NDC candidate for Idemili North and South Federal Constituency, Engr. Eric Nnamdi Anyamene (Ezenwa Obosi), has responded to what he describes as misleading reports being circulated about him in connection with NEXTDORA NIG. LTD and its property at Guzape, Abuja.
In the statement released on Tuesday, Anyamene provides his account of the matter, outlines the history of the company and the property, and addresses the CAC records, investigations and court proceedings surrounding the dispute. He also presents the documents and subsequent developments which, according to him, establish the position of the company and the outcome of the case.
Below is the full text of the statement:
Good morning, Umu Idemili.
I have followed with concern the reports and commentary being circulated about me in connection with NEXTDORA NIG. LTD and its property at Plot 4411, Cadastral Zone A09, Guzape District, Abuja. I would ordinarily have chosen not to respond to political attacks, but I believe Ndi Idemili deserve to hear directly from me, particularly when a matter involving official records and court proceedings is being presented in a way that can create a completely wrong impression.
I am therefore putting my side of the story on record, not to engage in a political quarrel, but to provide the facts and allow the relevant documents to speak for themselves.
NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, RC 1190723, is my company. It was incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission on 16 May 2014 as a private company limited by shares, with my wife and me as directors. Since its incorporation, the company has remained an active business concern, maintaining corporate bank accounts, fulfilling its statutory obligations and conducting lawful transactions with both public and private institutions.
The property at the centre of the controversy is Plot 4411, Cadastral Zone A09, Guzape District, Abuja, measuring approximately 2.46 hectares and covered by FCT Land File No. MISC 128232. The Certificate of Occupancy identifies NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, RC 1190723, as the holder of the statutory right of occupancy for 99 years commencing from 29 September 2014. The relevant statutory payments were made, and the company obtained the necessary development approvals in preparation for developing the property.
For several years, developers approached us with proposals to either purchase the property or enter into joint-venture arrangements. We declined those proposals because we intended to develop the property ourselves. Following the COVID-19 period, we cleared and fenced the land and continued preparations for its development.
The situation changed in December 2024 when I received information that unknown persons had entered the property and commenced excavation and other activities. I went to the site with members of my team and met people who claimed an interest in the land. NEXTDORA had never sold, transferred, assigned or relinquished its interest in the property.
What followed was the discovery of irregularities in the Corporate Affairs Commission records relating to the company.
A CAC search revealed an entity bearing the name NEXTDORA NIGERIA LIMITED and purportedly associated with RC No. 564478. The names appearing as directors were completely unknown to us: Mubarak Musa Saliu, Ibrahim Sule and Professor Sani Ibrahim. More remarkably, when our genuine RC number, 1190723, was searched, it returned the name of an entirely different company, NETCAP INTESWITCH NIG. PLC.
We immediately reported the matter to the relevant authorities. On 12 December 2024, NEXTDORA petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for an investigation into the suspected manipulation of its CAC records and the attempted takeover of its property. The petition was acknowledged and assigned Petition No. EFCC/PET/HOR/4284/2024. We also petitioned the Nigeria Police Force and the relevant FCT authorities.
The Corporate Affairs Commission subsequently restored the genuine records of NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, RC 1190723. In its letter of 6 January 2025, reference COM/GCE/2025/007, the Commission confirmed the restoration of the company's details and stated that the circumstances surrounding the appearance of NETCAP INTESWITCH NIG. PLC against our RC number were being investigated.
There was further official confirmation from the CAC. In its publication of 15 August 2025 titled “Disclaimer on the Purported Incorporation of the Underlisted Companies,” the Commission listed at No. 192 the entity described as NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, purported RC 564478, among companies it identified in connection with fraudulent incorporation records.
[CAC Disclaimer on the Purported Incorporation of the Underlisted Companies] https://www.cac.gov.ng/news/5620
That publication is significant because it confirms the distinction that NEXTDORA had raised from the beginning. The genuine company is NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, RC 1190723. The entity associated with the purported RC 564478 was not a legitimate incorporation as represented.
The matter also proceeded to court. The persons claiming an interest in the property instituted a frivolous law suit, suit No. FCT/HC/CV/5517/2024 at a vacation Court of FCT High Court, while we were out of town for Christmas 2024, this deceptive lawsuit was in a bid to intimidate and scare the authentic owners of the property, and I was named as a defendant alongside other parties. An interim order obtained at an early stage of the proceedings has since been circulated as though it were a final judgment against me.
It was not.
An interim order is temporary and cannot, by itself, be presented as a final determination of ownership, liability or wrongdoing. The proper way to understand the case is to look at how the proceedings ultimately ended.
As a result of our various petitions to law enforcement agencies, criminal investigation arose from the allegations surrounding the disputed corporate records and the entry onto the property. The matter investigated by the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit resulted in criminal proceedings under Charge No. CR/210/2025, in a case between the Inspector-General of Police and Mubarak Musa Saliu and Professor Sani Ibrahim. The persons involved were remanded in connection with the proceedings, and, during the process, they made admissions concerning the trespass and signed an affidavit acknowledging that they had entered the property and that their claim was wrong. The relevant affidavit and court documents will speak to this aspect of the matter.
I want to make one thing very clear: I did not wake up one morning and decide to take somebody else's property. I was defending a property belonging to a company in which I am a director after discovering that people unknown to us were relying on fraudulent and disputed corporate records to assert a claim over it.
The genuine company reported the matter to the appropriate institutions, pursued the restoration of its corporate records and defended its interest through the courts. The CAC restored the company's records. The purported RC 564478 was subsequently identified in the Commission's public disclaimer.
As a result of the extensive criminal investigation by the law enforcement agencies and criminal charges filed against the fraudulent NEXTDORA RC 574478 and it's agents , the parties now entered into Terms of Settlement dated 18 December 2025. Under those terms, the claimants acknowledged NEXTDORA NIG. LTD, RC 1190723, as the rightful owner of Plot 4411, relinquished their purported rights and interest in the property and undertook not to interfere with the company's ownership, possession or use of the property.
On 26 February 2026, the High Court of the FCT adopted the Terms of Settlement and entered them as the judgment of the court.
That is the final position of the case. It did not end with a judgment against me or NEXTDORA. It ended with the claimants relinquishing their fraudulent claim to the property and the court adopting that settlement as its judgment.
The claimants ultimately relinquished their fraudulent claim to Plot 4411, and the High Court adopted the settlement as its judgment.
It is therefore misleading to take a frivolous interim order obtained from a vacation court during the Christmas holidays, present it in isolation, and circulate it as though it were a final judgment against me.
I have nothing to hide. The company's incorporation documents, title documents, CAC correspondence, petitions to the EFCC and Police, court processes, Terms of Settlement, judgment and other relevant records are available for proper scrutiny.
I am not asking anyone to believe me simply because I have spoken. I am asking Ndi Idemili to examine the documents, consider the complete sequence of events and make their own judgment.
As a candidate for the Idemili North and South Federal Constituency, I understand that public life requires accountability and transparency. I also believe that political competition should not require the destruction of another person's name through outright falsehoods and fabricated narratives.
My focus remains on the people I seek to represent and on the issues that matter to them. I will continue to offer myself for public service with the values I have always held dear: accountability, transparency, integrity, competence, courage and service.
This matter has been resolved through the appropriate legal and administrative processes. I consider it important simply to put the record straight and ensure that Ndi Idemili have the full picture.
I have stated my side. The documents are available. The record speaks for itself.
Ndi Idemili deserve the truth, and nothing less.
