PDP's Eba Accuses Otu of Court Order Violation in Demolition

Alphonsus Ogar Eba, the deputy governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, has accused Governor Bassey Otu's administration of violating a court order by allegedly invading his property and pasting a new demolition notice on October 8, 2026. Eba claimed that a restraining order had been issued by the court against the demolition of his residential buildings, following an initial notice from the state government on June 29, 2026.

He stated that the court's order was extended after the government requested an adjournment to respond to his claims. Eba expressed shock at the alleged actions, which he described as contempt of court, and raised concerns for the safety of himself and his family.

He warned that Governor Otu should be held accountable for any harm that may come to him or his supporters. Eba remains committed to contesting the 2027 governorship election, asserting that the demolition threat only strengthens his resolve.
