The Initiative Against Human Rights Abuse and Torture (INAHURAT Nigeria) has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to comply with a court forfeiture order in a protracted land fraud case involving a 79-year-old widow, Hajia Colleen Mero Yesufu. The group alleges that Hajia Yesufu's properties in Guzape and Katampe districts, Abuja, were fraudulently converted and sold by Rebecca Omokamo Godwin Isaac.
The group also called on President Tinubu and other relevant authorities to address grave allegations of institutional misconduct by the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during a press briefing held in Abuja.
"The EFCC Chairman must immediately implement the Federal High Court's interim forfeiture orders and ensure full compliance with in partcular the directives of Justice Obiora Atuegwu Egwuatu given since March 7, 2025.
"The ordeal of Hajia Yesufu, a vulnerable elderly citizen is a glaring indictment of the systemic failures that enable fraud and injustice in Nigeria. Despite being the rightful
owner of Plot 4022, Guzape District, and Plots 1861, 1862, and 1863, Katampe District, with all legal titles and bills duly paid, she has faced egregious obstruction of justice by the very institutions sworn to protect her."
The group also asked for full accountability, stressing that all individuals found culpable, regardless of their status or connections, must be held fully accountable under the law.
"The integrity of our justice system and security apparatus is paramount. Failure to act swiftly and transparently will compel INAHURAT, Hajia Yesufu, and the estimated 60 other
victims of this injustice to personally lead a protest to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the
Presidential Villa, demanding justice for all affected Nigerians."
