SaharaReporters learnt that Mosun drove all her four step-children, identified as Utibeabasi Nkanga, Etietop Nkanga, Lance Nkanga, Ini Idara Nkanga, out of the five-bedroom duplex  apartment situated at No. 3B, Mary Slessor Close, off Udo Udoma, off Yakubu Gowon Road, Asokoro, Abuja.

This followed an order of a High Court in Abuja which issued a warrant on March 24, 2022, for the possession of the five-bedroom duplex apartment in her late husband’s estate.

In a video obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday, the children were seen stranded outside the apartment with their luggage and personal property thrown out of the house.

However, in a court document filed by the four aggrieved children and their mother before the FCT High Court on Thursday through their lawyer, Mr Inibehe Effiong, to seek a new order of the court to set aside the subsisting orders granted to Mosun to evict her step-children from the apartment in dispute, it was claimed that the house was willed by Mr Nkanga as a family house to all his six surviving children.

Mr Nkanga, a retired air commodore, died of COVID-19 in December 2020.

It was also revealed that the late Nkanga said the apartment should be returned to Mrs Mosun when his last born, Ini Idara, became 30 years old.

Mr Effiong, however, said Mr Ini-Idara was 25 years old, and thus Mrs Mosun lacked the exclusive rights to the building until Ini Idara turned 30, as stipulated in the will.

“The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Judgment Debtors/Applicants are beneficiaries of the Estate of their father, including the subject property, and have the right to continue to reside in the said subject property as Family House,” a copy of the document filed by Mr Effiong on behalf of the aggrieved children and their mother obtained by SaharaReporters reads.

When SaharaReporters reached out to Mrs Nkanga to get her reaction and further clarification on the issue, she said, “The eviction was done by the court and you can go to the court if you need any information.”
