A property firm, Abeh Signature Limited has filed a stay of execution of the judgement of the Court of Appeal pending an appeal to the Supreme Court, in the property dispute between it and one Asabe Waziri, a senior staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

The Appeal Court unanimously overturned the judgement of Justice Othman Musa of the FCT High Court, which ordered Abeh Signature Ltd, to refund N150m to Ms. Asabe Waziri, being the amount paid for two bedroom unit, of flat 3B and 3C at Abeh Signature Apartments located at 1, Mekong Close. Maitama Abuja.

Not satisfied with the judgement, Asabe approached the court, praying for an order to set aside the high court judgement. Justice Barka, in his judgment, stated:"It is clear that the respondent, having benefitted more from the transaction, seeks to vitiate the contract possibly to further benefit from it. I agree with the appellant's counsel that the appeal is destined for success and should be allowed. Hence, having resolved all issues in favor of the appellant, this appeal succeeds and is hereby allowed.
