday, the solicitor to the Ogbodo-led Executive, Barr. J. N. Aloh reiterated that the court’s decision is binding and must be respected.
He posited that he wonders why some elements from the community will continue to sell lands meant for their Community even when there is an existing court order.
According to him, “The public is advised to desist from dealing with Mr. Agbomba and his group regarding Ndinwuba Family lands, especially those along Centenary City. Such actions amount to contempt of court and expose buyers to severe legal risks,” he stated.
Also speaking with newsmen, the chairman of the Ndinwuba Family, Mr. Timothy Ogbodo, alleged that a lot of their family-owned lands, especially those around Centenary City, are currently being sold by a few individuals from their village to innocent buyers.
He stressed that any land transactions conducted by unauthorized persons would be declared null and void, urging prospective buyers to verify the authenticity of any dealings through the recognized leadership to avoid falling victim to fraudulent activities.
Chief Ogbodo further assured the public of their commitment to protecting the family’s properties and ensuring that all dealings follow due process.
“Our doors remain open for legitimate inquiries and peace making. Let no one be deceived by false claims or misrepresentation.”
” I am the authorised chairman of the family and will continue to work for the interest of my people.”
