The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the ongoing property dispute involving Iyabo Obasanjo and other parties to July 9, 2026, for further hearing.
The matter, which came up before Justice Mohammed Umar on Wednesday, could not proceed as scheduled and was subsequently postponed for further mention.
The case, listed as number eight on the court’s cause list, had initially been fixed for hearing but was delayed due to procedural issues.
According to court records, the suit had earlier been reassigned to Justice Inyang Ekwo, who previously handled the matter before it was returned for continuation.
The case has experienced several delays in the past, including occasions when legal representatives for both the plaintiffs and defendants were absent from court proceedings.
The suit was filed by ABB Electrical Systems Limited and Ambassador Yohana Margif against Senator Iyabo Obasanjo and other defendants over the ownership of a disputed property in Abuja.
The property at the centre of the dispute is located at Plot 4254, Cadastral Zone A04, Asokoro District, Abuja, and covers approximately 1.67 hectares of land.
Other defendants named in the case include former senator Philip Aduda and several other parties.
The matter previously came before Justice Ekwo, who declined to grant an ex-parte injunction requested by the plaintiffs. Instead, he ordered that all defendants be formally notified of the proceedings.
The plaintiffs are seeking a court order restraining the defendants from trespassing on, altering, or interfering with the property, which they claim belongs to them under a statutory Right of Occupancy issued in 2006.
They argue that any interference with the land could result in irreparable damage and constitute a miscarriage of justice.
The court is expected to continue hearing the matter when proceedings resume on July 9.
