Court ruling and enforcement
A court judgment confirmed Rev. Chidiebere Amakaeze as the property’s lawful landlord. The ruling gave the landlord legal rights to regain possession immediately.
A notice of enforcement was posted clearly on the building’s front door. Officials supervised staff as they removed items and vacated the premises.
The property owner brought the claim after a long-running paperwork dispute. Court records show formal filings that run back over several years now.
The landlord argued that title documents prove sole ownership of the site. The defence disputed those claims and raised questions about earlier transfers.
Neighbours said the venue had been open for many years in Wuse. Regular customers arrived on Friday to find the entrance blocked off.
Photos and short videos of staff packing began to circulate online quickly. One clip showed staff removing bottles and chairs from the ground floor.
Legal experts say enforcement follows a clear court order and a bailiff’s power. Those steps give the landlord authority to take back physical possession.
The Cubana brand often hires local managers to run each lounge location. Company spokespeople typically respond through official statements or legal teams.
Obi Cubana had recently discussed business strategy in public interviews and posts. Read more on his wider plans in a related ValidUpdates article.
The landlord’s team confirmed the enforcement order and posted the legal notice online. The case appears to centre on disputed ownership claims and title rights.
Local residents said the scene drew crowds and sparked talk across the area. Legal steps are expected as both sides move to enforce their court orders.
