Nwobodo Couple Challenges Court in N235m Land Dispute
Jim Nwobodo, a former governor of Enugu State, and his wife, Patricia Nwobodo, have filed multiple applications to challenge the jurisdiction of a court regarding a N235 million land deal with Dr. Basil Ogbuanu. The couple is facing a lawsuit filed by Ogbuanu, who claims damages related to the land transaction that has become controversial.
The case involves allegations of destruction of property on land owned by Nwobodo, with the court set to hear the matter on October 22, 2026. The defense team, led by Chief Chuma Oguejiofor, argues that the originating processes filed by the plaintiffs were improperly served, constituting a major flaw in the case.
Additionally, they contend that a similar suit (No. E244/2025) has already been filed by the Nwobodos against Ogbuanu concerning the same land issues.
The legal dispute has been ongoing for five years, with Ogbuanu seeking N5.8 billion in damages against the Nwobodos.
